I attended for the first time a christmas party from another institution besides UST, this was Cardinal Santos Surgery Christmas Party and it was titled: "Cirque du Surg". Carnival was the theme of the christmas party.
Looking at carnival costumes, I would really love to be a ringmaster or a showgirl with all the glitters, sequins, wig and makeup! But with less than 24 hrs to prepare, I had to do with what I have in my closet.
Then this came to the picture:
This is a more feasible costume.
Key elements to this mime costume:
- black and white striped top
- plain black pants/shorts/skirt
- Mime Makeup
Add-ons you can do to spice up your get-up
- Black hat (preferably bowler hat or beret) but any plain black hat may do. As long as not the cowboy hat.
- white gloves
- Red scarf/handkerchief to use as scarf
- black suspenders
Here's what I did with the mime costume:
I borrowed my mom's striped top and used my regular black pants.
Here's my makeup:
Ideally you should have a lighter base, around 2 shades lighter than your usual shade or white foundation. But I don't have both, so I just used my regular bb cream and concealer to hide my pimples. I drew a diamond shape with the upper half in my upper eyelid and the lower half with the lower eyelid using my black liquid eyeliner. I extended my eyeliner like a cat-eye but longer and added a dot to each. Then I tripled the layer of my blush on, since mimes have rosy cheeks and dark lipstick.
The best of all, ENJOY!
