New York Fashion Week is known for serving up consistently cool hair, makeup, mani, and (obviously) style inspiration. And, believe it or not, it's also a prime source for Halloween costume inspiration.
Sure, many of the season's most out-there, artistic, and just-plain-bonkers beauty looks might not translate to everyday life. But when it comes to October 31st, they could be your ticket to a seriously cool and on-trend beauty look. This past week, the ideas ran the gamut from social media and pop culture to politics and play dolls — offering something for just about everyone. (And did we mention these were hand-drawn by some of the best artists in the business?)
Click through our roundup of the coolest show looks, then let us know which one you'll be gathering inspiration from this All Hallow's Eve.

Snapchat Filter
Social media references are Halloween gold, and Desigual recreated six Snap-inspired looks IRL that are perfect for the holiday. Possibly the most recognizable: The ever-popular puppy lens that’s equal parts cute, hilarious, and flattering. (You can find the rest of your filter options here.)

The Future
Adorned with silver metallic nails, one badass hand cuff, and high-beam skin, this futuristic look from The Blonds show will make you a modern-day Jetson (who wears vintage jean jackets, natch).

Flower Child
Nothing is more whimsical than adding petals to your skin, like the makeup artists did at Rosie Assoulin. It's next-level highlighting, if you ask us.

Virgin Galactic Flight Attendant
Pair cotton-candy-blue lipstick with orange-tinged skin and a retro suit and you'll match Thom Browne’s psychedelic show. His inspiration was '60s sunbathers, but we like to think of it as a space-age flight attendant — who clearly got too close to the sun.

80’s Club Girl
If we had to choose our favorite #tbt moment, it’d be the electric-bright eye shadows and bowl-cut ‘dos at Jeremy Scott. Just looking at this confirms it's going to be a fun night.
