13 Crazy Makeup Looks to Try Before You Die

If these high-profile celebrities can take a risk with these bold-yet-beautiful looks, so can you

Ultra-nude Lips While many people have tried the nude-lip trend, not many go truly nude like Drew Barrymore does here. (To get this erased lip look, try a nude lip gloss like Bare Escentuals 100% Natural Lip Gloss in Chiffon, $15.) Since your lips are basically blending into your face, this can look a little freaky if you don't make your eyes or cheeks stand out. While you can't go wrong with a heavy smoky eye, Drew tried an unconventional white eyeliner and bright cheek color instead. The result? Less crazy, more pretty and retro.

I like number 9 for the most part...her eyelashes are way too clumpy though.

I've done most of these looks at one point in my life, hahaha. Don't like the red eyes, looks dumb!

YAY!!! crazy makeup!!! why not?! I wouldn't do something like this for 2nd period American History, but why not on the weekend to walmart? I've seen so many crazy hairstyles, outfits, and makeup there. I'll give it a try myself

Katy has beautiful eyes.

Crazy makeup? Umm... no thank you! I'll leave it to the adventurous people to try this one out for themselves.

Love the red and fushia lips idea ^_^

The extreme cat eye is a look I want to practice.

Some very interesting looks. I am genetically gifted with bold brows naturally so I am sooo glad that look is back in!

by powerwoman033 Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 08:23PM Report as inappropriate

I've actually been trying these my favorite is the white eyeliner on bottom! great trick!

by Alisunshine Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 12:05PM Report as inappropriate

a lot of these are just too crazy for me! guess i'm not that daring...but i do like the vamp/pin-up girl looks and a bold red lip a la gwen isn't too crazy!

wish I knew what foundation etc, they used. They all seem to have flawless skin.

I hate Drew Barrymore's look..but I love Kourtney's and Rihanna's..oh and Gwen's! Cute but also wearable.

Drew Barrymore looks TERRIBLE!!!! ugh! nasty

I only like the last one

by janellelora Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 01:34AM Report as inappropriate

They're all interesting except Drew Barrymore's. She looks like she just had the flu or something! Yuck!

by sonia_silveroli Friday, September 2, 2011 at 08:17PM Report as inappropriate

I don't know if i'd be daring enough to try these but they are all cool!

Very fun looks!

xtina looks x1000 better

by sunkissedx0 Thursday, June 30, 2011 at 12:09PM Report as inappropriate

I like the black and white eyeliner, the faux lashes not so much.

by RoleModel Monday, June 13, 2011 at 12:50AM Report as inappropriate

I really love Gwen and Rihanna's look.. not too dramatic, just enough

by awan0912 Saturday, June 11, 2011 at 10:13PM Report as inappropriate

I love it, really fun looks!

by BellezzaBeauty Saturday, June 11, 2011 at 07:17AM Report as inappropriate

Clockwork orange lashes look really cool on Agyness!

while i go crazy with my eye makeup (crazy cat's eye + electric eye color), i'm pretty subdued with my lip color.... i think i'll be trying the fire engine red sometime soon, maybe even the neon color too :D

by tokyonista Friday, June 10, 2011 at 06:07PM Report as inappropriate

Beautiful, but the bold make-up looks make me feel self conscious. If I am going out on a special occasion I want to be at my highest comfort level so I can enjoy. It is fun to check these gorgeous looks out. I especially love Napoleon Perdis' runway look (he's giving a master class in LA this week-end)!

the glittered smoke eye makeup look is so gorgeous, i hope the glitter doesn't fly everywhere when i attempt this... but it probably would

by SShum Friday, June 10, 2011 at 03:25PM Report as inappropriate

I will be trying some of those looks, but I think some of them are a little too crazy! I might scare the children, lol.

by MissPurple Friday, June 10, 2011 at 11:47AM Report as inappropriate

Camillas brows and Kourtneys eye liner were awesome.

by gaej19 Friday, June 10, 2011 at 10:13AM Report as inappropriate

I would wear some of those..:/ they're not that extreme..

by eleni_papageorgiou Friday, June 10, 2011 at 08:51AM Report as inappropriate

The red lined eyes looks really cool. I also live the black and white eyes and the electric colored eyes. The others look cool too but I would so screw it up if I tried to do it myself.

by msbrown822 Friday, June 10, 2011 at 07:24AM Report as inappropriate

These looks are really fun. I really want to try a pinup look!

by LipglossandSpandex Sunday, April 17, 2011 at 07:13PM Report as inappropriate

this looks awesome!

by yckitsmary Saturday, April 9, 2011 at 09:42PM Report as inappropriate

Kardashian's makeup was the best

by ArmenianGal Thursday, March 17, 2011 at 12:28AM Report as inappropriate

I love the bold brows, Drew's super-nude lips, Christina's super-bright lips and Ditas pin-up makeup. These looks stand out from the crowd!

by RoleModel Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 11:07PM Report as inappropriate

I love the black and white!

by Kirtastrophe Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 07:49PM Report as inappropriate

Really really like Rihanna and her eclectic eye makeup!

by selma Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 09:21AM Report as inappropriate

I have really wanted to try the dark, dramatic eye look and the crazy eyelashes. But not bold enough, and I don't go clubbing anymore...but if I did!

by rozbie Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 07:48AM Report as inappropriate

Some of these looks are great for Halloween.

by Isis04 Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 07:02AM Report as inappropriate

What fun. I have tried most, and will probably do some again. I especially like the pale skin, red lips.

by Agrimony Friday, February 25, 2011 at 02:46PM Report as inappropriate

I think the electric eyes are quite pretty but the goth one is soooo not goth!

by judyangel101 Sunday, February 20, 2011 at 02:51PM Report as inappropriate

I have to say I like all these except the red eyes and snow white all the others I'm totally into

by Bon_Bon Thursday, February 17, 2011 at 07:18PM Report as inappropriate

I am going to do some GAga looks before I die!

by gradybrd Saturday, September 4, 2010 at 10:03PM Report as inappropriate

The Neon Fuchsia Lips are definitely interesting. I'd have to be in a super daring mood to pull that off though.
