I made this Mystique from X-Men Halloween costume 2 years ago. I put it twice and I won twice! First place $250 one year. Last year i went to an other bar(!!!) won second place $300.
That’s a paying costume! It’s worth the time, the effort and the cash. I spent $140 for the contact lenses! It took about one month to build this costume.
I bought a foam head to create the forehead mask. I made it with liquid latex and the spikes are Fimo paste cover up with latex. I did as well for the bra and pants. To get the same color as my skin would be I colored every piece of the costume with the blue make up so that there would not be any differences. Then I sprayed some transparent glue that we use in artistic work to fix the color in place.
The funniest part of that costume is that the first time I wore it in the bar my purse was stolen. I ended up at the police station in the middle of the night to complete the information – dressed up as Mystique and, believe me, the cops’ jaws dropped to the floor!
Be careful on Halloween in bars. Long capes can hide almost everything including you purse!
Which contact lenses did you use? Did they hurt your eyes at all>=?
that’s so awesome! love the costume!
where did you get the yellow eyes?
