Q: im 13 and gonna be a zombie cheerleader how should i do my makeup? what do you think the costume should look like? what accessories should i have?!
A: You could go to a local thrift store and see if they have any old cheer uniforms for sale - find them good and cheap, then take them home and rip them up a bit. You could also smudge a bit of cocoa powder on it to look like dirt. With the make-up, you could go really simple and just get some white face make-up (you can find the cream/paint cheap at Wal-Mart or Target, but I really recommend Manic Panic pressed powder - it's like a regular make-up compact, only it's white. It looks better and is a lot easier to apply and wash off. Hot Topic carries it, as well as a lot of other online places, like VampFangs.com). Then you could just take black eyeshadow and do heavy circles around your eyes. I was a zombie football player (like from Beetlejuice) when I was about your age, and it went over really well. Oh, and have your hair in a ponytail, only make it a bit dissheveled, like you've been lying on it for a long time (you know, like you've been in a coffin?). Pull it loose and make it look messy. As for accessories, you HAVE to have pom-poms! Again, check Wal-Mart or Target, probably in the toy section. You should be able to find something fairly cheap there. Good luck, it sounds like an awesome idea! Have fun!
