Magnificent Maleficent

The first Disney movie to feature a “wicked” character is coming to theaters in the next two weeks, and I am THRILLED!!! I really think that this in depth, yet relatively simple costume will be a huge hit this Halloween. So, here are some makeup tips, some photos, and of course some costumes to help!

TIP 1: The Costume

The costume can be a tight black outfit, or even a black dress, as sexy or modest as you so choose. The most important component, however, is the head piece. Make sure that your head peice is meant for this costume, the small cost will be worth it.

OOOOOOH and do not forget the colorful Maleficent staff!

Now that you’re costume is on point, time for the face!

 

TIP 2: The Eyes

The eyes are a beautiful aspect to this costume. Sure, simply having brown eyes may make the costume look semi-evil, however, with the contacts that were chosen for this costume they are alluring, evil, and yet still beautiful.

Look at those eyes!

The best thing about beautiful contacts is that they really brin gout the paleness of the face- making your skin look flawless, and yet wicked, and also those wonderful red lips!

TIP 3: The Makeup

I watched like 50 videos to decide which was the best for this costume/ post.

There are many different ways to do the makeup, and contouring. The makeup can be smoky, super purple, matte (there really are many options). But the most important aspect to the makeup is the contouring. If you look at Angelina Joli’s face you will see that the contouring really brings out the wicked look.

As you can see the difference between Angelina’s face in the normal photo (although, she naturally has awesome cheek bones), and in the contoured Maleficent look really makes her face look similar to the animation character. It really is amazing what makeup can do!

Speaking of amazing makeup- here is a video of the Magnificent Maleficent makeup. As I said before, there are plenty to choose from, I just liked this best.
