Zombie Leia
This was created for Halloween, put a little spin on my usual Princess Leia getup. I created a whole new dress for this (actually screen accurate with proper seam placement, scarf hood, and double layered lol). It was really a shame to shred such a perfect reacreation... but shred away I did! The shredded areas were then smeared with used coffee grinds to give that 'Just-risen-from-the-grave" look. Luckily my poor leia boots are already scuffed and dirty, so no more work was needed.
I used Ben Nye Color Cake in Calypso Blue for the face and arms... since their brand worked so well for my twilek, I figured I'd try again. The blue goes on just opaque just enough so I don't look like a smurf. I then powdered on some black eye shadow with my blush brush along the cheek bones and forehead. I then used a make up sponge to put more shadow around my eyes for the sallow dead look. I used scab make up for the bloody areas (and it does dry like a really gross scab) and fake liquid blood for gooey oozey blood effects. I'm still perfecting the make-up, I'm happy with the base color, but the scabs and blood need a little work before NYCC.
I won $50 at work for the gorey catagory and 2nd place in Rebel Scum's Halloween costume contest!
This costume was so much fun to wear. The kids at the NYC Halloween parade were either terrified or wanted to give me a high five (wtf?) lol. I can't wait to scare up more people sometime soon! |
