Are you dead yet?

Hello everyone!

Halloween is in roundabout a week. So, there are seven days left to get a nice costume or to apply scary make-up. Sounds like much time for organizing a costume? Well, it isn’t. 

To start with I had several problems with organizing my costume. At first I wanted to dress up as Red Riding Hood (a bloody version of course!), but I couldn’t any affordable costume off this. Then I decided to make one myself, because you don’t need that much stuff: a red skirt and cape, a white blouse and maybe a black or brown belt around the waist. Too bad I had nothing of those things in my closet and no time to go and get them at a shop. So I had to switch to the next plan: a piratess costume. I found a nice one on Ebay and insta-bought it. After a day I got a message. They said they were terrible sorry, since this item is not on stock. Jesus. So my final plan is plan c and I really hope this one will turn out good. The upcoming costume will be a little secret until next week, because I want to take some pictures and maybe make a small make-up tutorial. It’s nothing big, but I hope you will like it nevertheless. So keep your fingers crossed for me. Otherwise…  I’ll have to take a bath in fake blood. Or something like that.

You see? Spending a couple of thoughts on a Halloween costume – it can never be too early! For next year I want to start at the beginning of October. Or even better: September. So you can make sure that you won’t end up costume-less.

When thinking about a good Halloween costume my first thought is always “What make-up should I use?” I spend some time on YouTube and found those great tutorials I want to show you. Essential for most of the tutorials is latex. You can buy it on the internet, get it in crafting shops and sometimes even in building centers. The German equivalent to “Kryolan” (which you can also buy on the internet) is “Eulenspiegel”. Every “Askania” or “Idee” shop has it :)

By the way, this is my favourite tutorial of this year. It is very easy to do. Everything you need is a zipper (dry goods store or 1-Euro-shops), latex, make-up. Maybe I try to do a make-up like this at the weekend. Just for testing. Don't you think trying different make-up looks like that one is fun?

 

Here is a make-up tutorial that pay attention to the beauty aspect, since there are a some people that surely are not keen on looking like 'crap' ;)

Oh- and if you don't have an idea for a creepy costume yet, watch this video.
I love the "ring" movies! In my opinion there is no scarier character as the drowned girl Samara. Years ago this movie scared the shit out of me. Watching it made me think I would die within a week. Oh, I was so sure of it... it's a miracle I survived ;) 

I think this costume is a great last minute solution. All you need is a worn out dress, a black wig and matching make-up. A good addresse for wigs in Germany is Kalz shop. Usually they send the goods after 2 or 3 days --> http://kalz-shop.de

Fun fact: Every time I watch this movie, my phone rings.
