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.

Most of them don't require you to buy a costume, just get creative with makeup and the clothes in your closet!
