I know I have complained about the attention I get as a black expat in Germany but Halloween is my Christmas. I enjoy dressing up! I take it real serious. Like REAL serious. Months ahead of time I get anxious contemplating what look I will tackle. I love makeup intensive costumes and use Youtube as my Halloween Look Bible.
I'm the one on the right :) - Lady Gaga from the Born This Way Video and me |
This year my costume was inspired by Lady Gaga in the Born This Way
video. Not sure what the look is called but I call it the Skeleton Face. I usually take time to practice but this year, time got away from me. My
first attempt at this look was Saturday night. I totally underestimated
the effort needed to make me ugly and had to rush in finishing
the bottom half of my face. I also didn't have time to do my neck or hands which annoyed me to no end! bah bah bah! The wig was interesting, I am still trying to clean up plastic blond and pink strands off of my floor. It was all worth it though cause it all came together in the end. I already had the shirt and strong shouldered jacket as well as the bow tie. The decision to do this look was a no brainer.
I don't even like song but it's been in my head for days now. |

As a bonus here is a picture of my Halloween costume last year!!
Zombie in 2010. I threw that makeup on in 30 minutes. Meh. It worked Ventriloquist Dummy Costume from 2009 |
AND a youtube video of my costume for 2009. The look was inspired by a youtube makeup guru, Petrilude. I made the hat by myself with cardboard, fabric, wire, and a glue gun, oh and feathers :) I really enjoyed it! I got to be crafty and play with makeup. Woot.

Girl you are so talented with the Halloween makeup looks!! Next year I'll come to Berlin and we can go out all dressed up together... I love Halloween!
ReplyDeleteWOW... that is awesome makeup! Zombie is my own favourite personal choice of Halloween costume but there are NO celebrations at all round here in Hessen for dressing up for (but actually not so much in the UK anyway so not too much of a disappointment!)... luckily I got my annual dress up out of my system this year at Fastnacht with a bit of nurse zombie magic... I freaked out a LOT of people :)
ReplyDeletewow that is so amazing. We don't really do halloween in australia but my daughter dressed up this year. Next october we will be living in an American expat community in bangkok so we are looking forward to celebrating it properly for once
