{ candyland }

with halloween fast approaching and many friends still scrambling for inspiration, i thought it would be fun to revisit a few of my favorite costumes from years past:

{ clockwise from top left: princess (a classic), mariachi-meets-matryoshka (we were quite the ensemble cast), spy (black liquid liner + a trench coat was all it took!), post-op plastic surgery addict (last year's guise, that was really a fun one!) }

@ tiphaknee: doing crazy makeup is WHY i LOVE halloween!! for the 'post-op plastic surgery addict' look, i just went for a 'glamorous bruising' effect, and drew in a LOT of extra lip and galliano-esque eyebrows. it was so much fun!!
