Thread: Ideas on werewolf costume

Tweet

Ok, here's a pic from a makeup test I did today.



A couple other pics can be found in my album -
Halloween Forum - the dogman's Album: Me,sometimes

I just used some water based face paints and the make up took 30-45 minutes, mostly because I was playing around trying to get the look right.

If you can get them, I recommend some wolf eyes or similar contacts to complete the effect.

Halloween Sucks: I posted a picture of my costume over on the "how far along are you in the 2009 costume process" thread.

Thanks Dogman, those are awesome suggestions!

I do like Dogman's makeup work, but the nose may be an issue for those of us with larger protuberances (curse you Dogman and your cute button nose) and I have no idea where you stand in the nose-department, King. It would be a good option!

I'm sure you've looked into it, but I would also recommend a small face prosthetic. I looked up "werewolf prosthetic" in google and got quite a few options. I found looking through "images" to be the most helpful in scanning through the designs. I have to say the "hotness" meter was kind of low on most of what I saw, but I suppose it could depend on how you do the makeup and how the rest of the costume looks. There certainly are a number of snarling, grotesque ones, but I'm sure there has got to be something out there that has the qualities you are looking for.

I did some looking for a nose piece that may be worth looking into. I found one made by Woochie that shouldn't change much other than your nose, so if you do it up right you should be able to keep with the sexy werewolf idea and still look beastly.

Woochie makeup kits can be found in pretty much all Halloween stores. You may want to check them before ordering online.

If it doesn't work, you may be able to pull off the costume without having to have you nose painted or a prosthetic on it, as many people overlook the nose entirely when it comes to mid transformation werewolves.

My boyfriend went as a wolfman last year. His costume was mostly make-up:


Dirtied-up clothes, fangs on top and bottom teeth.


He found a wig that matched the color of his hair, cut it up, and applied it to his face, hands, and chest with spirit gum.


This picture shows his pointed ears.

Someone bought him a werewolf nose to use for his costume, but it just looked stupid. So he didn't use a fake nose.

I thought he looked awesome/hot.
