Female Edward Scissorhands Costume

I really didn’t want to follow the popular trend and be a sexy superhero or villain, so Edward Scissorhands it was.

I bought a black corset that had buckles, and a black wig and liquid skin (for the scars).
I made my own Scissorhands out of foam cardboard and a pair of black gloves.
I traced the outline of big scissors onto the foam cardboard cut and super-glued them to the gloves.

The makeup was the fun part! I put Elmer’s glue on my eyebrows, letting it dry between two coats.
I used a foundation that was a little lighter than my complexion all over my face, lips and neck area.
To make a sad face, I used dark plum eye shadow and white eyeliner to make my eyes pop.
The scars were quite easy with the liquid skin. Paint it on the areas you want a scar.
Line lips with eyeliner and add eye shadow color in just the middle part of them to make it appear like you have pouty lips.
Use dark blush to bring out your cheekbones. And you’re done.
