Zombie prom queen

1. Apply eyeshadow

Take a matte dark gray eyeshadow, apply it all over your lid and blend it out so it looks messy and zombie-like.

Also, apply it under your eyes in the shape of an under-eye circle. Then take a matte dark purple color and use that under your eyes as well to make your face look hollowed out and dead.

2. Contour your face

Contour the sides of your nose with purple eyeshadow and blend it out.

Contour your face with dark gray eyeshadow. Put it in the hollows of your cheeks and along your jawline as well as your hairline. Rub the contour in with a beauty blender.

3. Apply eyeliner

Take a black eyeliner pencil, line your upper and lower lash lines and blend it out for a smoky effect. Put black eyeliner on your lips and blend it out with your finger.

4. Add fake blood

Paint fake blood on your face so that it looks like you have a head wound. Also, put some around your mouth area.

5. Add eyeshadow to your chest

Put gray eyeshadow around your chest area to make it look dirty and hollowed out.

6. Style hair

Air dry your hair and backcomb it to make it look messy.

7. Make a sash

For the look, I’m wearing a tiara for the prom queen as well as a sash. To make the sash, all you need is a thick piece of ribbon, measure it out to the length you want, then glue the two ends together.

Then, take some iron-on letters, stickers, or felt letters, spell them out to ‘Prom Queen’, and stick them on. 

As for the rest of the costumes, you just need to put on a fancy dress and some heels.

Cactus

1. Sew pipe cleaners to the shirt

Cut some white pipe cleaners up into thirds. Then fold them into a u-shape, take a needle and thread and sew them onto the shirt.

Sew around them 2-3 times so that they are secure. Do this all over the front of the shirt.

2. Add flowers

Take some fake flowers and separate them from their stems. Attach some glue to the back of each flower and stick them all around the shirt.

I’m wearing the shirt as a dress, and I also put some green leg warmers on my arms. Here, I’m moving my arms in cactus-like motions.

Majestic unicorn

1. Make the horn

Take some white felt and trace onto it a unicorn horn (with flaps on the bottom) and cut it out. Apply glue to one side of the horn and roll it up.

2. Decorate the horn

Take some thin pink ribbon and wrap it around the horn to add more decoration. 

3. Cut out the ears

Trace some stencils of unicorn ears onto the white felt. Then trace the inside of the ears on pink felt and cut everything out.

4. Attach to the headband

Put some glue on your headband and use the flaps on the horn to glue it in place.

Glue the pink part of the ear onto the larger white part. Apply some glue on the headband and the back of the ears and fold the ears around the headband so the two sides meet.

For the outfit, I’m wearing a rose gold sparkly t-shirt, a white skater skirt, and some pink hairspray on my hair. 

To complete the look, I stapled some tinsel to the back of my skirt to make it look like a tail.
