Karolina Kurkova as Marilyn Manson, Photographed by Steven Meisel. Makeup by Pat McGrath.Lady Gaga, whose closet seems to closely resemble a costume box, albeit one of couture proportions, has set the bar for transformational, theatrical dressing-makeup and hair included. From gilded masks to black geisha lips and her signature faux doll lashes, Gaga knows how to camouflage. This Halloween, take a cue from the queen of disguise and schedule an appointment with masters in the art of metamorphoses. Whether it's fluttery, feathery lashes (Shu Uemura), high-concept body paint (Make Up For Ever), out-there hair (Butterfly Studio), full-face fantasy makeup (M.A.C.), or just a lesson in the ultimate cat eye (Sephora), there's a pro for that. Lady Gaga, consider the gauntlet thrown. --Christina Han
