Hi Guys & Dolls!
It’s pretty easy to guess the inspiration behind this tutorial: Pop Art & Comics! This was a lot of fun to do and to wear- it’s visually striking and if you forget you’re wearing it and pass by a mirror you’ll get a ”whoa” moment! The makeup is so iconic and recognizable that it makes a perfect cheap Halloween costume. There are so many options with this: Dots or no dots, You can wear clothes you already own, use makeup you already have, and you don’t even have to wear the wig, I just thought it was fun!
My recommendations for a costume would be a pencil skirt, a cardigan, and a killer pair of heels or flats, and of course red nails! I used a smartphone “retro handset” as a prop and I think it really enhances the costume! DO a few tests with this before Halloween and you’ll surely be the most charming girl (or guy) that night!
The Wig is from Vougewigs.com
The Sweater is from Torrid.com
The Necklace is from Spirit Halloween
The Retro Handset I bought at FedEx- but it’s terrible (too quite to really use) but great for a prop!
Here’s what I used to create this tutorial
Mehron “basic” Paradise Palette-Water Activated Fave Paint
Milani Shadow Eyez “Aquatic Style” Metallic, Creaseless & Water Resistant Turquoise eyeshadow base
Sugarpill “Afterparty” and “Mochi” eyeshadows (Deep turquoise and Mint Blue)
Physician’s Forumula Eye Booster Liner “Ultra Black”
MAC Fascinating Eye Kohl (White pencil)
Too Faced Primed & Poreless Primer
Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer
MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation
Sugarpill “Porcelain” Lashes
Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara
Make For For Ever Flash Palette Red
Milani Color Play White Pen Liner
Happy Halloween!
I love it! You’re just amazing, Cora!
Thank you Alex!
wow, all you used for the foundation was the studio fix powder?! stunning. i thought for sure i missed a step because your face looked so flawless. is that the shade you normally use?
Wow, that’s really creative. I love your idea!
I did my own version of this last week to practice for halloween
Wow this is seriously amazing. LOVE your creativity
Loved this! Hey, what is that “just h2o” water bottle? Is it refillable? Where can I get one?
Holy crap that’s awesome!
Awesome!!!! You look just like a comic book girl!!!!…I totally agree with Alex, you are AMAZING!
Fantastic job doll! Always insperational
Just great! Totally reminded me of Roy Lichtenstein
Love it!
Amazing! You are so talented!
This is so awesome Cora! I was wondering if you know about Vampira aka Maila Nurmi, the campy 50′s character from the Ed Wood film. I haven’t found any makeup tutorials and I think a tutorial from you would be greattt and that you would also like it!
It’s CRAZY ! I love it !!!
I’m so excited to do this!
I have to walk to work, so I’ll probably do this without the dots, unless I can get a ride. I was also thinking of using a pair of colorful skinny jeans instead of a skirt.
I tired to recreate this and I can’t seem to get my eye makeup right,..Just love how you make it looks so flawless and effortless…
this tutorial was reallly really helpful and inspiring! Thank you!

Cora youve been such an inspiration and you made me want to make my own youtube channel granted I’ll never be quite as good as you but your super kind and you made me want to contribute to the world
I’m facing a dilemma: should I also cover the rest or my body (arms, legs) with red dots? I don’t know if it would make it look better or ruin it all ):
MAN!!!! you issssssss awesome! definitely going to do this!!!!!!!!!!!
Woowww you are amazing !! I’ve never seen a comic book make-up like that !
and you’re so pretty ! Kisses from Turkey
