I actually decided last year that I would be Mystique for 2012 Halloween. I start preparing in April of 2012. I started with a blue full bodysuit. I then purchased the red wig, contacts, and Fila Skele-toes. I searched as many Mystique costumes and videos that I could to determine what would work best for … Read more
Like most people, I wanted to do something extra special for Halloween and I have always been a fan of making my own costumes for fancy dress events. It was actually through the brilliance of this site that I saw the processes some people went through to create a ‘Mystique’ costume, one of my all … Read more
I was Mystique and my boyfriend was Professor X. We took an old wheelchair and spray painted it silver and put the X wheels on it. For Mystique, I didn’t plan on painting my whole body blue so I went off of the old school jumpsuit she wears in XMEN first class. I got a … Read more
Originally this year I wanted to be Jessica Rabbit from who framed Roger rabbit. But in April I went to a cancer fundraiser and spontaneously decided to shave my head (I raised 1051 dollars in less than 5 min). But this caused me to have to change my idea of what I wanted to be … Read more
This is how I made the coolest homemade Mystique Halloween costume: 1. I cut out “scales” from blue craft foam. I used scrap booking punches and did some freehand cutting with scissors. 2. I then used Fabri-Flex glue to glue the “scales” onto blue tulle fabric which were pre-cut to fit the areas I wanted … Read more
Last year I decided to be Mystique from X-Men. I didn’t just want to paint myself blue and wear a bikini though. I wanted to be HARD CORE and make prosthetic pieces and look like Rebecca Romijn in the movies. After all, I was going to Heidi Klum’s Halloween Party in Las Vegas and only … Read more
This Homemade Mystique from X-men Halloween Costume was a lot of fun! I had the idea last year but I just couldn’t figure out the paint. This year, I was adamant. My friend had just come back from Vegas and he bought a bunch of MAC body makeup, and just happened to have a blue … Read more
I started out making my Homemade Mystique Halloween Costume by ordering a blue body suit online. When it came in, I set to work making myself scaly by covering the suit darker blue puffy paint. This took a few days, as I had to do parts with the suit on and then do the complete … Read more
I’ve been DYING to create a Homemade Mystique Halloween Costume and finally decided to go for it this year. I’m not the greatest at sewing, so I had a bodysuit made to my exact measurements. I needed the suit to fit really tightly so as to give the impression of body paint and not a … Read more
To make this Homemade Mystique Costume I first started with a Royal Blue leotard I bought from the We Love Colors website, as well as the socks. I know most women who attempt this costume go for the more nude look by painting their body or exposing their chest. I was not down for that … Read more
Every year when choosing a costume I look for a strong, kick ass, female character. Preferably a Villain but not exclusively. I was in my office thinking up characters and came across Mystique. I automatically knew this was the character for me. Now once I told anyone that I was doing Mystique they all gave … Read more
I purchased a royal blue morph suit online and cut the head along the seam and sowed at the neckline. Then drew onto the costume segments which were to be scale effect to the body with chalk. I glued sequins individually onto the top half of the breast design. This took around 2 hours! Then … Read more
