How about a doe eyed look and subtle stained lips, like a young girl but revved up.

You would make a great Alice! I think you should definitely do the red lips!

i think you should do a really pinkish/reddish blush on your cheeks (just to give you a flush of colour) and have baby pink lips also line your eyes and put some mascara

Totally agree! I was thinking a la Holly on The Girls Next Door. She always has pretty make up and she kind of reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.

When I think of Alice, I think of Tom Petty's video, "Don't Come Around Here No more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5H0wUo37RY

I think a lot of Alice will have to do with the clothes. It will have to look like a child's. No reds lips. I would go for pink cheeks. Check out the video that has an Alice in it. She is more about her hairstyle and clothing. The makeup is minimal.

I think you will make an awesome Alice. I think it's a fantastic idea.

Whenever I think of Alice, I think English Rose meets Victorian porcelain doll.

Depending on the outfit, I'd say try out a clean pale face, mildly dewy; some stained lips and soft rosy cheeks. Some white liner on the lower waterline to open up the eyes with some clean, dewy lids.

It really depends what you want to emphasize of your Alice, is she more child-like? Or slightly naughty? What does the dress look like?

For something more childish, definitely pink lipstick or a just a touch of gloss, a dewy finish foundation, a very subtle mascara and some neutral tones on your lids, maybe with a bit of shimmer, if you don't want to look boring.

If you want a more naughty version of Alice try to emphasize your best features or create symbolic language with your makeup to get the message across. It could be your lips, your lashes, a very bold eyeliner.

Is it a Gothic Alice or a Punk one? Alice's character can open a world of possibilities.

Hey was trying to go for a bit of a funkier alice , this is a pic of the costume im not wearing the socks though got white tights and not wearing the scary maryjanes in the pic got nice double strap maryjanes!!!!

Well, you could go with Gwen's signature perfectly shaped blue red lips, heavy liquid liner and wicked lashes (a par of false-eyelashes would kick-ass), or you could sport the season's smoky eye (perhaps with some added glitter (try Make Up For Ever for some really cool colors or mix it up with Diamond Powder), you could try MAC's Dark Soul and Silver Fog Pigment with a sultry nude lip lacquered to its most in gloss.

Sounds fantastic!!! i was thinking of getting dark soul anyway i will try a few looks , i wish i could find where to get make up forever just can't seem to get it in my neck of the woods xxxxx

Sephora usually carries MUFE, do you have one in Glasgow?

 

[Girl about town]

sadly no!! i would die if there was a sephora next to me , i think i,ll need to try get it online but its so hard to see shades etc!!

 

[AriannaErin]

hey, just came across your post, I was alice last year! Same costume too, lol. Anyways mine isnt' traditional alice by any means, but it's sort ofhow i turned out after playing around.

can see the makeup a bit better here, but not great

I'm pretty sure I used a bright blush like dollymix and lots of hundred degrees pearlizer. The eyes was a mix of darker smokey shades as well as freshwater (or belle azure?) and an icy baby blue i have with a white frosty shadow, black liner and lotsa fake lashes

Lips was just angel lipstick with miss bunny tlc i think, nice baby pink.

this is something I had saved at the time that I really liked too

 

[Girl about town]

wow thanks thats amazing im really impressed, will definitely be going for that sort of look!! can't wait now!!
