Answer 1

When I was 16, I was just a dead girl for halloween. Here's what I did....

Get some make-up in the palest shade possible. Put it on, and then dust baby powder over it for the "pale skin" look.

Get some dark grey eye shadow (maybe with a slight purple hue) and draw circles around your ENTIRE eye with it (even underneath). Try to avoid the cheekbones. You're going for a sunken eye look. Then draw "shadows" that start with a more definite line directly under your cheekbone, and fade downwards towards your jaw line. This gives you the "sunken cheek" look. Dust it all with baby powder again, to add extra paleness. Baby powder also does good when it's hot outside, to keep you feeling drier.

Next, find an old outfit that you don't really mind throwing away. Rip it up in a few places, particularly lower hem lines (like pant legs). Make it look tattered. Try to make the ends of the sleeves look as tattered as possible, too. Get someone to drive over it a couple of times in a car. Then the day before you wear it, use ketchup, red food coloring, or fake blood sold at costume stores, and pour it on to a few places. Don't do it the day of, unless it's going to be a hot evening where you'll be. Walking around with wet clothing in cool temperatures can be rather unpleasant.

I had a rip in a flannel plaid pajama shirt, down near my stomach, and poured the "blood" all around the hole to simulate an abdominal injury that killed me. The more skin your outfit covers, the more convincing it will be (because no one will be able to view plain skin with "missing wounds" for the blood).

Your hair should be a total mess. USE CHEAP HAIR SPRAY! It dries hair out, and that, combined with messy hair looks awesome. You might even want to go the extra step, rake your yard, and roll in the leaves for a bit, to get pieces in your clothing and hair. It gives that extra "decayed" look for some reason. But you want your hair to look as dry and messy as possible. That's why cheap hair spray is awesome.

I would also suggest wearing some type of gloves, so you haven't got to do make-up on your hands as well. Cheap white gloves with "blood splatters" work great.

Will what are you trying to dress up has a sexy costume or a funny costume. Or scary costume you need to be more specific! But if you want to be silly gets a crazy pajamas and put roller on your hair and put some makeup on and some cute looking stand out slippers. And if sexy will you can wear any type of lingerie you can wear and some sexy panty hoes and high heels and do your hair and get a tail put on your butt and gets some wiskers for your nose and of course a head band with cat ears. You got a xy cat. And somethinh scary go to a thrift store get a wedding dress or some scrubs and put blood all over it and do your hair all crazy and put some blood of your side of lips and black mascara under your eyes and smear. And you got a dead bride or dead nurse. Does that help you.
