Elegant Evil Witch: 2012 Halloween costume & makeup! Long velvet gown, Gothic womens costumes.
My favorite holiday, Halloween, is creeping closer… I’m so psyched that I’ve already started dressing up! Here’s a preview of my “elegant witch” costume, which I found at Halloween Express.
I’m quite picky about costumes, but I thought this one was remarkably well-designed. The long velvet gown with leg slit reminds me of Vampira. The purple shimmery cape adds a nice effect.
Cobweb tights (from the same store) are a must.
I’m not a fan of the stereotypical “wicked witch” look: green facepaint, bent nose and boils. Instead, I did dramatic purple-black makeup.
I outlined my lips in black, and filled them with lavender. I layered on eyeshadows, and used a black eyeliner pen to draw spider-like bottom lashes.
Witches are supposed to have black cats… but this yellow bear will do. Basil Farrow matched me with a purple mini-hat from my travel filmmaker, Melissa.
My Scottish Fold casts a spell of cuteness. (You can see more of his photos on his blog and Facebook.)
PS: Hugs for my friends at Glam Nail Studio, award-winning Japanese nail salon in Vancouver, for the kawaii nail art. It’s Bio Sculpture Gel (so it doesn’t damage my nails) with acrylic paint, gems and lace on top. I went with pandas because I’m making appearances in Hong Kong.
PPS: Thanks to Galz Love Music for interviewing me about my DNR music video debut.
Do you have a Halloween costume yet? Will you buy one, or DIY? What do you think of my witch interpretation?

How to Keep Colored & Dyed Hair Healthy: Qwiki video. Karmin G3 Salon Pro Flat Iron, Tourmaline Ceramic Straightener Review.
Hello, new hair color… raspberry and apricot! My super-stylist, Isolde, put in layers of Joico K-Pak Color Intensity. Parts are highlighted with bleach, and my natural black remains underneath.
For a pin-up style like this, you absolutely need a professional flat iron like Karmin G3 Salon Pro. I tested one from Beauty Stop Online, and the results are notably better.
A flat iron is one of the most versatile tools because it can shape, straighten and curl.
(I’m wearing a panda dress gifted by Bros Products, and zombie hair clips from Kreepsville 666.)
The Karmin G3 Salon Pro comes in a Gothic Rococo box and zip-up case. Basil Farrow sniffs it out.
Why is this a pro iron? It’s made with pure tourmaline ceramic plates, the best on the market. Tourmaline heats fast and evenly, and adds negative ions for smooth, sleek hair.
My hair requires high heat, so I was happy that the Karmin dials up to 460 F. The microchip temperature control maintains consistency and prevents damage.
Your hair is like Humpty Dumpty: once it’s damaged, you can’t put it together again. Especially for those with colored hair, I say invest in a quality hair iron with pure tourmaline, like the Karmin G3 Salon. You can find more pro haircare, nail and makeup products on Beauty Stop Online.
PS: People always ask me, “how do you keep your hair in good condition, when you always bleach and color it?” I explain in a Qwiki video: genetics, professional hair stylist, high-quality hair tools, and not over-washing. Watch my presentation above and on Qwiki.
I leave you with my Scottish Fold cat, Basil Farrow, in a sombrero. Ole!
