MUSIC: When We Were Lovers - Studio Killers; Lover to Lover - Florence + the Machine; MANiCURE - Lady Gaga; In Tokyo - Studio Killers I planned on doing a voice over on this, but of course my computer threw a fit. So here's the nearly 3 hour process shrunk down into 13 some minutes! F.A.Q. 1- Where did you get your ears? I got mine at a local costuming shop for under $10. They came green, I had to paint them grey. They're Woochie's "Troll Ears" (haha) and most costume/makeup shops carry this brand. And yes, I put them on before the rest of my makeup, although I forgot to paint the inside of my ear grey. 2- How did you do the wig? With a cheapy I got on eBay (which backfired in the form of a REALLY small cap); Style it on a head, brushing is the key; brush it as high up as it will go. This is a twist bun, but there are 1002 some odd bun tutorials out there - look it up. The real trick is to leave a 'poof' under the bun to give your head some room. Also, use the hair sticks how they're supposed to be used : bun leverage! 3 - Yes, I made the entire costume. It's all broadcloth, even the handmade bias. 4 - The horns and hairsticks are made of Sculpy and were made by the lovely candyven0m on tumblr!! (The Porrim in the pictures here) She is open to commissions and her work is stunning, so check out my rad moirail !! 5- yes I know my horns are crooked in the pics - this is my fault for being in such a rush and has nothing to do with the quality of the horns 6- The grey on my body is fabric paint, not makeup. This method is tricky and I do not recommend it to beginners. Contact me for more info on this method.
