Ideas for a unique vampiress costume?

This year I'm deciding to be a vampiress. But not your ordinary vampire. I decided to put a modern spin on the classic Dracula white-shirt-and-coat thing. I'm like, a modern-day female dracula.





Anyway, I decided to get a white collared short-sleeved shirt, pop the collar (the popped collar acts as Dracula's traditional giant collar), and I decided to wear like, a black, sleeveless kind of button-up vest, above the shirt. It's pretty nice. Then I bought a black fedora to go with it, and black pants. So it kind of looks like a dancer/musician type of vampire (I've already got the fangs). The problem is I don't think it looks vampyric enough. I mean, you'd get it if you see the fangs, but at the first glance you'd probably think that I was going as a dancer.





Any suggestions on how to make this look more modern-day vampire-ish? (Makeup? Additional apparel? etc.? Thanks!

Whiten your skin with special make-up (it's always sold in costume store and looks like foundation) and add fake blood to the corner of your mouth as if you were drooling. You can also draw two little holes on your neck as if you've been bitten. Use black khol liner to make your eyes more dramatic and paint your nails in black or dark red (or put fake long black nails). You can also try to emphasize dark circles with purple shadow, but it's a bit tricky to do (it always ends up looking like you've been punched)


Try anything that can make you "dead".





Have fun!

Reply:wear really heavy make up. And get a friend to be a DRACULA helper. Then you prolly cannot tell your a "dancer". You'll look more vamperiss. Also get a light weight cloak cape thing that is black. so cliche!!
Reply:That was my exact problem this year as well. I was told to make the make-up pale and eyes dark. But im naturally tanned and dark skinned I didnt want to cover that up with white. it turned out im now a french maid vampire. Well just a french maid with teeth really. Your outfit sounds great though wish id thought of the white shirt thing black waistcoat thing.


Id try and make the hair wild and the make up pale
