Blue Devil

I think this costume came out of seeing the sky blue variety of the Ben Nye grease paint and really liking the color. As I was inventing the costume myself I could for once just go with it and improvise.

On the make-up side I added the good old trusty foam latex ears, my first ever set of fangs made by Victor, and a set of nice cinema secrets woochie horns. The sky blue is complemented by a darker nuance for shading. For the hair I have tried some weird make-up sticks, which were messy but worked well on dark hair, and a spray color which was fast and had better coverage on blond hair.

Since this costume is mostly make-up, The clothing is rather simple. A vest with buttons, a black coat and a pair of black pants.

The costume is finished off by my "Boom Stick", a very amusing item I picked up in a halloween store. It is a plastic skull stuck on a plastic wood stick, with some fabric hanging off it, A small button is hidden on the base, and when you press it, the skull lights up and a thunder noise is heard. Hours of fun!
