Halloween 2013 Look #1 Marilyn Sugar Skull

HALLOWEEN IS HERE!!! One of my favourite months of the year for sure. Every year I do a series of Hair and Makeup costume looks, and this year is no exception! My first look is a half Marilyn Monroe/ half Sugar Skull look. This look was so much fun to create! For a costume idea to pair with this look you could use anything from a Marilyn style dress to a black dress of any style. I curled my hair with a 1 inch curling iron, and then backcombed with my fingers to create a messy texture but still keep it curly. I pinned up all of the length of my hair underneath in the back to create a short hair look. I added some large flowers that I purchased from the dollar store, they were full size silk flowers that I just cut the stems off and fastened with a bobby pin.
