Sally (Nightmare Before Christmas) Makeup Look

This halloween, i decided i wanted to dress up as Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas. She is a totally adorable character after all, and i love the movie! :)
Since i was running out of Disney princesses to cosplay as (the only characters i can really pull off are maybe Tiana, Jasmine and Esmeralda..^^;) i figured since Sally's skintone is BLUE, it might work. :3
For the face/body paint, i used Kryolan aquacolor, and it worked PERFECTLY. i totally recommend this to anyone who needs a great long-lasted body paint. :) I actually used both transluscent powder AND "Model in a Bottle" makeup setting spray.
I did alot of sweating dancing at Club Skellington, and the paint didn't rub off or run or anything! So buy it! haha ^^
For this look, after painting myself blue, i drew on the black stitches with black eyeliner, drew my eyebrows on with a reddish eyeshadow using an angled brush to make them look sad (or as my mom put it, "pensive"..lol), put on a little bit of pink blush (Pur Minerals) and a dark pink lipstick by NYX ("Doll')  and used some long and lovely spidery lashes that i bought at Rite Aid. They were AWESOME! :D
And now for the pics!

i wore this a few times during the month of october, and i seriously think this costume is my new fav! <3
Hope y'all like it! ^__^

  1. Hi, Marissa
    You have hands down achieved the best Sally I have ever seen! Most ppl look silly, but you made it look pretty. I had a quick question though, did you paint the blue over your eyebrows then put the eyeshadow over that to get this look?
