Halloween Costume 2010: Lady Gaga in Alejandro (DIY)

Last year Lady Gaga costumes where replicated everywhere and this year won't be an exception. The singer is known for her dramatic looks which have become more of her trademark.

I came across this tutorial on Youtube which shows how to make everything from the lighted headpiece and the round binocular like glasses out of lace, wires, showering hoses and a few more items which can be found at your local store. Interesting!

Avatar (3D movie) Make-Up/Costume Tutorial- For Men And Women

I liked this second one, because it's much more sparkly, and it would be great if you wanted to dress up as Neytiri or another female Na'vi for a Halloween party, costume party, etc.

It's a much more sexy, glamourous and girly version that's while still being Avatar inspired. Can you believe the second tutorial was made using only cheap make up brands (e.g. ELF and Ebay palettes)?? Love it!

And here are some great costume ideas available here:

1. Hannah Montana:
The past year or two, this Disney Character has taken over little girls tv sets and hearts. To get this look you'll need:


*Wig: Blonde/light brown colores, with long straight hair and bangs. Bangs are a must and if you can get a wig with highlights, even better!

*Glittery top: Sequins are best and any color will do. Feel free to add rhinestones or other fun decorations. Think "pop princess".

*Jacket: (Cropped) denim, velvet or corduroy jacket over your glitter or cami top and again: sequins/rhinestones are more then welcom for the full effect.

*Belt: Gold or silver and preferably wide.

*Optional : Stockings. Hold on to your hat- fishnet or patterned preferred. Black also acceptable.

*Bottoms: Jeans or a mini denim skirt (with rhinestones). Rhinestones or other patches (optional) will add more pizzaz.

*Other accessory ideas: chunky glittery jewellery, necklace/earrings, long scarf around the neck. And a mic or use a computer headset to look like wireless mic.

*Shoes: cowboy boots, black boots, sneakers.


2. Scooby doo's gang character:

You can pick from Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, Fred or even Scooby Doo. This idea would make an even better group outfit. If you need more characters to dress up as, go as one of the villains wearing a Halloween mask.

Here's an example:
For Daphne's costume you'll need:

*Costume: A purple dress (can also be sleevless).

*Hair: An orange/red haired wig. And purple matching headband.

*Accesories: green scarf.

Scary Halloween Makeup: Corpse Bride

Halloween is right around the corner and it's time to start preparing.. What are you going to go dressed as?


I prefer more "ghoulish" looks, which may be cliche but it's the only time of year where the point is to actually look as scary as possible - or at least have a Halloween theme.

Here is a corpse bride look (inspired by Tim Burton). It's such a huge transformation that it actually MADE me want to go as a corpse bride ha.. just cause the make up tutorial/final look is so amazing..
