Costume help
 

I was thinking about going as a stereotypical redneck.

I'm pretty close to being one myself, but was just wondering what people thought of when they think of what a redneck would look like.

Thanks for your thoughts!

you could go so many ways with this

My sister's in-laws. Sad, but true.

That's not helpful I know. Try going to a NASCAR event, that oughta do it.

Overalls, red checked flannel shirt, boots and a worn out hat. That should do ya!

A Mullet!
It's the quintessential redneck accessory. Business in the front, party in the back! :thumbsup:

Try to keep'um coming y'all. Thanks fur da help.

I've got my workboots, Wranglers, NASCAR t-shirt, John Deere cap, and oversize brass belt buckle. (Scary thing is, I own all this stuff already!) Not that I WEAR this stuff all the time. :eek:

Trying to figure out some more accessories.

Although the redneck zombie idea is growing on me! :hmm:

A mullet for sure. How bout a shotgun and a six pack, thats redneckish. And if your your going for the obvious redneck look, you can paint your neck red, doesnt have to be dark, maybe a light shade of red.

Hey does anyone know how to do the eye makeup if im going goth

Srry if im derailing your forum post.

there are lots of ways to do it.. just stay away from liquid eyeliner..it's a bitch to put on

Our RA last year dressed up as a redneck. It was, hands-down, the funniest halloween costume I have ever seen. Part of it was because of the fact "you would have to know the guy" and realize that yes, it's actually him dressed up as a redneck. The other part was the costume itself.


1. Fake Mullet. A MUST-have.
2. BULGING pants. Put a rolled up tubesock in your genital area (assuming you're a guy)
3. Cut-off, faded out blue jeans. Pants-turned-in-to-shorts. Makes it perfect.
4. Flannel shirt.
5. Hand out carrots if you are going to be giving out "candy."


The funniest part (and so wrong part) was that little kids were coming through our hall (our dormitory had a "Halloween Hall" sort of thing) and he was like "Hey ya'll!!!" and he would hand them carrots (extremely close to his crotch) and make them grab it. Then he would give them entire candy bars (the big ones) afterwards. I laughed 'til I cried.

Bad Teeth!! Go to your closest halloween store and get some fake bad nasty teeth... ;)

I'd have to nix the tubesock in the pants. I'm dressing up for the office and not a true Halloween party. Don't think my lady boss would go for that one. ;)

I was thinking about getting some black stuff and blacking out a few of my teeth. I hate wearing those fake teeth.

It's funny to think that when a person wears a flannel shirt, they're either a redneck or a tree hugger up here in the Pacfic Northwest! :crazy:

I'm on a really tight budget so I'm trying to do this with the least amount of expenditures. Really can't justify buying a fake mullett wig just for one day a year. Although if you looked at my high school graduation pic.....

Good idea on the cutoff jeans though. I think they should be about mid-calf and real ragged.

If you're going to dye your hair, do it first. Wash-out dye will drip off with sweat, so if you're going to be dancing, you might want to go with temporary that'll come out in a few washings.

Makeup: Put on any black clothing other than pants before starting unless you want to get white streaks on it. It's important to roll up your sleeves. Start with a base coat of white makeup. Use the kind that you have to apply with a sponge, it'll go on cleaner and more evenly. Use a dry sponge and don't pick up any more than you need to. It'll take a bit longer, but you'll get a much more even coat Don't get it on your eyelids, make sure you get your neck and ears. Next, using eyeshadow, apply a generous amount to your eye sockets and eyelids (A femal friend of mine in high school used hypoallergenic lipstick instead of eyeliner; it was moisture resistant and went on much easier.) If you want an added touch, use mascara or liquid eyeliner to draw in the vertical lines above and below your eyes. Make sure to use black eyeliner along the edges of your eyelids (apply with eyes closed!) Second to last, apply a nice coat of black, waterproof lipstick, press your lips together and slide them back and forth a bit to make sure it's evenly applied. Finally, add any fake or real piercings you want to use, and touch up the white makeup where you accidentally rubbed it off while doing the rest of the stuff. Any artistic touches you want to add can be done right on top of the white coat after it dries with an eyeliner pencil.

well i dont use white makeup (only cuz im not wanting to look like a harelquinn)im using foundation thats about 2 shades lighter then my skin, since my skin isnt the lightest of tones(i have this wierd yellow skin ).

Thanx for the eye tips, and my hair is already black, huzzah!!!!

I think I got a few ideas, we'll see what happens.

I'll try to post a pic for y'all to see.
