Don't wear make-up on a night you're just hitting up house parties. It will melt in the heat of packed apartments in West Hollywood. Also it makes eating difficult, and when your hosts have over twelve feet of party subs, they were depending on you to pitch in.
On a completely unrelated note...
SOCIAL CONTRACT: If you're throwing a crowded house party, and do not have air conditioning, you are contractually obliged to open all the windows. Your guests did not come to bake alive in their lobster costumes. If you refuse to open the windows, for fear of noise complaints from neighbors, then you are bad at partying. It's Halloween. Everyone gets a free pass. Although, you can apologize for this inconvenience by providing more party sub than your guests could possibly consume.
Halloween is ostensibly about girls putting on a costume, and then sexy hyphenating it. This doesn't mean you can't be clever. Observe "Zombee" at right. And also Nixon. Nixon is always hot.
Don't guess what someone's costume is. Or if you don't know, wait to see who they came with. Jackie O here had no idea what a "Dr. Girlfriend" was.
No matter how good your costume is, it will not win Best in Show at any party in Hollywood. You're up against the pros. One friend who works at Paramount borrowed the actual GI Joe power-suit from the new movie, complete with detachable faceplate. We are not worthy.
I ruined the night for a guy who came as Patrick Bateman (my costume from last year). Admittedly, we're both homicidal sociopaths in suits with paint that covers one half of our face, but I flip a coin and he smokes a cigar. We couldn't be more different.

If it makes you feel any better, I looked at that picture and immediately thought, "Dr. Girlfriend!"
Relief washes over me in waves.
Very, very cool costume. Also, I second what you say about makeup for Halloween. I was wearing this prosthetic thing that needed lots of make-up work, and I seriously had problems eating/talking/smiling all night.
