Dressing like a Corpse on a Halloween does not just need a dress and acting like a zombie when you walk. You have to look scary and the best way to look like a real Corpse bride is to put on some make-ups of bruises and bloods all over your body. Here are some techniques on how to achieve those Halloween bruises and faces.

Looking like a Corpse

A Corpse Bride would really compliment a woman better than any other Halloween costume. You just need a tattered white dress and paint yourself like a zombie. Use theatrical greasepaint and apply it to your face and lips. Then apply thick rings around your eyes using a dark eye shadow and eyeliner to make your eyes look bigger and wider. You can also add some fake blood and some bruises in some areas of your body.

Adding Fake Blood

You will need a corn syrup you found from the grocery store, food coloring of red and blue, and peanut butter. Add food coloring to your corn syrup until the desired color is achieved. If you want a thinner blood, add water but if you want your blood to be thicker use peanut butter as expander. But if you are allergic to nuts, you better not use the peanut butter at all; or just put on the areas away from skin. You may use chunky peanut butter to appear like it has blood clots in it.

Creating Fake Bruises

One of the basic make up tricks for Halloween Corpse Bride costumes is the bruising. You will need a brush, eye shadow make up of blue, grey and green colors, make up brush and a sponge. Wet an end of a make-up brush and apply a dot of blue eye shadow powder on the desired place. Then, use your finger to spread the blue eye shadow and add color gray. Then, using a brush, apply the color green eye shadow on the edges of your bruise. Then, use a sponge or your finger to spread the bruise and create a character.

Are you tired of wearing a Princess dresses and looking like everybody else? Princess characters are really hip every Halloween and other costume parties. Thus, making people want to wear them. I hope no one would argue when I say that they are already cliché. It is fun to have one princess in a party, but with everybody wearing it, there's no fun in that. Here are some unique Corpse Bride ideas that would surely catch people's attention this November.

1. The Wedding Gown.

The wedding gown is the most important props with the costume. There are a lot of different kinds of wedding gowns. They have different cuts and each cut presents a different character. If you wear a fluffy gown, you would look like princess - than a corpse in a bridal gown. What makes a wedding gown that of a Corpse is the simplicity, yet curvy cut of the wedding gown. If you have seen the Corpse Bride, she is actually just wearing a tube wedding dress with a slit. It is not those fluffy chiffon wedding dress.

2. The Hair

If you have a long dark colored hair, let it dangle. However, if you have the light colored hair, tie it up. It is good to have a lot of blue streaks in your dangling hair. You could use hair extensions that you could just pin in your hair and let it dangle. Avoid using temporary hair colors because it might stain your white gown.

3. The Props

The bride will never be complete without the bouquet. Black roses are rare, but they really make best props for the corpse bride. There are actually flower shops which sell black roses. You could even try the online costume stores which sell the complete ensemble of The Corpse Bride Costume.

Another Prop is the skeleton Dog. There are actually costumes which sells skeleton dresses for your puppies. If you happen to own a dog, it is better to complete your effect by getting those skeleton dresses for dogs in puppies which you could get from online costume stores or department stores.

Tim Burton's Corpse Bride

I love Tim Burton. He has the best imagination and is one of the most creative, and talented directors working today. Rarely does he disappoint and the Corpse Bride is no exception. Corpse Bride tells the story of Victor Van Dort (voice of Johnny Depp) a reluctant groom whose newly rich parents are searching for the one thing money can't buy - respectability. To reach their goal they're marrying their son off to Victoria Everglot, (voice of Emily Watson) a properly bred, well titled young lady whose old, highly respectable family is flat broke. Through a series of events and no fault of his own, Victor finds himself married to the Corpse Bride (voice of Helena Bonham-Carter), a pretty young woman who died under mysterious circumstances on the eve of her elopement.

Shot using stop motion animation, a painstakingly slow process that involves moving models in miniscule increments as you move from frame to frame, Corpse Bride is a refreshing break from the now all too common CGI. Not only are the images fun but the cast of characters from the bodiless bartender at the local hole in the wall in the land of the dead to the miniature pirate, are a source of great entertainment and good laughs throughout the movie. Actually in many ways they steal the show making the main characters seem a little dull and underwhelming.

Don't get me wrong, dull and underwhelming are relative in this movie. Johnny Depp's Victor Van Dort is an awkward, gangly, shy young man. His ineptness is humorous and endearing and you really hope things work out for him considering the set of parents he was given. Victoria Everglot is also shy and sweet and has parents that would make Cinderella's family look like saints. Their interactions are charming and engaging and to few for my liking. It would have been nice to see more of them together as the try to wade through the waters of an arranged marriage neither is quite ready for.

What doesn't work with Corpse Bride is that the story never quite gets off the ground. In many ways it felt like it was over before it began. Just when there is some real action brewing, we're already headed for the climax and the denouement is soon there after. An extra half hour of film time wouldn't have hurt. Also, you can point the villain out as soon as he is introduced. I know in animated films the good guys are supposed to look good and the bad guys bad but a little more subtle would have been nice. Not only was the villain predictable but the ending was as well. The movie left little in a way of a surprise ending, even in an animated movie it is nice to be a little surprised.

But those are minor complaints in a movie that was fun, imaginative and quite entertaining. Corpse Bride is good for the whole family, although it might be a little scary for kids younger than nine. So take the family and enjoy.
