Edward Scissorhands - No need for special effects make up!

Edward Scissorhands - No need for special effects make up!
Well I've been playing around with Halloween costume ideas and Edward Scissorhands was probably one of the easiest to replicate PLUS there was no need for those "special effects" latex make up for his scars and everything I've used in my step-by-step is everything you can get at your nearest drug store. I am in no means a professional make up artist, just a young mom with TONS of unused make up that I have collected through the years and have lots of time to kill. I mean like LOTS of time.

NEEDED TOOLS:

Nontoxic kids glue stick
Lightest liquid foundation (any brand is fine but I personally prefer Loreal True Match)
Lightest power foundation (any brand is fine but I personally prefer Loreal True Match)
Lightest concealer
Matte brown, purple, black and white eyeshadow (if you don't have the matte color it's fine too but it will leave you a bit "shimmery")
Chapstick (not needed but it will help the purple stick to your lips)
A couple of make up brushes!!!



Are you ready? Have all the stuff on this list? Yeah? ALL RIGHT YOU'RE READY TO BECOME EDWARD SCISSORHANDS!



**** Just leaving this here but it would be awesome if you could take a few seconds and use that clicky mouse thingy and VOTE for this Instructable! Ton's of thanks to you all who did!

Step 1First step to all make up - Wash your face

First step to all make up - Wash your face
Make sure you have a clean face. You should not have any make up left on your face from the previous day.

You will need to pull out that handy dandy nontoxic glue for kids out right about now.

Glue down all your eyebrows and make sure it's nice and smooth.

You want to make sure that there are no stray eyebrows in this step!

You need to be careful doing this, or you might end up looking like Milton Jones...

Milton Jones *is* weirdly cute! He's also quite funny - we took our teen twins to see him and they roared with laughter.

Loving the instructable - fabulous job. I don't have any normal make-up at all, but I might dig out my face paints and try and recreate it that way, Cheers!

You have teenage twins?

Do you have any door-hinges left in your house??
Oct 21, 2011. 12:45 PMLizziefrog says:
The normal doors - mostly okay. Kitchen cupboards and the girls' bedroom door often need tightening.

The only thing that seems off is the eyes....doesn't he wear eyeliner? Maybe not. That is creepy good, though.
