Stunning Home Made Avatar Makeup


Most of you are aware that Mr Costumes has got the latest and greatest Avatar Costumes in stock recently. The tricky part is doing the makeup but luckily I found a whole bunch of amazing examples and tutorials on Youtube. There are some seriously talented people out there and you'll clearly see that in the videos below. Some of these folks spent nearly all day preparing this makeup!


This video was painstakingly put together by youtube user FanzReviews. This costume was done for Halloween and he even converted a Nerf gun into a replica from the movie. This kid is on his way to a fun career in the movie industry no doubt, and we can't wait to see what he does next season.



Youtube user dope2111 was, in my opinion, the best female makeup job I saw throughout my browsing. She doesn't go into too much detail on how she did it all, but she did say it wasn't too hard to do. The next Youtube user I have on the list was kind enough to show everyone how to do the makeup step by step.



This video shows you how to do the makeup with certain makeup. This video by Youtube user weepingangel1230 is sped up so you can see the entire process in just about seven minutes. There are other videos on Youtube if you prefer to hunt one down that isn't sped up like this video tutorial.

1920s Costumes Include Gangster Girls and Flapper Dresses

1920's costumes are as hot as ever, and celebrate the romanticized era of the roaring 20s. From prohibition and speakeasies to automobiles and radios, the roaring 20s marked a pivotal generation of consumerism, excitement, luxury, and discontinuity.

Prohibition gave way to organized crime and later the Italian mafia and other gang outfits. Gangster costumes are designed after the gangsters of the 20's, with pinstripes and fedoras. Sexy gangster costumes give a heart stopping sexy twist to a classic favorite, with collars and wrist cuffs, short miniskirts, and sexy jacket tops. There is a sexy allure to a woman dressed as a gangster girl. Gangster girls carry power with every sexy step, and every action is backed by the don. With the rising popularity of social games like Mafia Wars, gangster costumes are also a great way to steal the attention of a game-obsessed lover. Put a hit out on your man and role play as a gangster girl.

Flapper dresses are another popular style for a 1920's costume. Women experienced more freedom in the 1920's, as well as now having the right to vote. Flapper costumes include fun fringes, sequins, flapper hats, and even long pearl necklaces and feathers. Dancing was revolutionized with well lit dance halls, and the rise in tap dances, foxtrots, the Charleston and more, and flapper dresses gave a bold proclamation of a willingness to have fun and dance.
