Hello future Witches, Nurses and Lady Gagas, this is Eleni!
Admit it, you've already started experimenting on your makeup.
Some of you have already decided on your costume, some of you have not, but you all have spent at least 42% more time this week in front of the mirror using the getting ready for Halloween excuse.

Well, we wanna see!

And so does Tarte Cosmetics that had the brilliant idea to create a Halloween Makeup Contest!

the steps are simple:

1 - Take a before picture.
2 - Get your makeup out.
3 - Put it on your face.
4 - Innovate, play and go crazy.
5 - Take an after picture.
6 - Post both pictures.

after you're done, send us the link to your pictures on a comment, we'd love to see what you came up with - and here's the best part...

...after you send us your before and after pictures, we'll do a little contest of our own, the best Meghead submission for Tarte's Halloween Makeup Contest!

Does it smell like double contest to you?
Are you excited?
What are you still doing here?
Run to your mirror!

This sounds so fun! I don't think I'm creative enough though, and I'll probably be working on Halloween :( Maybe I'll play around with a look if I have some free time though!

Melissa, I love that movie. Please post a pic to your profile after you get ready! I still swear that Jessica Alba looks like Jennifer Beals.

Thanks for posting about this! I wish I had better makeup application skills, or some really creative idea. I'll have to think about it for awhile... I might practice with MAC's ideas:http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/album.php?aid=324069&id=16126780553&re...And I'll need a good facepaint kit!

Oh sweet, those looks are so creative! I'm really digging the 3rd one on the first page :) I might try that but my application skills (esp when drawing intricate designs on my FACE) aren't that good haha.
I'm excited to see everyone's submissions :)

Ooh it's always fun to see people do creative things with makeup at Halloween. Sadly I am not one of those people who can work the makeup into a freaky face.

You're right, I've spend much more time trying to get my makeup down for Halloween, than my actual costume. I'm planning on being a devil (not very creative, I know), but I've been working on a multi colored red/orange/gold eye look to go with my costume :)

I LOVE Halloween, and we had been planning on having a big Halloween Masquerade Engagement party, but there's been so much stuff going on lately and I've been so sick that I don't think we're doing anything anymore. :( I might participate in this though, that way I still get to play dress up! I don't have any Tarte products though, I wonder if that'll make a difference...I can't wait to see everyone's looks for it, though!

I usually just hide in my house and eat all the candy by myself (yes I am aware that's selfish). I can't wait to see some pictures from the ladies here.

Tarte will probably choose someone who uses tarte products in the tutorial. Oh well. I do want some of their cheek stains!

Oohh my gosh I wish I could join this! But my costume this year doesn't really go with wild and crazy makeup so I'll leave it to another Meghead to win. I literally spent hours on their facebook page looking at makeup designs..major procrastination tool!

I entered! xD http://www.tartecosmetics.com/before-after-detail.php?contest_entry_id=4... I've always wished I could have been a flapper girl, so I dressed up as one for halloween! The pictures suck, but I really loved my costume.
