Halloween Costumes: 6 Halloween Makeup Ideas, Straight From The Runways

"Marcia Brady on acid," "'80s girls dressed up as '60s girls" — if these sound like Halloween costumes, Halloween makeup ideas to you, think again: They're actually inspirations for some of the top designer shows last week. Backstage, hairstylists and makeup artists created graphic, over-the-top looks that we'd normally leave on the runways. But this year, we are adopting them for the 31st.

Whether you like a spookier costume or something girlier, there’s definitely something here for everyone. The best part? You can create most of them with just hair and makeup (no overpriced polyester required). Click through to be seriously inspired, and get ready to be the most high-fashion guest at your Halloween party.

Demented Marcia Brady 

That's right, the look at Ammerman Schlösberg was inspired by "Marcia Brady taking a lot of acid on Halloween." (We couldn't make this stuff up.) To recreate it, sweep lime-colored eyeshadow (try ColourPop's Sour) from your lashline to your browbone. Then, rim your undereyes with a heavy coat of purple eyeliner (like Stila's Smudge Stick in Violet).

You're not done yet. To mimic the post-cry effect, dip a cotton swab in Vaseline and smudge the purple eyeliner under your eyes and down your cheeks. (Gold star if you add tears with eye drops.) Since looking disheveled is your end game, it won't matter if your makeup smudges or fades throughout the night. 

Flower Power

Betsey Johnson's spring 2016 show celebrated her 50 years in fashion, and we especially love this psychedelic pit-stop. Simply grab a palette of multicolored face paint and draw a rainbow from the inner corners of your eyes to your temples, allowing plenty of time for each half-inch stripe to dry fully. If you don't have a floral dress, wear an all-black outfit and you're Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" prismatic album cover.

'60s Barbie 

Kabuki, the lead makeup artist at Jeremy Scott's spring 2016 show, was inspired by "East Village party girls of the '80s who love playing dress-up in '60s vintage." To achieve the wild liner shape, he hand-cut plastic eye stencils, filled them in with MAC's Fluidline in Blacktrack, and set it with On the Hunt Superslick Liquid Eye Liner.

He paired the liner with neon-peach lips (a mixture of MAC's Lipmix in Orange, White, and Medium Nude) with this halloween makeup ideas. Once you've got the makeup look down, grab a voluminous blonde wig, tease it to oblivion, and get ready to turn some heads.

Halloween makeup ideas: The Anti-Contour

The effed-up contouring look at Hood by Air was a poignant commentary on our era's seeming obsession with surgery and self-alteration. Taken less seriously, it's the perfect costume if you love a pop culture reference, seeing as how contouring was everywhere this year.

Reach for a highlighting concealer that's a few shades lighter than your natural skin tone and haphazardly smear it all over your face. Then, sweep a cream contour shade (like the ones in Anastasia's Contour Cream Kit) on the hollows of your cheeks, temples, and sides of your nose. Fight off the urge to blend, blend, blend.

Good halloween costume ideas : Disco Queen

If there's one thing we can count on every season, it's that The Blonds will have a show-stopping beauty look — and this year was no exception. Kabuki set out to "[capture] the feeling of ancient Egypt set to a disco beat, by using lots of gold-on-gold tones and shimmers." 

To achieve this, Kabuki glued metallic-gold appliqués just below the lower lashlines. (Try striping tape or Make Up For Ever's Aqua Liner in Diamond Gold for an easier DIY.) He finished with a layer of gold lipstick (we love Nyx's Wicked Lippie in Mischievous). 

Funny halloween costume ideas: Runway Rabbit

It may look complicated, but black eyeliner, white face paint, two ribbons, and some wire from your local craft store are all you need to recreate this bizarre beauty look. Makeup artist Sil Bruinsma blended white MAC Studio Face and Body Foundation all over the face before sculpting the brows, eyes, and lips with MAC's Blacktrack Fluidline.

According to hairstylist Jimmy Paul, the hair was meant to make the girls "look like they're upside-down." Paul misted Bumble and bumble's Thickening Hairspray into the roots, teasing the hair as he worked. Then, he created two braided pigtails at the top of each model's head, stringing wire through each braid to make the hair stand up on its own. To put the finishing touches on the "school-girl hair" (which sure looks like bunny ears to us), Paul fastened the end of each braid with a hair elastic and a Thom Browne red-white-and-blue ribbon. 'Merica.

Share some conversation with this chilling chap!

Seat a spine-tingling guest on the couch to greet new arrivals to the party! A bowler hat and bloody white rose attached to his ribs give him his funeral-chic party attire. Place a frightening feline companion nearby to tickle the funny bone of onlookers.

Skulls rest (in peace) on the mantel

Create a marvelously macabre mantel with a row of skulls on display. Give the scene an even more sinister atmosphere with a "bloody" candelabra, cobwebs and creep-tastic vintage portraits. A raven peeking out of the shadows will chill your (living) guests to the bone!

The walls have eyes!

Replace artwork with spooky portraits and statues for an ominous atmosphere. Make guests feel like they're being watched with a variety of spooky "portrait" scene setters showing people who are better off dead. A serene Medusa bust glows green and bursts into shrieks when unsuspecting guests walk by – talk about stone-cold scary!

Create a haunting hearth with a pile of skulls!

Give the fireplace a graveyard feel with a stack of skulls and cemetery fences. Pile skulls in different sizes by the grate as a decaying bundle of kindling. A glow-in-the-dark skull among his friends will give guests a spooky surprise should the lights “mysteriously” go out!

Throw a to-die-for gothic dinner party!

Be the spirit guide to a gathering of skeletons, spooks and things that go bump in the night! Skeletal gents like this one make the atmosphere for your dining room along with candles as mood lighting, a centerpiece of skulls and a dapper dinner guest – he’s been waiting a long time for dinner to be served!

These two are the "life" of the party!

Seat a couple skeletal sweethearts at the table to get the rest of your party ghosts talking. This dearly departed couple is dressed to impress in their "haunt" couture consisting of a top hat and bow tie for the gent, and a hair bow for the lady – they wouldn’t be caught alive in anything else!

Tickle their funny bone with "shots" in the arm!

Your ghoul-friends will shriek with delight when they snatch a drink from this festively freaky barware. Add a scattering of bones and skulls around the arm to make it seem like this skeleton server was dismantled before the party started!

A grim gathering place for reapers

Hang these grinning ghouls from the chandelier to keep guests on edge! These graveyard creepers will loom eerily over the party, watching all who pass under. Now that's some creepy mood lighting!

These pets have gathered for a bare-bones menagerie

“Stay” was the last command Spot ever learned. Spook your guests with a puppy skeleton that’s so cute it’s creepy. Make her the focal point of a bony vignette beside a skull, a starved spider, snakes and a cat that finally caught the rat—it was the last thing he did!

A disturbing skull pile teeming with rats and snakes!

Make a pile of skulls in a corner and it's the perfect hideout for hairy rats and slithery snakes. Up the eek! with a black crow perched on the top. Spread cobwebs and bloody boards on the wall behind it for a super-creepy scene!

Dogs, rats and snakes make afetching vignette

The dog has a bone to pick with the rat! Set up a couple skeletons chewing on a snake beside a knocked-over chair and cobwebs to make the scene look daringly disheveled. Place rats and owls on the fringes, because no haunted house is complete without scavengers – they think it’s a hoot!

Every haunted mansion needs a huuuuuge spider!

Grand-Daddy Long Legs is watching! Make this spider skeleton a web by hanging bloody boards on a window and spreading out cobwebs. For a more bone-chilling look, add a few small spiders around the webs and a rat on the window.

Mason jars + crawly creatures = spooky specimen jars!

To make this macabre scene, prepare yellow gelatin in a few Mason jars. Once set, cut a slit in the top of the gelatin to insert a glow stick and a critter of your choice – we used spiders, rats and scorpions. Add some black gauze and a skeleton crow and your sickly specimen jars will really creep out your visitors. Oooooh!

Use a stylized skull for the mantel-altar!

Raise their spirits with a glamorous skull! Roses, candles and glitter make a fine faux dead image, so use this skull in front of red cut paper and put flameless tea lights on either side. Spruce it up with marigolds and a mini skull to make it extra bone-ita!

There's nothing bare-bones about this mantel!

The departed have arrived! Go all out with chic decorations like paper fans, paper garland (with added skeletons!) and a large Dia de los Muertos sign in the middle. Flameless tea lights, skulls and candy add details that will raise their party spirits!

A sombrero and bow-tie give this skeleton a romantic look!

Don't forget about the gents! Add a skeleton with Latin spirit by dressing him up in a Day of the Dead senor costume, and put a flower in his teeth. Hang a gauzy chandelier nearby for a little extra spirit. It looks as though he's about to cha-cha over to his lady!

Black lace, bold colors and flowers – this skeleton is quite the fashionista with this Halloween Decoration Ideas

This gorgeous senorita is decked out for Dia de los Muertos! She's easy to create using a posable skeleton and a skeleton and flower costume, and behind her hang a black tulle curtain over any nearby windows to carry the colors through the decor. She puts the afterlife into the party!

Create miniature altar-like arrangements!

Round out the ghoulishly delightful decor with clusters of skulls. Scatter wooden crates with skulls, tea lights and marigolds as accent pieces around the mantel and altar. How defrightful!
