Which reminds me, because I did need to ask, have you got any tips for applying the make up? Like is there a best order to do it i.e. Red then white then black?

I always do the red first. Find it easier to work around it than to do it afterward.

Otherwise...yeah, pretty much just spread it by hand. If your makeup is the right viscosity you can always try a makeup sponge too, but I find thats more trouble than its worth. I pretty much just play around until it looks right really.

Look forward to seeing it dude :cool:

I'm considering it...I'd rather come up with something new though. As much as I adore ol' Mr. J, after Dark Knight came out and everyone got obsessed it just isn't the same. Still, the costume remains in my closet - worst case scenario I sure don't mind whipping it out again :cool:

I tend to plan out my costume a few months in advance.

What about you guys? Anyone have any awesome costumes picked out or in the works?

My costume is not awesome...but from fantasy...I am going to be Hermione from Harry Potter:p

I have finally decided on Little Sister from BioShock. Should be easy enough, I just need to make it recognizable so I dont just look like some little ghost girl with a weird needly gun. Thinking I'll sew up a big daddy plushy to make it work.

Decided on a variation of the joker. Same basic gear needed to make the costume, but a bit more freedom. The typical evil clown. I did an early mock-up. It was with limited colours. The eye bubbles are probably going to be green, as well as the hair, and the face will obviously be white. Oh, and I'll get a proper wardrobe.





I think I'll change the shape of the eyes, as well. Make them angrier and pointier.

I was thinking about doing the masquerade version of The Phantom of The Opera.

few years ago i wore a goblin mask with a boston red sox hat, this time im thinking Leatherface Because i bought the mask on ebay. i have to modify it with velcro first because its big enough to fit over a football helmet.

also, thinking of throwing a cloak on with a hood and around my eyes painted black with a crouched walk so i can disguise myself one hundred percent for trick or treating. last time someone asked me,"arent you a little to old for trick or treating?". this way i can avoid any problems and unite with my bags of sweet treasure.
