Masquerade Mask Makeup by MakeupbyAlli
When you can't find a mask, why not just draw one yourself? This look by beauty blogger Allison Ellis includes a step-by-step tutorial on how to draw a lacy and elegant mask on your eye area. Here, Alli used drugstore products like Maybelline Eyestudio Master Precise All Day Liquid Eyeliner Makeup, $7.99, to draw in the mask.

Clown Makeup by Christen Dominique
There are so many ways to do clown makeup, so why not put your own spin on it? Christen Dominique, founder of Dominique Cosmetics, combined a minimialist clown look with a 90s gangster aesthetic (from the teardrop tattoo, right down to the plaid shirt). Use an intense black eyeliner like theBalm Schwing Black Liquid Eyeliner, $17, to draw in the marks on the eye area — and make sure to top it off with some brown lip liner.
