OK...here's the Elvira trial run. I need to tweak the makeup a little, you know like get a FACELIFT before the party, LOL!!



But I like the dress and the wig ROCKS!! This picture does not do it justice...

VA-VA-VaBoom ! Hooch, you are THE Elvria temptress! Whooo mamma......I think you got it right on the mark. I think Elvira had "smokier" eye makeup tho, if that is what you met by tweek. I don't recall her having that color eyeshadow. But it still looks good the way your have it. And shoes would be??????

Fabulous! I agree with CFQ about the eye makeup, though.

I love it! You look really great! You don't need a facelift, you got it going on just the way you are!!

Great costume. It looks really good, however, if I may add my two cents: I'm a stickler for detail and Elvira's hair is much taller. I don't know of a good work around to make the wig sit higher while still having it cover like it should. The make-up looks great as does the costume, but with the wig the way it is you look a bit more like Morticia Adams (still awesome no less) than Elvira.

You can soooo pull off Elvira! I do agree that the hair needs to be higher on top, but other than that....Fantastic!

Thanks, guys, for the feedback!!

CFQ and Rikki, that's exactly what I meant when I said tweak the makeup!! Smokier. But I did a lot of research, and the eye shadow is really blue and fuschia, and goes all the way up to the hairline. But the eye lids need to be darker, or something. There are actually directions to be had online!

Fox Reality – Shows

Jack and brandywine, the angle of the photo doesn't show it, but the top of that wig is really tall. Maybe I need to pull it further forward, and trim the bangs a little. It could be the way I'm holding my head, I tend to tip my head back a bit in pictures to avoid showing my double chin, LOL . That is by far the best wig in my collection now. It is really cool.

Again, thanks everyone for the compliments and suggestions. In general I was very pleased with how she turned out.

P.S. The shoes are black really high heels (pray for no broken ankles!) but I didn't have black hose, so didn't show the full length shot.

Wow you look fabulous. I agree with the makeup but sounds like you are on top of things. I think you're on track with making the bangs more out there and pulling the wig forward a bit more. I bet that will make the world of difference, but you look like Elvira, and I would definatly have known who you were Great job.
