Cosplay Complexion

I thought to myself that if I couldn't think of anything cute and legitimately alternative/boho-chic that I could go ultimate white girl basic boho. So I did my best. 

I reasoned that if my outfit was going to be sub-par I'd go all out and try some cool boho make-up. I don't own any of those metallic temporary tattoos so I made some shapes on my face with a white eyeliner pencil and covered that with gold glitter. It actually worked out pretty well.

I used lots of browns and golds as well as a little bit of dusty pink to do my eyes. I also lined the top waterline and half of the bottom one, rubbing them to smudge them slightly and make them less of a complete line. 

In the first photo (of just my make-up) I wasn't wearing my lipstick yet, but I wore Babette by Lime Crime to finish off my look.

Tossing on every gold, bronze or turquoise embellished bracelet I owned, a few necklaces and most of my silver ring collection (including a mood ring for ultra-boho reasons) I felt like I'd managed to accessorise pretty well... but I added a green feather earring in case!

With my white off-the-shoulder dress and middle part (with obligatory random braid through my hair) all I had left to organise was shoes. 

Here's the real kicker, I ended up wearing some killer tan coloured wedged boots (see the last photo!) and they were perfect, so good for topping off the rest of my look. Then I leant down to talk to someone at the party about an hour in and was very glad I packed a pair of black ballet flats in my bag because the wedge completely snapped off the base of the boot! 

Anyway, I thought I did okay for such a last minute look. What do you think? 

I may have been disorganised but I never back down on a costume party theme. 

I hope I didn't bore too many people with this post. Let me know!
