Halloween 2015: This Bryce Dallas Howard Drag Makeup Transformation Will Blow Your Mind

Really. It's one of the oldest drag makeup tricks in the book. It keeps brows super-flat, so you can cover them with concealer and redraw on the shape. If your Halloween costume calls for a look where you need to paint over your brows, this honestly works better than any brow gel out there. But a quick word to the wise: It has to be an Elmer's Glue Stick. Other brands are too sticky or dry.

Makeup Secret #4: Taupe Liner Will Make Your Lips Look Even Bigger

Pinks, reds, and plums work great for getting precise lip color, but if you're aiming to make your lips look fuller—whether that's because you're dressing up as a Kardashian or you just want your lips to be more defined in general—reach for taupe liner or a soft brown-pink pencil, like Dolce & Gabbana Precision Lipliner in Cashmere. Then following the same principle behind cheek contouring, you want to trace the liner just beneath the natural line of your bottom lip to create a slight shadow. It'll give the illusion that they're plumper. Add a little highlighter to your cupid's bow and sheer gloss to middle of your lips to really define the shape.
