The past few years i’ve noticed that company Dinner & Dances have become almost a competitive sport here in Singapore, which has been pretty amazing to see as a makeup artist.
SO you have a D & D theme but no idea what to wear?
You might not need a full costume at all.
A strong makeup look can absolutely transform clothes you already own.
One of my recent clients came to me with a blue tuxedo, top hat and a time-travel theme. He sent me a Chat GPT generated image and asked for my opinion.
After discussing a few other character ideas, we created a Darth Maul-inspired masquerade look designed around his outfit rather than doing a literal cosplay.
The result?
He won Best Dressed that night.
His friend (a regular cosplayer) even told him it was the best Darth Maul makeup he’d seen 🤩
And the whole look took 1 hour 20 minutes.
Makeup can absolutely be the costume.
This client did not want to deal with and annoying rubber mask or a scratchy rental costume or something cheap from taobao, he wanted to be comfortable in his custom tux but still look stunning the whole night in photos.
A suit can become a demon, villain, undead gentleman or fantasy character.
TBH You don’t need to come to me with the entire concept figured out either.
Send me your,
D&D theme
outfit
selfie
character ideas or references
…and I can help develop a look that works with your face, vibe, outfit and how dramatic you want to go.
