Disco will never die. Get psychedelic with these makeup tips:
Get the look: Jennings says the disco girl is a "pumped up version of the hippie, with [double the false lashes]: one pair for the top, and a pair for the bottom." Use a white eye pencil in the waterline, then mix silver and gold pigments together "to create a super disco ball eye lid that will reflect all light," says Jennings. Apply a peach cream blush on the apples of the cheeks (try Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Blush in Pinky Nude, $25, then highlight the face and cheekbone with a pearl cream based shadow.

There are certain go-to Halloween makeup and costume ideas that we like to call "no fails." They are the tried and true, albeit boring, costumes you can throw together in a flash. These said Halloween costumes usually come out of a pre-packaged bag and contain fairy wings, a witch hat, kitty ears, or fangs and never win you any "Best Costume" awards. They also lack the wow-factor your Trick-or-Treaters hope to see when they arrive at your door. So this Halloween, it's time to spice up more than just your apple cider.
The following Halloween costume and makeup ideas we've dug up for you are bound to do the trick. They are fun, fresh and more importantly will fool your neighbors and friends into thinking you've been planning your costume all year long. Each idea comes with a how-to guide for your makeup, hair and outfit, so you can finally look like you didn't run to the Halloween costume store the night of the 30th frantically picking through half-opened costume bags (there's a first for everything!).
And if you do happen to get to the Lindsay Lohan costume idea (spoiler alert), and think "I'm so sick of her" (as are we), we've got tips on how to jazz up age-old no-fail costumes, with makeup tips from MAC Senior Makeup Artist Romero Jennings. His two rules for Halloween costumes are: "You want people to know who you are without telling them," and "you don't want to look like yourself with a bad wig on."
Jennings also recommends taking a picture of your finished makeup look before walking out the door so you can see how you'll look in all the pictures that will invariably come back to haunt you.
So go ahead and check out the 11 new Halloween makeup and costume ideas -- you might just die over them � moohahaha. C'mon, it's Halloween, give us a break. We couldn't help ourselves.
