Halloween ideas

With Halloween upon us, I've been trying to think of some fantastic last minute ideas for a costume. I'm willing to put some time into it, and I've scrounged up a few really awesome tutorials.

So this guy's series of tutorials is pretty amazing. He did everything from the 7 deadly sins, to a broken doll, to Heatherette 24-hour party people, to the unzipped look! I wish this would look as sweet on me, but I have a feeling the glasses will take away from the look.... :D

Then I found this video with the full costume tutorial from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. As always, the Mad Hatter is a favorite character of mine, but all of the store bought hats always looked so cheesy... This video was so inspiring for something that looks a little more authentic. One just has to excuse the creator's terrible acting skills... And maybe take a make up lesson from the guy above. But the costume is AMAZING!!!! :D

So part of me wants to go the more beautiful and delicate route. I found this mermaid makeup tutorial (this is the 4th part, but I thought it would be best to see how she did the scales.. So cool!
