Get Your Makeup Done By a Pro for Halloween

Karolina Kurkova as Marilyn Manson, Photographed by Steven Meisel. Makeup by Pat McGrath.

Lady Gaga, whose closet seems to closely resemble a costume box, albeit one of couture proportions, has set the bar for transformational, theatrical dressing—makeup and hair included. From gilded masks to black geisha lips and her signature faux doll lashes, Gaga knows how to camouflage. This Halloween, take a cue from the queen of disguise and schedule an appointment with masters in the art of metamorphoses. Whether it’s fluttery, feathery lashes (Shu Uemura), high-concept body paint (Make Up For Ever), out-there hair (Butterfly Studio), full-face fantasy makeup (M.A.C.), or just a lesson in the ultimate cat eye (Sephora), there’s a pro for that. Lady Gaga, consider the gauntlet thrown. --Christina Han
