What are you going to do this Halloween? Buy or DIY? It's 11 days away!

I have decided to undertake a beginner's sewing journey unlike any other. I'm going to actually make my costume from scratch this year. I typically throw together thrifted stuff and it turns out alright. But this year I really want to commit to something as if I cosplay. I'm going to be Monster High's Catty Noir! It's 2013 and she loves 13!

That costume looks really ambitious!

Here it's only in recent years that we have started dressing up on the 31st. Any excuse to play costumes is a good excuse! hehe I think me and my friends are going to go as very unoriginal zombies, so we are doing them ourselves ;)

So true! I was really overwhelmed but as soon as I hit confirm purchase for the wig and cat eye contacts I told myself I'm committing to this somehow! Luckily googling today I found a vid for the dress's construction! If I had known this vid existed earlier would have so done this outfit in September. Now I have 7 days to get it done so I can hand kids in the community candy! Yikes!

For the black face paint I used a Ben Nye Water Activated Cake, I set the black face paint with a black eyeshadow, my lipstick was Milani's Uptown Mauve, my blush was a combo of white and hot pink eyeshadows and Wet n Wild's Pearlesent Pink Blush, I highlighted with white eyeshadow, my lashes are from a limited edition NYC Halloween collection, filled my brows with a hot pink shadow, dusted my nose with a random pink eyeshadow, the glitter was just silver glitter from Sally's Sally Girl collection, and my eye colors were just random e/s of silver, pink, and purple.
