I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a nice makeup combination for halloween. I was planning on being Elektra (picture is below). I will be wearing a fake red hot leather skirt and corset with a long brown wig with straight bangs and I have light Green eyes.

I had thought of something darker with not too much colour since I have a lot of red going on in the costume. I just got the pigment brash & bold because I figured it would be nice to blend it into the mix but it seems like it is a little pinky.

Some colours that I already have that seemed like they looked okay with brash and bold were bronze, satin toupe, black tied and young punk. But any other ideas, dark or light would be welcome! Thanks for your help everyone!!

I would go bold even though the costume is bold; it is halloween after all! I would go for a dark smoky eye with neutral lip. HTH!

I would do something really smokey and outlined kind of like her character picture on Wiki. Definitely do something fun with the eyeliner... you're a super hero!

Although I would shy away from red from the eyes... I would definitely use it in nails and lips.

She's always reminded me of a mix between a ninja assassin and a gypsy if that spurs any ideas =)
 
Kandee Johnson on youtube is doing some really fun Halloween make-up looks. Check her out and maybe she will give you some inspiration!

I think she did a poison ivy look that you might be able to make more like Electra in the make-up area.
