Who says the afterlife has to be boring and uneventful? With a bit of imagination, you can make a mummy costume fashionable and flirtatious. Instead of wearing thick, opaque bandages, opt for sheer or lacy gauze (scope out either at a fabric store) draped strategically on your body to reveal a hint of skin in all the right places—you can even have a pretty bra peeping through your body wrap. Try on sexy mummy makeup in our virtual makeup studio.
Style your hair as if you just had a romp in the coffin with a handsome vampire lover. You can create a few hickey-like bite marks on your neck using faux blood if you dare.
Mummy makeup all comes down to a two key points: a pale face and deeply hued lips. Think black, crimson or eye-popping shades of blue, purple or blood red. Eyes can be subdued in nothing but silver shadow, or full-on glam with smeared black rims and diamond-studded lashes. To give your skin a grayish cast that looks pretty, not ghastly, apply generous amounts of shimmery silver-based highlighter wherever the light hits the skin.
A modern mummy’s mane is sexy and tousled. Crimp it by sleeping in wet braids overnight, and tease it from the root so it takes on a life of its own. You can use a colored mascara to create eerie blue or purple highlights that easily wash out the next day. –Stephanie Simons
