Hair

Cyndi Lauper's hair has changed a lot over the years, but she is most well-known for her platinum blonde locks. For a costume, choose a long blonde wig from a costume shop. Cut the wig so that one side is longer than the other and the ends are jagged. Then, insert pink, purple, blue or wildly colored hair extensions into the wig. If you can't find hair extensions like that, use temporary hair color to dye streaks in the wig. Tease the wig so that your hair will be big and wild.
Makeup

Cyndi Lauper's makeup is just as recognizable as her hair. Wear lots of foundation and powder and then put bright pink blush on your cheeks. Lauper's eyes are usually made up with lots of colors, so choose bright blues, greens, pinks or even yellows for your eyeshadow colors. Line your eyes with lots of black eyeliner, and apply a couple coats of black mascara to your eyelashes. Frosty pink lipstick will complete your makeup look.
