Star Wars geeks (Halloween costume)

[mcc]

Im going to a space themed Halloween party tomorrow so naturally I'm going as an ewok. I need a darker nose but otherwise, aside from fur and making my whole face brown, what should I do makeup wise?

verycontrary247 help?

[mcc]

Oh thanks inara. I look like I got punched. Ill try the eyes!

This is the cutest Ewok I've ever met. I think it's important to keep it simple. Dark lip and eyeliner, solid black/brown nose and shape it well.

Also, not what you asked, but I'd cut the size of those ears in half.

Grr fuck it this costume sucks I have nothing to wear!

Can you rotate them? If you attached the long side, they wouldn't stick up so much and would look a bit more Ewok.

As for the makeup, I agree with the above. Simple is fine. And definitely do the small nose like in inara's example. Also, I would try a darker lip. Almost the same color as the nose.

GilliC I put wire in the ears so they smushed a little bit and look better. I did the lips dark but I looked like a freak.

I woke up feeling like I'm getting sick so I think I might skip out on the party anyway. If anything, I'll leave from work and wear devil horns and call it a day. Thanks!

Boo! You should wear it anyway if you go! Even with normal makeup!

It's still cute, and you made the effort. Most people appreciate even a small effort more than the "I couldn't be bothered, so I put on a headband with ears/horns" costume cop-out.

Haha, ok ok, I'll wear the ears and scarf if I end up going. I can do a nose and grab a stick of some sort and just bop people on the head if they ask what I am I'm so happy I put wire in the ears so they're now smushable--crafting skills for the win!
