Pop Art Halloween: 9 Surreal Makeup Masterpieces
Although the peak years for pop art and its creative pioneers are seemingly in the past, the art form lives forever. And with Halloween fast approaching, there’s no better way to express your artistry and highlight your features than to transform yourself into a living masterpiece. Makeup artists through the years have taken cues from the works of Robert Rauschenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, and Andy Warhol, morphing themselves into comic-like caricatures. With colorful cosmetics, these pros have demonstrated that the possibilities of the pop art movement are truly endless.
From overdrawn lips and extreme contours, to full face-painting and bubbled tears, here are nine pop art makeup tutorials to help you get creative this Oct. 31.
Sculpted features
YouTubers Destiny Godley and makeup artist/hairstylist Argenis Pinal rock strong brows and chiseled cheekbones for their surreal looks.

Makeup gurus Wesley Carter and Emma Pickles add in vibrant dots for a page-popping contrast.

Two-faced
