Corpse Bride {Halloween Makeup Tutorial} ♥

"You may now ... kiss ... the bride..." This haunting and beautifully themed tutorial will help you dress yourself as Emily from Tim Burton's film, Corpse Bride. Using an airbrush is the best way to create a flawless finish but since most people do not have such a tool, I tried my best to create blue skin with Aqua color and eye shadows. Her up-arched brows, circular, darkened, beautiful blue eyes, sunken in cheekbones and soft pink lips are Emily's signature aspects. I hope you enjoy the tutorial :) WHAT I USED ~ ==BASE & SKIN PREP == * ice cube wrapped in napkin * OLAY Moisturizer (very important to fill in pores and moisturize when painting face and using special effects or uncommon products like glue on your face ...) * Urban Decay Primer Potion ==COLOR & CONTOUR == * Kryolan Aquacolor in 070 * Vampin' Blue Shadow pot by Coastal Scents * Coastal Scents 88 Eyeshadow Palette ==EYES & BROWS== * Black False Lashes (pointy style) * The Falsies Volume Express Mascara by Maybelline (purple & teal tube) * Revlon Lash Adhesive/Glue * Revlon ColorStay Liquid Liner in Blackest Black/Noir Intense * Coastal Scents 88 Eyeshadow Palette * Claire's 40 Shimmering Eyeshadow Palette * Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner pencil in Black/Noir ==LIPS== * NYX Lipliner in Pinky 835 * Revlon Lipstick in Softshell Pink 405 * Revlon Lipstick in Fuchsia Fusion 657 ==BRUSHES & TOOLS== * Cosmetic Wedge * Foundation Brush * Eyelash Curler * Pointed Crease brush from Coastal Scents (long black handle) * Pink ...

Disney Princess Costume - Great Fun for Dress Up and Halloween!

At some time in their life, every girl will want to wear a gorgeous Disney princess costume. They watch the movies about Cinderella, Belle, Princess Tiana, and Snow White. Dressing up in a Disney princess costume is a rite of passage. Children are excited and enchanted with pretend. Having them wear the outfit of a princess helps them feel that much closer to being a princess.

Disney princess costumes can be used for the yearly Halloween trick or treat, but girls love to play dress up. As a child, I spent hours with friends acting out plays of Snow White and Cinderella. My friends and I took turns being the princess and the evil witch. It was a wonderful activity for us as having a friend participate seemed to make it that much more real that we were Disney princesses. Occasionally, we would watch the movie in our dress up outfits. I don't know if we needed a reminder about what happened next or if we were just tired and wanted to munch on popcorn.

There are many different princesses now. Disney princess costumes can be anywhere from Mermaids to Tinkerbells. You have different ethnic costumes as well. Princess Tiana is the latest Disney Princess and she is African American. Disney has added quite a bit of diversity to their princesses. Gone are the days of blue eyed blond haired princesses. Your child will not feel like they aren't quite right for the part because they have dark hair. There are plenty of dark haired princesses now.

It is simple to make a Princess Costume. You just need to think pretty. You can choose a pattern online or you can assemble a beautiful outfit yourself. One of the key ingredients is sparkle. Make sure the dress looks nice. You can embellish it with rhinestones, lace or glitter to turn an ordinary dress into a princess costume. You may also want to purchase some pretty slippers or a wand to complete the outfit.
