Oh. My main halloween costume is a doll. The character's name is Riggity Mortis and yeah, he's a forsaken porcelain doll.
Some tips on makeup:
•PALE SKIN! Do white, it'll make the details stand out more.
•Draw on your eyebrows. Cover your real ones up with makeup and draw new ones on with very high archs.
•Do very vibrant eye shadow. Blues work nicely. Have fun and blend them with darker colors.
•Always use blush. I actually use pink grease makeup for mine, it always adds to the creepiness of the innocence.
•Do very detailed lips, usually over exaggerating the curves on the tops of them. I do my lips black, but red works more efficently for emphasizing the female face.
•Thick eyelashes. I draw mine on, giving a much more fake look and I'm a man...so I dont normally use fake eyelashes. But really big, gaudy ones would look PERFECT as well.
•I usually do different cracked designs. You dont have too, But since I'm forsaken...it only makes sense. I usually draw them on, but I'm going to start experimenting with morticians wax and spirit gum to add more of a realistic looking break in the face. Since when a doll's face breaks, porcelain usually shatters in larger pieces- not in many like glass. So it's usually better to have large breaks going across the face. But a good thing to do for little cracks, like in the paint, seems to be eyeliner. Make sure the tip is always sharpened and thin. But that works for me.
here are some pics of my makeup:
Hope that helped! Happy Dollings! Hee hee
