Thread: How far along are you in the 2009 costume process?

Or you could hide them with Ben Nye wax compound. I did it in my Theatre Makeup class in college. It's easy and keeps your eyebrows intact but looks very very realistic. It was pretty funny to see a whole class room full of young people with no eyebrows! hehe

Hmmmm...that's a thought. But would they cover really dark eyebrows? They're pretty much black.

It sure does! My brows are a very dark brown. and it worked great for me. With some wax compound and some stage makeup foundation, you'd never even know there were eyebrows there. Man, do I look freaky without eyebrows!

My wife was Michael Myers a couple years ago, but the six year old version in the clown costume when he first killed his sister.

I don't think anyone figured it out....

I'm a bit ticked off. I took some pictures to share, as my dress has arrived now, but my computer is being a pain and I can't upload them at all!
Fear not, I will keep trying!

I got them uploaded! My card reader can't seem to accept my 4GB SD, but I rummaged out my camera USB lead to upload!

You will find images of the dress in my Halloween 09 preperation album here though here is a taster:
The necklace


The dress with the straps
[

and without the straps showing


I will be getting a jacket as similar to the movie as I can, though there are images in my album with a jacket I own, just to give you an idea of how it will look.

What are you going as? Jim Carrey's The Mask

What have you got? Hat, Green face make up, Face putty for chin, cheekbones and eyebrow ridge, white sleeve shirt, black suspenders, white socks, hankercheif, lipstick, sponges for make up, liquid latex, spats, clay to make the teeth, and sealing powder.

What have you still to get? The bright yellow zoot suit is nearly completed, I need to paint the black and white weird tie still, still waiting on the shoes, would like to get a long feather to put in my hat and I still need to mold and sculpt my big white teeth.

Any in progress pictures? Nope

I'm kinda cheating this year and wearing my werewolf costume from last year. I normally don't wear the same costume twice, but seeing as how it took 9 months to make (special thanks to missmonster and instructables.com) and it would be a waste not to wear it again. Here's a photo from last year.
(haven't posted pictures yet, so hopefully I did it right)

What are you going as?
I'm going as the lady (Melanie) that got attacked by birds in the 1963 movie "the Birds" I got this idea from the Roseanne show Halloween episode 4, where Darlene dresses up like her. Except I'll be the zombie version of bird lady.

What have you got?
I found a vintage dress at our local thrift shop for $1.75, I have bought crows from our local DT store, I already have shoes in my closet that I no longer wear, and Im using my wedding gloves , that I already died in tea.

What have you still to get?
Nothing really, Melanie's hair was blond, but I don't want to wear a wig this year, so I'll just do her hairstyle. And I need do get a pair of cheap panty hose.

Any in progress pictures?
I'll take some pictures, but I may not be able to upload on here, as Ive been having computer issues.

What are you going as? Abby from NCIS

What have you got? boots, wrist cuffs, skirt, top, wig, NCIS badge

What have you still to get? white lab coat, spiked collar/choker

Any pictures? Here is one from a trial a couple months ago. I have gotten a new wig since then, that is already in pig tales.
