Hi I love the look! My family is putting on an outdoor haunted house this upcoming weekend 10/23/10 and my mom is going to be a witch in the witches room. I can't find the details of the name of the products you used and the colors to make sure I get it right. Would you be so kind to list the products used? Thank you so much!

you didn't need a fake nose, your real nose was large enough

This looks really cool! How'd you come up with this 'tissue technique?' And what impact does it make?

My mom came up with this when she played the wicked witch in a traveling company. They were always in close range to the audience so it really made a difference! I did scare a few people when I first put it on, but since I didn't maintain it, it started to peel after a while. You have to continue applying glue when it starts to let go or you will lose the effect. I would say, playing to an audience in a larger venue, you may as well skip it and just go green! :) Thanks!

Excellent and thorough job. As the Queen of Karaoke in Las Vegas, I have sewed and designed 159 costumes, & performed in 18 costumes alone for the month of Halloween. One costume was the wicked witch from Snow White with the hunched back & basket lined in hologram White material, with Big Red Apple that said "poison." I'm now doing Wizard of Oz, Wicked witch of the west and the ideas here were most helpful. Thanx.

WOW! Thanks! It sounds like you know what you are doing without me though! I would love to see pics of the snow white witch if you have any! Sounds like you did a tremendous job!!! I am glad I could help even just a little!!!

I am sure that was frig hilarious! Hell, I think it is more fun to dress up now that I am older than it was when I was younger! If you do dress up...make sure to post a vid with pics! :)

[VanitysEdge]

I see! LOL! Sorry, hard to pick up on humor in text sometimes! Thanks for the complement tho! But really, man/woman whatev...that is the best part of dressing up for halloween or whatever...the transformation into someone else! I have a frankenstine look that I did on a girl in high school and she pulled it off better than most men! (LOL no offense!)  Thanks so much for watching! I really appreciate the support from ya! :)
