There are many creative and imaginative ideas for carnival costumes and make-up for women, but femininity and a delicate touch, which should actually be the focus for a lady, are often missing. We present 10 great outfit and makeup ideas that will make you appear feminine and distinctive - the Queen of Hearts, a simple representation of Bat Woman, the emblematic pop art girl, Medusa from Greek mythology and others. Read on!
The Queen of Hearts is a key character from “Alice in Wonderland”. It has been interpreted several times in films or as an artistic illustration in the novel of the same name. She is characterized by a typically female figure, dressed in red with different accents in the shape of a heart and with the colors of theplaying cards.
The make-up is characterized by a slightly pale complexion and doll-like emphasis on the cheeks. The red lipstick is a must-have. It is important to shape the lips into a heart shape. Use lipstick in a matching shade. You can emphasize the eyes very romantically with classic eyeliner.
Make the Queen of Hearts collar yourself
The emblematic collar made from several playing cards can be quickly made yourself in simple steps. Get enough playing cards - use an old set that is incomplete or get some at a cheap price from the dollar store - the more cards, the more magnificent the collar would ultimately look.
Fix the playing cards at a relatively equal distance from each other on a piece of sturdy cardboard that you have cut out in the appropriate shape. A tip: it's best to look for playing cards with a red back, as this remains visible and matches the red outfit.
Bat Woman
Bat Woman is the eternal classic outfit for women that always appears current and uncomplicated. Black clothing is needed for this purpose, as well as wings or a cape and cat ears. You can make these yourself quickly and easily.
cape
You can quickly make wings like these from the bat or the emblematic Batman cape from leftover black fabric. Fold the piece of fabric at a right angle to create two symmetrical pieces. Cut out one side in waves, like in the photo above.
Make a loop on the two corners of the cape to attach it to your fingers. It is best to use a rubber band or strong string.
Cat ears made of real or artificial leather look really authentic, so it is recommended to use this material. Sew two in a triangular shape or glue four triangles together two at a time. Fix them on a dark colored headband.
Choose an all-black outfit from your wardrobe and combine it with the homemade wings and headband.
We would recommend choosing a simple black dress without any decorations or prints or tight black jeans with a simple T-shirt or top. Optionally, get pieces with a black leather look, which have been particularly fashionable in recent years.
Pop Art Style Costume – Instructions
Pop Art culture and art inspire numerous experiments in the fashion or interior design industry. Emblematic images, like this one by Roy Lichtenstein, are also featured inCarnival costumesstaged.
useful materials
For our Pop Art carnival costume you would need a blonde wig, cardboard, make-up, suitable clothing and perhaps an old telephone receiver. For an effective result, all parts coordinate with each other according to color.
Don't forget the emblematic speech bubble. You can easily make one out of cardboard or paper and using black marker.
To give the blonde-yellow wig a pop art look, dye some of the highlights black. These play the role of the thick black contours that are characteristic of this art period.
The dot grid also stands for Pop Art and you can do this too. Use color that would not harm your skin. Paint some black contours on the face, similar to the model.
The dots not only cover the face, but also the entire body and clothing. Choose a suitable outfit with dots too.
Try to stay as close as possible to the pop art illustration and always think about the details.
Medusa from Greek mythology
Medusa from Greek mythology is a typically female figure with a demonic look. Snakes in your hair are typical for you. You can easily stage these.
For this purpose you use plastic snakes that you can insert into your hair and hairstyle in different ways. A variant would be to attach this to a headband and put it on your head. If desired, you can color the snakes in a metallic shade, such as silver, gold or copper.
For those of you who have a long mane, you can braid it beautifully and simply fix the curved snakes in a few places. Watch the video instructions where you will also find great idea forthematisches Make-upFind the Medusa look!
