Here is the fourth and last DIY Halloween costume idea I will be posting this year! Scratch that, I will also be posting photos of my REAL costume, but you will have to wait until next week to see it ;).

Anyways, back to this costume: The Evil Medusa!! I have to say, out of all the costumes I've posted this year, this is by far my favorite!

Clothing:

You will need a white or beige dress for this costume. If possible, try to use a dress that is flowy (invented word!) and soft (think Greek Goddess). You will also need metallic sandals, like these gladiator wedges I am wearing.

Accessories:

I would recommend wearing gold accessories with this costume in order to get that "Greek goddess" feel. If you have two cuff bracelets, that is even better! And if you want to go ALL out, try buying a snake ring, necklace, earrings, or whatever; that is very Medusa-ish (invented word!)

Hair:

The hair is by far the most important part of this costume. You will need bobby pins and rubber snakes (which you can find in craft stores or Walmart/Target) to do this hairstyle. Here is how to get this look:

Make several braids all over your head (I made about 8-10 braids).
Use bobby pins to pin them all over your head. Don't worry if it looks kind of messy, that is the point! You want the braids to have that snake appeal.
Then use bobby pins to pin the rubber snakes all over your head! The more, the merrier ;)

Makeup:

To finish this costume off, I decided to wear bold purple eyemakeup. I first dabbed lilac colored eye shadow all over my eyelid, and then I outlined my eye with a purple eyeliner. I made sure to make the outline of my eye very thick and with a flick on the outer corner of my eye. I love how it looks!

There you have it folks! Now go forth and turn people to stone with just one stare!

Hope you are all enjoying the Halloween specials on my blog! There are still a couple more to come ;)
