Show us your Halloween Costume!

After seeing Perry's thread I wanted to share my costume, but since it involves no real face painting (just make up) i thought it would be best to put it in a thread here... others are welcome to join in. I'm hoping to get some different shoes, and the hair is so hard to keep up... but here you have it, a preview of Mrs. Lovett! This is all stuff I had around the house and put together... yay for costumes on a budget

Awesome!
For the hair: Depending on how much you want to invest in time... you can get some styrofoam and go to a beauty supply shop and get hair to attach or wrap around the styrofoam. It could give you a really cool shape, make you look like you have lots more hair, and you don't have to worry as much about styling and products keeping it up. Hair can be inexpensive... I picked up some brightly colored hair to make clips to sell at the next festival for .99 for a big package. My friend took me to the "chinese shop" although I believe it was owned by a Korean family.

There you have it: it always pays to own a corset. It looks great!

Looks great!!

I wanna corset!!!!!!

J, thanks... I'll see, but I don't know what I'll have time for this week

I LOVE my corset!

Fabulous costume created with stuff around the house - amazing! Wish I could put one together that easily!

I have a bit of a boring witch's outfit. Long straggly thing. Really thin so I have to wear hubby's thermals under it to keep warm outside. I will try and find a picture from last year.

gorgeous! must have been getting some good meat pie business to be able to afford such and exquisite corset

Thanks all!

Metzpah, the shepherds pie peppered with actual shepherd on top is a favorite of my customers

The corset was custom made, only $55 at http://damseldress.com/ which from what I've seen is a pretty dang good price ^_^

well Halloween has passed. Hope everyone had a good one! I didn't go out to a party or anything but this is how I went to work. Well sort of, I had to wear my bright neon orange work shirt over top of it

I love it Metzpah! If only I looked as good in a sliver lame bodysuit! Very styling, and the paint is awesome!

Wouldn't you know it.... my husband is a photographer, and so we never have snapshots of anything! My friend took some pics, so I'm waiting for her to send.

Love the costumes!!!

I did 2 different ones. Halloween I did my "Devil Stewie" face but didn't get a good shot of it. I have a pic from the last time I did it though:


And here is my Halloween costume from Friday...I was Little Red Riding Hood...AND the wolf:) :

I got the Red Riding Hood idea bc a friend gave me her "sexy Red Riding Hood" costume from last year. I just used the cape though, and instead I went for the WARM Red Riding Hood look haha!

I love your Big Bad Wolf-Red Hiding hood Face!!! That is so good!

Wow Jessica - That is so cool!!!! and Savvy yours is inspired - love the corsette, makeup and hair!!! No meat pies for me, though ! That movie freaked me out!!!

I was working all day Fri and Sat so I was in my regular clothes. Next year - I am dressing up even if I am working!!!! I feel like I missed out when I see all your outfits!

I love the Lit'l Red/Wolf costume. Great face. I love half faces because of the contrast. I'm going to be on the lookout for a red cape so I can be it next year.

THanks guys! And thanks to Heather Timmons for the Wolf video that helped me out!
Yeah I like doing something different for Halloween. Last year I wasn't going to dress up at all, then on the 31st at like 6pm I decided I wanted to. So I painted a black (well green, I only had some green stuff at the time...that was before this face painting thing ) line across my eyes, put on a really mismatched outfit, and carried a sign that said "DON"T". And I was a major fashion don't. Simple, fast, and FREE .


Haha wow, those are some mad skills on the makeup huh?!

Here's my Dorothy costume. Not much makeup either as I was at my job for the entire day with this costume.

This is me dressed up 80's style. My baby girl is a fairy.

She is PRECIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! She's the Princess in the house.

Cool stuff! My costume was just what I wore that month instead of my suual fairy look. Nice change not to have big wings on![img][/img]

Is old fave goth skirt over ripped apart bought cosyume with custom additios as I'm too fat for any clothes they sell in Hk

catx

That's beautiful Cat.... and whaddya mean "fat"???

Have you SEEN the local population here?? Bras don't come in over B cup (or any inches I'd get more than an arm in) and in most shops a UK size 10 is classed as XXL. Sizes above that (me being a 16) only available in SOME high class stores like Chanel I suspect. Tho maybe not - never shopped there!

So yup fat. Tho even without a corset costume I do have better boobs than most of them by FAR.

cat x

Yeah... I've seen them (those that moved to Vancouver to work at HSBC!!) and given that most wear a size ZERO (WTF???) and their shoes are bought in the Barbie accessories area of the toy department...

Cat,

Did you get a close up of your face paint at all. That is one I would like to add to my "work on it" file. Thanks!
