halloween has finally arrived:

Cool Contacts and Stupid Makeup

i ended up getting two pairs of contacts.. the first pair i went with because they were cheap because they looked good and the website didn't make me verify that my eyes were okay (probs illegal). that pair (on the right) didn't work well enough for my standards, so i tried to order a new pair, but no one else would sell me them without an eye exam.

long story short i got a demo pair at the exam and they worked great.

i also bought some clear eyes for use with contacts because holy hell did my eyes dry up fast.

my mom helped me pick up the makeup for my costume... surprisingly, one store was sold out of the "porcelain" color and the other store was running low. looks like i wasnt the only vampire this halloween...
here is everything i used:
(mineral veil, a brush thing, porcelain l'oréal true match, pink OUTLAST lipstain, l'oréal bare naturale mascara, and some maybelline eyebrow stuff)

here is a test run of the make up and contacts:

Making The Wristcuff

i felt like the wristcuff was an essential piece to edward's look.. but i didnt want to drop 26 bucks on it. so i bought a crest thing off eBay that looked pretty good, and some faux leather fabric from walmart.

here are some pics of my mother and i putting it together:

she's an old bird but she gets the job done...

...

..the sewing machine.. of course.

New Buttons

i already had this peacoat before i knew what twilight even was.. so that was nice.. but i had to change the metal buttons to plain grey.. my mom helped me sew them on.

old buttons...

new buttons...

success!!
