For anyone who doesn’t know I LOVE Halloween! It is my
favourite time of year!
This year though I didn’t want to spend loads on my costume
like I have done in previous years but I also didn’t really want to recycle an
old costume.
Completely stuck I was browsing Boohoo and came across a skeleton dress (I tried to link it but it no longer seems to be on the website) and an idea was born. The dress fits nicely the only problem I would say is the design was cracking before I even had it on and it has got worse since but I will only be wearing it this year hopefully since I'm doing slimming world and hoping it wont fit next year!
This is just a test of the make-up and I know it doesn’t look
the best but I thought I would show you it anyways. I’m sure after Saturday when
the party is Ill have some photos to share of the actual make up I do.
I did just have a skull face with the initial idea of
putting blood along the edge but I forgot to get fake blood so this may be
something I add tomorrow we’ll see.
The trick is to use your actual bone structure as an
indicator for where you should have black for the hollow spaces. It took me a
few attempts to get this to look okay so I’d say keep baby wipes handy!
For the teeth I used my own teeth as a guide and then just
filled in the spaces with more white.
Overall this does take a while to do but it was unbelievable
cheap as all I had to do is buy the dress which I will totally wear again and
some white face paint. For the black I just used make up.
Here's the products I used but you can use whatever works for you really.
A little optional extra which I didn’t have when I took these photos but do now is white-out contact lenses. These just add to the creepiness of the look and I love them.
Hope you like this look. Id love to hear your comments and
know what you’re going as for Halloween!
