Half Angel Half Devil costume FAQ
- How do I make a DIY half angel half devil costume?
- The easiest way is to buy a cheap white dress and a cheap red dress of the same style, cut them both in half vertically, and sew or fabric-glue the opposite halves together. Do the same with a pair of wings.
- Which side should be the angel and which side should be the devil?
- There is no official rule, but most people choose based on their hair parting or which side of their face they prefer to photograph.
- What makeup works best for this look?
- A split-face makeup look is highly effective. Use light, glittery, angelic tones on one side of your face, and dark, smoky, red tones on the other side, split cleanly down the bridge of your nose.
