Cool Homemade Mystique Costume

After a search for an awesome female villain, I decided on Mystique from X men because of her unique appearance. There aren’t many all blue characters out there! I love x men, and how mystique fights for the future of mutants.

I started this Homemade Mystique Costume with a gold body suit that I bought at a second-hand costume shop and spray painted it blue with two and a half bottles of spray paint. The material was fairly thick and stayed stretchy without cracking. Next I used sponges to do background scales on the suit. I used fabric paint to give it more texture and do the finer details of her skin.

The hair was relatively easy, I gelled it back and used a ton of hairspray so it would stay that way, then sprayed an entire bottle of red temporary hair color all over it. Next time I think I would start with white because my hair is so dark.

For my face I just used mehron blue face paint, let it dry, and used a liquid eye liner for the details. I used the face paint on my hands as well, with a bright blue nailpolish.

It was a super fun costume and I got a ton of attention in it!
