Coming up with our Announcement was such a treat. I had a vision of what I wanted to do, and it came out perfect!
My creative process ~I wanted a costume that symbolized something pure, beautiful, majestic; this came to me: the "mother nature" theme + the color palette of Baby Fig, just the nature of the two of them really brings out how I was feeling at the moment. This is how I express myself in any costume I am creating that year. It is a way for me to express myself on the outside once a year.
Material:
Crown
- Silk leaves, mine already had gold paint on it.
- Wire cutters.
- Heavy rustic floral wire for the base, I had some left over from another project.
- Hot glue and hot glue gun.
Makeup
- Gold leaves.
- Spray mount, this is what I had, but I would recommend another type of face adhesive.
- (not shown) Gold and plum eye shadow.
- (not shown) Eyelashes, I used purple.
- I bought 3 types of gold dust for my hair and body, -you can do as you please.
* I found all of my materials from Hobby Lobby (a craft store). Be sure to check online for coupons; they usually have 40% coupons and sales every day.
Here's How
Crown
- Measure the crown with the rustic floral wire around your head.
- Cut random pieces of the silk leaves from the stem with wire cutters.
- Randomly place the silk leaves around the crown, and with the hot glue gun, glue in the center.
Makeup
- I put my base makeup on (my usual everyday). I used liquid eye liner on the tops of my eyes to make a winged look at the ends. To enhance my cheekbones, I used more bronzer than usual and a dash of plum with a blush brush.
- I applied false eyelashes; mine were purple.
- In stages, I applied adhesive to my brows as I stuck the gold dust to it, not allowing it to dry too quick. The gold dust comes in flakes, so tear it as you please.
ENJOY & CREATE!!
Happy Halloween!!!
