THROWBACK THURSDAYS: SWA Ghosts of Halloween Past
October 25, 2012 11:04 AM
Halloween is our kinda holiday! And, let's be honest, who does the scary night better than makeup artists?! For today's Throwback Thursdays, our beauty crew submits pics from Halloweens past. Enjoy. And, please, try at home.
(PICTURED ABOVE) This is the makeup I did for Hamish Bowles as the late Cabaret star, Marlene Dietrich, last Halloween. Transforming Hamish to channel icon Marlene Dietrich was a lot of fun. However, trying to catch him a cab after when the first blizzard fell on New York City was not.
- Nina Park for Starworks Artists

I did my sister Ashley's make up, my husband's make up (picutred with me) and my own make up. Our inspiration was "The Haunted Mansion" at Disneyland. We all wanted to look like dead people from the past. Its amazing what a little make up and hair can do!
- Jenn Streicher for Starworks Artists (Also pictured at top)

In 2011 I was lucky enough to work on the amazing foster kids from an organization called Kids Save International. He wanted the Incredible Hulk and I didn’t know what I was doing but he liked it!
- Amy Nadine for Starworks Artists

Two years ago, for Halloween, I dressed up as the Queen of Hearts. I was inspired by the Tim Burton movie Alice in Wonderland. I thought that the Queen had such fun makeup in the movie and I wanted to try to duplicate it on myself! I went to a Halloween party that weekend and I had such a blast saying "Off with their heads!" I met a couple of Mad Hatters at that party too. Lol
- Mai Quynh for Starworks Artists

This is the look I created for Kelly Wearstler for Halloween in 2011. The costume was inspired by corpse bride but with a modern twist: top-hat, pearls, etc. I wanted her to look scary in a really cool, sexy way! I used a pale foundation to wash out the natural skin color and created "eye-sockets" as you would see on a skeleton skull, using a combination of black cream and powder eyeshadows. I added big false lashes for the sexiness. And of course, black lips completed the look.
- Kristee Liu for Starworks Artists

I wish Día de los Muertos was in May… or maybe even June. And while a monster mouth is appropriate all year long, I find it particularly fun as a Spring/Summer look. It says, "Hey, just because the sun is shining doesn't mean my inner goth has to stay hidden." As demonstrated by my frequent accomplice Beck, just add some pretty Chanel eyeshadow and you have a Tim Burton couture look!
- Robin Black for Starworks Artists

Brittany Snow looked amazing at the Pitch Perfect premiere this week, as evidenced by these pics captured by her makeup artist Amy Nadine for Starworks Artists. Mara Roszak for Starworks Artistst was also on call for hair and created this modern updo that turns into a braided bun in the back. Gorge!
North Carolina band, Delta Rae, snapped a shot with Conan O'Brien before hitting his late-night stage for the second time. Click here to check out their fiery performance. Aviva for Starworks Artists did the entire band's hair and grooming. We imagine she's resting somewhere just off camera.
We're obsessed with all the party photos getting posted from Emmy weekend. It's great to see all the comedy girls are friends in real life! Here's New Girl's Zooey Deschanel and The Mindy Project's Mindy Kaling celebrating after the big night. Wonder if they exchanged any hair tips…Kaling and Deschanel's hair looks were achieved by Luke Chamberlain and Mara Roszak for Starworks Artists, respectively.
Modern Family star Ariel Winter doesn't let an Emmy win slow her down. Here she is getting glam before her KTLA interview earlier today. What were you doing when you were 14? There's Aviva for Starworks Artists in the back making sure all of Winter's locks have the perfect curl.

This week's Beauty is Boring post had us doing a double take. That's because makeup artist Robin Black for Starworks Artists chose Kelly Tomlinson, an agent here in the Starworks office, as her model and muse. Who knew we had a 1940's pin-up model sitting just a couple desks away?!
Happy Birthday to Kate Lee for Starworks Arists!!! Minnie Mouse ears and Cha-Cha heels?! Night well spent, indeed.
California clothing label, Band of Outsiders, posted this pic from an upcoming ad campaign asking their followers to guess the celebrity model. We'd be down to throw a few names in the basket...if we weren't already privy to the masked star's identity. Be sure to check back in after the ad drops for details on the shoot's beauty look.
Sound advice from styling duo Emily Current and Meritt Elliott for Starworks Artists. Must remember next time we have the option.
