Our prediction for this year's most popular costumes:
In American culture, October is synonymous with Halloween. As soon as October 1st hits (or maybe before, if you're overly excited about dressing up), a buzz surrounding what costume to wear, and which wig, hairstyle or what type of makeup will best support that chosen character starts to build. However, some of us might not want to sport a full-on costume or has time to, right? Or perhaps leading up to this holiday, we feel compelled to wear some Halloween-inspired hair or makeup looks around town or maybe even to the office to get into the festive mood.
Because of this fact we've done a little roundup of some celebrity-inspired hair, makeup and nail trends that can pass for being somewhat Halloween-y. We've got everything from "Like a Virgin" hair accessories to hair color reminiscent of the '90s to Geisha and Smurfette-inspired lips and so much more.
