Last night I went out to a Halloween party with some friends and I decided to put my white hair & stripey Topshop top to good use by dressing up as Beetlejuice. As they say in Mean Girls, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it. But for me Halloween is a hell of a lot more fun if you have a creepy costume. I just added some stripey leggings from Internacionale (kudos to you if you can pull these off!) and black boots and my costume was complete. Its such a simple costume to recreate!
The best part was doing the makeup. I just went over what I already had on that day with some white face paint. It took a lot of this to make my complexion paler than is usually is! Then I drew around my eyes with black eyeliner, went over and around this with dark purple eyeshadow and stuck on some Eylure 205 lashes. I finished it off with some dark green face paint to act as his mouldy bits/stubble. The hair was pretty simple too. I just whacked loads of V05 Give Me Texture Instant Oomph Powder into my roots, backcombed it all and sprayed it with hairspray. The picture on the right was a quick toilet shot after a couple of hours of dancing to cheesey tunes so its fallen a bit but I still think I had that mental Beetlejuice look down haha. It was an epic night, definitely the most fun I've had in ages! Although a worrying amount of people I spoke to said they had never actually seen Beetlejuice!
