What is it about the Disney villains that we love so much? They're the bad guys, but sometimes we feel sympathetic toward them—even going so far as to root for them! You'd be mad if you were conveniently not invited to a baby shower, right? It would sting if your mirror told you what it really thought of you too. Sure, Maleficent and the Evil Queen may have overreacted a little, but who doesn't at some point? We have a trio of Disney villain makeup tutorials for you, so get ready for some Evil Queen, Maleficent, and Ursula makeup tutorials! You don't want to be one of the poor, unfortunate souls who don't use makeup to your advantage with these Disney villain costumes.

Harley's back! One of the best parts about Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey was seeing all of her new outfits.

One of the easiest Harley Quinn outfits to recreate from the new film is her distressed tee and shorts look. If you're looking for a Harley Quinn cosplay that's comfortable, recognizable and a lot of fun, this is the costume for you!

The final season of Game of Thrones is coming, and we're here for it. Many characters have come and gone, people have supported and betrayed one another and characters that are still alive have undergone some pretty immense character growth. One such character is Daenerys Targaryen. Married off against her will by her brother in exchange for an army, she went from an outcast to the confident Mother of Dragons that we know and love, with her own army (and dragons) at her beck and call. It should be no surprise to anyone that many girls and women want to dress like Daenerys for conventions and Halloween. Daenerys's hair keeps changing a little (sometimes a lot) every season, so we're going to show you how to style a wig and do your makeup so that can look like the Breaker of Chains in Season 8 of Game of Thrones.

Anyone who has seen Ridley Scott's 1979 classic Alien is well aware of the famous Chestbuster scene in which an alien life form literally explodes through the chest of officer Kane. The scene is one of the more shocking scenes in the film franchise, not to mention one of the most memorable in the sci-fi genre. While the alien in the scene has such an iconic look to it, it may not be the easiest thing to do in regards to a Halloween costume.

Since those can also be bulky, we've tried out some different makeup effects to get a more practical form of the perfect organism.

Think about mermaids for a moment. Are you picturing a shy-but-friendly woman/fish-hybrid right out of Splash or The Little Mermaid? Or maybe even that string of direct-to-video movies starring Barbie? (Which begs the question: can a doll truly “star” in a movie?) If so, you’re not alone, because these mythical creatures are often portrayed as mysterious but ultimately good at heart. But this hasn’t always been the case! For much of history, “mermaids” were seen as terrifying creatures, having been blamed for luring sailors to their watery deaths or the disappearance of entire ships! Now if that’s the type of scary mermaid you’d like to dress as for Halloween or Cosplay, keep reading to see how we did it! And stick around for tips on what to do (if anything) if you have a broken bone or other injury at Halloween.

Believe it or not, Home Alone came out 25 years ago, and has since become a Holiday classic. The first two films in the franchise are enjoyed by many each holiday season. Seriously, they’re on TV about 3 times a day in December; how can you NOT watch them? While the movie is a Christmas classic, the best parts come from the shock humor of the traps and tricks Kevin McCallister uses...
