Got a Halloween party this week? Just quietly... in one of my procrastination-induced web-surfing stints the other day, I came across a series of Halloween looks, all modelled by the <a href="http://www.tartecosmetics.com/halloween-2009/" target="_blank">Tarte Cosmetics</a> team. And now I'm convinced—at least half the costume comes down to wearing the right (read: dramatic) makeup.

Above, we have Tarte's gorgeous CEO-turned-Flapper Girl Maureen Kelly, who—just as an aside—has the most fascinating story of how she built her brand from nothing but a great idea and thousands in credit card debt. (I watched a documentary about her in the summer, which I must track down online one of these days for you guys to check out.)

But back to Halloween—hopefully these pics will get the creative juices flowing! Check out the links below to watch Tarte's awesome how-to videos on how to recreate them (you can see the <a href="http://www.tartecosmetics.com/halloween-2009/halloween-2009-maureen.php">Flapper how-to video here</a>).
