Not going to be around much over the next couple of days

[cupcake_goth]

Busy busy busy. Halloween-y stuff (yay!) and work stuff. (Y'know, for someone currently with a beyond-nebulous job description, I have gotten a lot of work dropped on my head. I am not amused by this in the slightest.)

Thank you for all the nice comments on the photos, everyone!

- Mini tricorn by Peacock Blue Design.
- Black lace & pink ribbon jabot by Louise Black.
- Pink & black underbust corset by Blooddrop Clothing.
- Bustle skirt(s, one short worn over one long) from Retroscope Clothing.
- Jacket purchased from one of madamekat's clothing sales, with the buttons changed to pink ones by me.
- Pink & black skull cameo made by me.
- Pink & black batty hand mirror made by me from a thrift-store mirror and some bits and bobs I had around the house.

The photos were taken on the UW campus.

In other random news, I'm considering breaking down and buying a compact of the palest MAC StudioFix I can, because I need to be extra-pale for Halloween and I do NOT want to go near any of the costume shops at this point.

NC15 is the palest StudioFix they make anymore. They discontinued the NC10 even in Canada now. :(

Maybe I shouldn't have used up all of my N1 years ago.

or try NW15 - on me (at least), the NC15 is a bit yellow.
L'Oreal also makes a nice powder for the True Match line, the lightest shade is Alabaster.

Is baby powder either lightly dusted over the top or combined with your usual stuff too white?

[cupcake-goth.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've got white powder to dust over things. I just don't have any heavy-coverage foundation, and going super-pale (but not whiteface-pale) demands heavy-coverage stuff.

I'm going to check with Plei and see if she has anything in her collection that I can borrow for the day.

Ah, that makes sense, i was picturing something different, now i think i know what you're going for. I got nothing.

if you need something from Display and Costume, I have to head there in an hour ANYWAY. As long as you don't need it before TOMORROW, I can get it for you. Just let me know.

I was thinking it would be awesome if you'd show up to work on Halloween in jeans and a sweatshirt. :P

I know that sounds insane but the dyper cream makes you look so pale but at the same time dose not make it look like you wearing makeup.I found this out by a fluke ,I had gotten for my dry dry hands as baby cream is the best because its not fulled with tons of stuff and when I put it on my hands it made them so pale. I tryed it on my face and was shocked with how naturally pale I looked.. and the great thing about it is it smells really good and your skin dose not brake out and it washes off very easily at the end of the night,,

This is what it looks like on skin
