It seems as though frozen is a craze that will never end, and I am I full supporter. I love all things disney related, hip and urban I know, and frozen is just the icing on the cake. I could actually cry at how much I love it. I just have to think of olaf and my mood is lifted. So it seemed fitting that for Halloween this year, I went as Elsa. I put a substantial amount of effort in and I was pretty pleased with the finished result. I made the dress and cape myself and wore with sparkly sandals to add the extra delight that comes with all things glittery.
I primed my skin with this w7 primer, a dupe of smashbox. I have to say, for £1.99 it does an excellent job, I can't complain.
Since Elsa is the snow queen, I wanted my skin to be really pale. This isn't difficult when you're from the north of England and by nature have an anaemic-like complexion.
I then applied my Dainty doll concealer all over my face to look even paler- I too was shocked that this was possible.
This seventeen foundation is a bit too light for my skin and is really thick, so it was great for this look. I applied with my real techniques stippling brush all over my face and neck and the transformation to albino was complete.
I went with a REALLY dark blush for this for that 'I've just been frolicking in the snow and that' look. This blusher is a bit too strong for everyday wear but great for things like this. Then it was time for the exciting bit; highlighter. Oh boy, oh boy how I love a highlighted cheekbone.
Obviously I went with the staple mac soft and gentle and benefit high beam. You don't mess with a classic.
I had to get creative when it came to the eyes. As it isn't 2002 anymore and people don't really wear pink eyeshadow daily, I had to use two shades of lipstick on my eyelids to get the lovely pink look that elsa has. I went with this lilac topshop colour and a hot pink from the Kate moss rimmel range.
I applied the lilac all over my eye lid and put the pink into my crease. I then put this dark purple shade that I have in a palette of eyeshadows over the crease.
I went with my favorite red cherry lashes (no 43 if you're wondering) and an excessive amount of glitter on the side of my face to finish it off.
I simply plaited my hair to one side and wore a clip in fringe backwards to give those faffy little bits elsa has at the front, so I didn't have to wear a full wig. It worked rather well If I say so myself. The only full length picture I have of the dress itself is with my friend, Luke, who went as Amish man, and Hannah who went as a bat.
All in all, a pretty easy diy costume and a rather hilarious Halloween.
