Cleopatra Halloween Costume: You Can Be Powerful And Sexy This Halloween

Creating a Cleopatra costume is sure to turn heads and make you the belle of the ball. This costume is extremely flattering to women no matter what their shape or size. To achieve a polished, dynamic appearance, you'll require the following, black wig, white tunic, Egyptian collar, black eyeliner, sash belt, Rubber Snake, 2 upper armbands, sandals, dangling earrings, and 2 Wide Gold cuffs.

If you are not graced with natural shoulder length raven hair, then you will need to buy a wig. Black wig that is on your neck and shoulders. However, if there are none left in stock, don't worry as you can buy a longer black wig and cut it yourself. To trim the wig, cut it carefully strand by strand on a dummy head. Have someone else trim the wig. Don't try to cut the wig without a visual reference to look to. For best bargains on the hair piece, try a costume shop rather than a beauty supply and save a ton of money. Wigs for costumes are built to last for years and years.

When selecting the dress, a lightweight cotton tunic works best. Ancient Egyptians did not wear sweeping hemlines to the floor they wore white or off-white and it should reach down to your mid calf area. To give the garment a feel of authenticity, try buying a size larger which will make the dress hang loosely adding a swish when you walk. Your belt should be a sash that wraps around, with a dangling tassel. Dark colors work best for the belt as they add dimension to your waistline.

Cleopatra costumes should be completed with neutral-colored open-toe sandals. Sandals from the Ptolemaic period were not unlike modern-day shoes, so this accessory is easy to be fitted. Add some humour to your look - find a rubber snake to bring with you; if you don't want to cary it around all night you can always pin it to your dress or coil it around your wrist or ankle.

Heavy black eyeliner is the key to any Cleopatra makeup. To achieve this look, opt for a liquid liner rather than charcoal; you will have much more control over the makeup so it doesn't smudge or make you look like a panda. Eyeliner should be applied in thick layers that follow the shape of your eyes above and below, with a trailing edge leading away in straight lines from the edges of your eyes. A trick to keep your make-up looking fresh is to apply a foundation to your face and set it will powder. Putting a good base on for your makeup will keep your eyeliner looking great.

The kind of ornament you would require happens to be broad gold hue cuffs and flattering Upper Arm clasps. You can either purchase these or make your own. You dont want to cut off circulation, so pick a size that will stay in place and not slide down, nor cut off blood flow. Available in Any Size, the Egyptian style collar will help accentuate any queen of noble origin. For the best fashion statement make your earrings should be dangly and colorful. Wearing gold tones having colored stones matching the colors of collar and cuffs of yours would be worth trying. And, finally, this is one outfit that works well with anklet bracelets. Gussy up your feet with one or more choice ankle bracelets. It's better if they tinkle.
