Halloween-Tutorial: Alexis "The Beast" Carrington

I’ve uploaded a new Video to my YouTube-Channel and this is the very first of my planned “Halloween”-Tutorials. I don’t know how many additional Tutorials I’m able to create, because of a constant lack of time. I hope there are going to be at least 2 more “Halloween”-Looks, since I have a couple of nice ideas made up in my mind…

Since I’m a huge fan of old “soap-operas” I wanted to do a Halloween-Tutorial inspired by one of the television legends and my pick was Alexis Carrington from Dynasty. You know the good old “Beast”, that basically every soap opera somehow includes to their cast, but in my opinion there was never a “Beast” as good as Alexis.
Even though no one really likes the mean and teasing characters, they always have their fans and are still unforgotten.

Make-up wise this Tutorial is showing the typical 80’s look. I would like to describe it as “TOO MUCH OF EVERYTHING” and definitely not wearable anymore for everyday, but fun to wear for special occasion like a Costume-Party and Halloween.

Here you have the pictures I used as an inspirational help…




And here you have the sneak peek of the video, showing you how to do the “Alexis-look”… (if you want to see the entire video, please visit my YouTube-Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/PreciousLilies?feature=mhum )
