Tim Burton's Mrs Lovett (or at least...an attempt).

I went to a fancy dress party last night, and the theme was 'films', so I decided to go as Mrs Lovett from Sweeny Todd.

After looking at pictures from the film, I decided to go for a grotty, half dead, dirty look. Attractive.

So...here is my attempt:

And please excuse the weird sex face on this one, I was trying to show the cheeks and the necklace!

And this was my outfit:

I realise my boobs are practically under my chin, and you can see my bra, but the literally wouldn't fit into my corset! Boooo.

Used
Eyes:
UDPP
Painterly paint pot
Brule e/s
Charcoal Brown e/s
Clinique mascara

Face
VERY heavy foundation! Studio Fix Fluid, NC15
Cheeks-Charcoal Brown e/s

Lips
Concealer (urgh, I know I'll probably burn in hell for it, but it was for the outfit!)

Anyhow, constructive criticism would be fantastic.

Your hair is a bit too vibrant for the dreariness of that film (which I am sure you know)..but I think you still pulled off the look spectacularly.

LOVE the outfit!

Haha, yeah, it is a bit too bright. I put talcum powder in the roots, to make it more muted, and it did work, but for some reason, my hair always shows up really bright in pictures! Heh.

Well you have gorgeous hair...so I wouldn't worry about it.

You look fierce! I would have smoked up the eyes a little more with black liner and added some fleshpot lipstick but I think this looks awesome as is too

Yeah, looking at pictures from the party (where I look God-awful, hah) I kind of wish I'd defined my eyes a bit more, but at the time, I was going for more a hollowed dirty look, as opposed to smokey, if that makes sense?
I totally agree with you though.

Hah, I haven't got Fleshpot lipstick. The name really made me go 'URGH' (srsly, the most disgusting name ever. Urgh), and I'm not really a fan of skin coloured lips anyway. Haha.

This is a great look...love the movie. I do agree with dancer thugh...some dingy black-brownish smokey eye work would have been great. But I totally get the feel from what you've done.
