|Style| BeetleJuice! BeetleJuice! BeetleJuice!

Halloween is hands down my favourite holiday.  Even more so than Christmas.  It’s all the things I love coming together to create the ultimate look!  If you know me, you know I like to go hard for Halloween.  Even though I’ve been crazy busy this month, I didn’t want to drop the ball for Halloween.  And since Halloween needed to be on a budget this year (saving for some exciting things to come!), I wanted the look to be makeup focused. 

As a kid BeetleJuice always scared me.  But as I got older, I’ve fallen in love with all things Tim Burton.  The aesthetic and charm of his movies draw you into his world, and I’ve alway had a soft spot for Winona Ryder in all their works together.  Enter the perfect costume: Lydia Deetz!  

I had all I needed at home already!  I transformed an old wig from an old costume, into Lydia’s signature half-up-half-down, interesting bangs hairstyle, and layered on the black and black clothes.  For the makeup, I wanted to keep true to the makeup from the movie, but make it a little more glam, with some extra contouring and lashes!

All in all the costume was pretty simple, but the reactions I got while out, were priceless.  What did you dress up as?  Feel free to share links in the comments!
