Corpse bride Make Up Trial Run

Hope I'm not scaring anyone too bad.......just doing a trial run for tomorrow nights Halloween party down the street at my neighbors house : ) I had a lot of fun doing the eyes and the stitching around the mouth. I'm posting this here because make up application is an art like I have never experienced before!!! When I was a lot younger I used to play dress up and put my Mom's Avon lipstick on but never in all my years have I really experimented with make up to this extent. I"m not much of a make up wearer in everyday life. I can see how people could really get into it!!! I"m looking forward to posting tomorrow to show the whole shabang!!! I have big plans for my hair - NO WIG either!!! Just my big old mop!!!
