Glittered Smoke No crazy makeup story would be complete without Lady Gaga, who managed to look somewhat normal in this photo (except for the giant lightning-like thingamajig on her head). While taking the time to put this much glitter on an extreme smoky eye is arguably insane, it would be fantastic for oh, a clubbing situation sometime in the near future. Try what she does here -- matching the glitter to your eyeshadow, and going for a neutral color like charcoal gray or navy blue -- for the most wearable effect. (Try NYX Single Eyeshadow in Deep Space, $5.99.)

I like number 9 for the most part...her eyelashes are way too clumpy though.
