Step 8: Fill in your brows with a dark gel, (we used Sharon-Lee Brow Gel, $70), making sure to shape them so that they look thick.

Step 9: Blend a dusty rose blush, like GloMinerals gloBlush, $26, in rosebud, onto the apples of your cheeks.

Step 10: Dip a flat concealer brush (we used one from the Five Piece Flawless Face Set by EcoTools, $14.99) into concealer and use it to outline around your lips, then blend to keep it looking natural. This will make your lips look bigger. Use a fluffy brush to lightly buff a finishing powder over your face to set your makeup.

Step 12: Prep hair by misting a heat protectant spray, like TRESemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray, $4.23, onto dry hair. Then using a double barrel curling wand, clamp a 2-inch section of your hair at the root. Hold it clamped for a few seconds, then release and continue clamping and holding down the length of your hair.

Full disclosure: I've wanted to recreate the look of Game of Thrones' Daenerys for a while now (and not just around Halloween-time). Her makeup is soft and natural, and do not even get me started on how awesome her hair is, even when it's dirty and messy from trekking through the plains of Essos. So when we decided to give our editorial assistant Emily a GoT-style makeover for Halloween, I geeked out -- a lot. Not only is Dany a total badass and gorgeous to boot -- she's also got dragons. And while we couldn't quite hatch our own from petrified eggs like she does, we could order a mini one from Amazon. Channel the Mother of Dragons' fiery nature with our step-by-step guide and make your claim to the Iron Throne.
