Bonnie & Clyde Costume

My own partner in crime and I went as Bonnie and Clyde post being shot this year. The idea came from researching famous male/female duos, in which Bonnie and Clyde showed up. We've always been fans of making things our own and making things bloody so we decided to go with B&C post being shot to death. To make this costume, I went to a local TJmaxx and bought a vintage looking sweater and a long pencil skirt for myself, using a wait belt, t-strap heels and a berret I already owned. My boyfriend got a simple white button down, a fedora, and used a pair of black pants, suspenders and dress shoes he owned. To make the bullet holes on the clothing look realistic, we started by cutting out a hole and then torching the edges and soaking them in a reddish brown paint mix. We also concentrated black directly around the wounds to account for a more burnt look. We then took more black paint and dirtied the rest of the clothes up just so we looked overall a little more wounded. For the makeup we took SFX wax and built it up around our skin to form a thick circle resembling a bullet wound. We then painted the inside of said wound with black face paint and dripped fake blood coming out of our wounds. With some black and purple eyeshadow we bruised those areas of our face surrounding the bullet holes and finished up the look with some cigarettes and guns.
