"Okay, I *love* Halloween and usually spend weeks making my own costumes. Last year, I made a dinosaur costume with foam cones and a sweatshirt. And the year before that, I covered myself in fake tats and pulled off a pretty convincing Amy Winehouse (RIP, lady). But this year, I cannot get my shit together. (I blame midterms.) So, instead of stressing about a costume, I hunted down two makeup looks that I could pull off quickly and pair with stuff already in my closet for a no-fuss, yet totally-awesome Halloween look.\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8d09f50778cef321a62a6]|||||| TRY IT: BARBIE   \\nSo I will use *any* excuse I can find to wear my pink wedge sneakers. And the perfect excuse is, duh, dressing up as my former fave doll--and following Michelle Phan's [Barbie Makeup Tutorial](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4-GRH2nDvw). Plus, this costume is super easy to fake. How? Push-up bra plus a sundress equals Malibu Barbie. Push-up bra plus PJs equals Sleepover Barbie. Push-up bra plus yoga clothes equals Fitness Barbie. You get the drift.\\n\\n+++inset-image-left\\n\\n[#image: /photos/57d8d0a0f71ce8751f6b65b4]||||||\\n\\n+++\\n\\n  \\n*Courtesy of flickr user [Sally Kattan](http://www.flickr.com/photos/67893655@N07/)*\\n\\n__TRY IT: BETTY BOOP__ This. Is. Genius. Not only is this actually a legit way to be slutty (not my thing, but no judgement if it's yours...that's why Ricky's does so well in NYC), it's also insanely unique. Kandee Johnson, one of my fave YouTube makeup artists, does a six minute video about getting the cartoon babe's makeup. You may want to skip the first thirty seconds though. I love her, but the Betty Boop impression is painful at best.
