People have been excited about seeing Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland since the images of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter hit the internet last year.  And while Tim Burton is a genius, let’s not forget the makeup department (20+ people) for making his visions come to life.

You might not want to walk out of your house with The Red Queen’s eyebrows but steal her precious pout or other choice looks from the whimsical cast and you'll surely be touted as a (beauty) queen yourself!

* Mad Hatter - Part insane, part heroin chic.  To achieve a wearable version of his crazy eyes, try Urban Decay’s Matte Eyeshadow in Cult ($17), a deeply pigmented matte purple, or NYX 3 Color Eyeshadow Trio #6 ($5).

* White Queen - A strong brow can actually be very stunning when you have the right tools.  Try Tarte’s EmphasEYES for Brows ($19) for everyday and Anastasia’s Brow Ex-Press ($38), complete with stencils for a stand-out look.

* Red Queen - The Red Queen is known for, what else, her red lips (although that eyeshadow’s pretty fierce).  MAC’s Ruby Woo Lipstick ($14) is a classic with a bluer undertone while NARS Lipstick in Fire Down Below ($24) will give you more of a blood-stained look.

* Alice - Every heroine has great hair and Alice’s is long, blonde, and curly.  To get the look, wrap about an inch-worth of hair around a 1” curling iron, like Bed Head 1" Styling Iron ($25), and hold for 20 - 30 seconds. Repeat over entire head and spray with a fine mist hairspray, like Ulta’s Ultimate Finish Natural Hold Hairspray ($9).  See this YouTube video for more tips.

*Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum - Possibly not the picture of beauty but one must always focus on the positive - they have great skin.  Check out Revlon’s Photo Ready Makeup SPF 20 ($14) and Stila One Step Foundation ($44) for full coverage.

Sometimes there’s just nothing you can do - the chemistry is so overwhelming and the dude is so cute and your privates happen to be freshly shaved. You’ve had one or five too many drinks and whoops, the next thing you know you’re missing a contact lens, your debit card, and your dignity.

Never fear: the Too Faced Walk of Shame Kit ($38) is here for us sluts. It includes a compact with two eyeshadows and a blush, eyeshadow base, makeup primer, lipstick, a travel toothbrush, mints, and a satin clutch to carry it in. Throw a couple ibuprofen in there, grab a bottle of Gatorade, and you’ll be all set to spend the next day contemplating your Catholic guilt and the trajactory of your life.

While you might not be able to look yourself in the mirror morally, at least you’ll be presentable for the walk or $30 cab ride back to your apartment.

Cyndia Lauper and Lady Gaga: How much more glam can you get? Both superstars were on Good Morning America today to talk about their participation as the new faces of MAC's Viva Glam campaign, which directly benefits the MAC HIV/AIDS fund that supports men, women and children living with HIV and AIDS.

The two lipstick shades are limited edition and named after Lauper and Gaga. They retail for $14, with all proceeds benefiting the fund, which seeks to increase awareness of women living with AIDS and its prevention.

Who better to speak to the cause than these two classy ladies? Check out the video.

In case you haven't heard, American Apparel recently pulled their 18-color nail polish collection from their shelves due to "quality issues with their glassware." Bad news from them, good news for you. If you purchased one of the original bottles, you can return it to the store for two bottles of the new polish or get a gift certificate for $10.

When AA launched the collection at the end of 2009, I begrudgingly rolled my eyes, mostly because that hideous font reminds me LA Looks gel. Although I’m sure it’s some kind of socioeconomic commentary on post-modern America and living in California (or something). Looking passed that, the colors are actually pretty and only $6 a pop.  Office is a lovely update to last season’s popular Chanel Jade and Downtown LA is the perfect red staple. And though there are problems with the old shipments, it's worth noting that 6 new colors will be available come Spring.

One might say that the hair and makeup at Chanel is usually the epitome of elegance and sophistication.  But the Spring 2010 details might have Coco spinning in her grave. The pretty hair and makeup were in tow but the models were also rocking some serious ink.  Not real ink though - temporary tattoos featuring chains, rosary beads, lace, and Chanel’s iconic double Cs.  Come March 1, the designs will be available to the masses: $78 for 55 individual tattoos - chump change for Chanel, almost a full phone bill for the rest of us.

Maybe I’m the minority here but I absolutely love them.  They’re like the temporary tattoo I always wanted, putting my quarter in the toy machine on the way out of the grocery store as a kid, always winding up with a crappy dragon or a stupid dolphin.  But maybe I’m just biased because personally, I am Tina Turner and Chanel is my Ike.

So…are these awesome or ridiculous?
