This is a fun costume for a group of girls. You can each pick your favorite Kardashian and personalize your look to theirs (a baby bump for Kourtney, a Lakers jersey for Khloe, for example). The ladies do have some signature looks in common though:
Their makeup: Attention-getting eyes are a must! Try a smoky eye, or go for a silver shimmery look (like the one Kim did at the Emmy Awards, see that how-to here), but no matter what, you'll need false eyelashes or a ton of mascara. Finish the look with high-shine nude gloss, and if you don't already have the Kardashian's olive skin tone, apply bronzer (like Physicians Formula Summer Eclipse Bronzing & Shimmery Face Powder, $12.89) to warm up your skin.

The "Gossip Girl" Cast
Another fun costume for a group of girls. Check out past episodes for clothing inspiration, and try these tips to complete the looks:
For Blake Lively/Serena van der Woodsen: Use a golden-toned bronzer to get Lively's glow and use bronze and neutral shades on your eyes and lips. You'll also need perfectly tousled hair to pull off this costume, so check out this how-to for details.
For Leighton Meester/Blair Waldorf: Try going for a doll-like makeup look. Use pale, shimmery eyeshadow and false lashes (or lots of mascara) to emphasize your eyes. Blend cream blush (like Nars Cream Blush, $25) on the apples of your cheeks, and finish with a berry stain on your lips (Karsten recommends MAC LipGelee in Moistly, $14). And don't forget to wear a headband!
For Taylor Momsen/Jenny Humphrey: Taylor's character has gone for a darker look lately, so use a dark lipstick or gloss and go for a smoky eye. If you want to try out her recent hair extensions look, check out this how-to or pick up a long platinum wig.
