My Halloween costume and makeup! With Pics!

So today I just did a makeup and cotume run through before Halloween. I have three makeup looks to do on Halloween day so I am trying them all out before hand to make sure things run smoothly.

I am going as Mother Nature! I bought the dress at a thrift store (value village heck ya!), all the stuff on the dress is from the dollar store and I just used a hot glue gun to glue them on. The head piece is made out of molding metal, which can be found at craft stores or in my case, the dollar store. I just used a hot glue gun to glue on the moss, and then the two side panels are material so that it would bend to my face. Then I just used a piece of twine to tie the hat on, no need for bobby pins of clips to secure it. Let me know what you think! I am soo excited!

I got the ideas for the makeup by looking up tutorials online. My favourite is Petrilude. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmHLtB69bcc&feature=channel
