The Sanderson Sisters Family Halloween Costume was my favorite we’ve done so far! We had so much fun with our girl squad (as Iris called us). I loved spooking out lots of people with my creepy Winifred faces. Seriously, a few people screamed and walked away from me, others squirmed. I’ve been preparing for this costume since 1993. Iris told everyone for the entire month of October that she finally convinced Dave to be Mary Sanderson. Haha!
Doing Winifred Sanderson makeup was so much fun. The wig left an indention and a headache once I took it off late that night, but totally worth it. We love the capes so much, we hang them every year as part of our decor.
Winefred Sanderson Makeup:
I used my regular Ilia foundation and then added a light layer of white facepaint mixed in. I used this mixture on my face, lips, and eyebrows to try and cover them as much as possible since Winefred doesn’t have any eyebrows.
For my eyes, I used red, dark brown, orange, and black eyeshadows (a combo of this Naked Eyeshadow Palette and this Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette) with these KISS lashes. Finished with eyeliner on the lower lid and liquid liner on my top.
For the lips, I used this Sephora red liquid lipstick.
And for the classic Winifred flushed cheeks, I used this Nars blush in a circle shape instead of where I’d usually place my blush.
For Winifred Sanderson’s nails, I used these KISS coffin shaped french tip nails.
Sarah Sanderson Makeup:
I darkened her brows with dark brown eyeshadow. I used the same shadow to make her wart on her chin.
On the outer corner of her top lid I used a very dark grey and then on the bottom lid I used a dark brown.
For Sarah’s dark pouty lip I used this Kat Von D liquid lipstick in Exorcism.
Mary Sanderson Makeup:
For my husband to be Mary Sanderson, I used black eyeshadow on his upper and lower lids and a brownish red lipstick applied messily.
