Female Genie

Our neighborhood pub has a night set aside just for Halloween. That means costumes and this time for adults! If you need a costume for a special function, this Genie costume and makeup directions would be perfect.

Costume

  • Shiny purple bikini top. If you don't have one, I'm sure you could locate one at a Goodwill store.

  • Red "satin" pj bottoms. Attach a length of gold braid/tassels from a sewing shop for that extra bit of pizzazz.

  • A sheer scarf to cover the lower half of your face. To keep it in place, sew hair combs to the sides and then slide into your hair behind the ears.

  • Lots of gold bangles and a pair of gold dangling earrings.

  • Most genies go about barefoot, but a pair of ballet slippers might be a wise choise.

Makeup

You will find complete instructions for creating your "Genie Face" at the link below.

Hair

You could copy the style of the famous genie on tv and pull your hair up into a very high ponytail, or you could leave it long and swinging. Actually, you could work a little glitter gel into whatever length of hair you have for that magical touch.
