Top Party Advice

I want to dress up as a dead bride this halloween, and I want to make my makeup look authentic . I know how to make fake wounds but not much else. I have fake blood,  and I have some basic halloween makeup but I dont know how to use it properly.

Suggestion: Keep it simple. Use white colour on your face and neck to make you look really pale. To get the white foundation to blend really well, I always make sure to apply plenty of face cream or sorbolene. Put the white paint all over your face, including eyebrows.

Now dab small dots of black paint all around the eyes and blend it with the white to make your eye sockets look hollow.

Lips should be defined deep cherry red for a sexy bride look, or smudged black /grey for an realistic dead look.

I work as a waitress at a family friendly restaurant. For Halloween we’re allowed to dress up in costumes as long as they fit with the family friendly restaurant theme. All I have is a French maid costume, but that isn’t suitable. What should I wear? And what sort of shoes will I wear? I usually wear sensible non-slip shoes to work for safety reasons.

Suggestions:

Dead waitress. Just put your French maid apron over you usual uniform. You can still wear the little white cap, but make your makeup pale and ‘dead’ looking. Make your eyes all grey and smokey and even add a scar if you’re clever with makeup.

You could easily be a black cat by wearing black clothes, shoes and putting whiskers on your face and getting some cat ears to wear. You can make some ears by cutting some stiff black fabric in triangles and glueing them to an alice band. This would be comfortable and fun and wouldn’t scare any kids. Oh and did I mention cheap? That’s always good!
