Edward Gorey Halloween Spectacular
Shien Lee is a master of disguise.

This Halloween is especially huge for Lee, as she prepares for an Edward Gorey Halloween Brunch Spectacular at the Highline Ballroom followed by a Rocky Horror Picture Show tribute at Le Poison Rouge. Here, the 25-year-old reveler talks about her penchant for maquillage born from another era (Weimar Berlin, to be exact), where to find rhinestone-studded lashes, and how to really keep your lipstick from moving (two words: hair spray).
