#robot makeup

Last night, I did a costume and makeup test for my fanbot Sparky! I tried doing the makeup for the first time ever and it was a bit messy but I had fun! I didn’t have purple makeup so I used the blue makeup my mom is going to use for her walter worker costume. I also don’t have any sponges so I had to use paintbrushes for everything.

The vest is missing a button, my gloves are too big, my wig needs a bit of maintenance since I just got it, I wasn’t sure what I was doing with my eyebrows the whole time, and on top of that I have a skirt dilemma.

One skirt is shorter and fits on me well, (if a little tight) and has no unnecessary details aside from fake pockets. The other skirt is longer, has more fabric, has a texture I enjoy and quite deep pockets but it is too loose around my waist to the point where I worry it’s going to fall off, and it’s got the buttons down the middle that I’m not sure I’m in love with.

I also messed around and took some photos with my favorite purple coat to see if that looked good with the outfit.

Eagle eyed viewers will notice a Mechanisms pin on my sleeve; I want to get a Steam Powered Giraffe pin for my other sleeve if I do end up going with the coat look. If I do, I will have to decide if I want to put the switch under or over the coat.

Now for a more in-depth view of what I did for my makeup, I took photos of myself without the wig in the way. It looks a lot messier, so be warned

I will probably be more thorough when I am able to get contacts but as it is I was just trying to get a feel for what I could do and what I would want my makeup to look like.
