Happy Halloween, y’all! As you know, it’s my favorite holiday, and as always, I had to go all out. I recently became obsessed with American Horror Story. Like,ย really obsessed. For a while, I was binge watching a season every weekend. (I’m actually re-watching the Coven season while I’m writing this.) So naturally, I needed to be an American Horror Story character for Halloween. The only question was, which one should I be? After considering Moira with her gunshot wound, several coven members, and the Black Dahlia, I finally made my decision.
Shachath
You probably know her as the Angel of Death from American Horror Story: Asylum. Shachath is played by the incomparable Frances Conroy. The moment I saw her wings unfold, I fell in love.
The Dress
As you can probably tell, I have waaaayy too much clothing. Hell, I turned my bedroom into a closet. Naturally, my ridiculous wardrobe already had the perfect dress: Pinup Girl Clothing’s Birdie dress in black. The retro style fits perfectly with Shachath’s outfit on the show.
The Accessories
It’s of course impossible to be the angel of death without wings. I tried my local Halloween stores and went home empty-handed. Eventually, I settled on this pair from Amazon. I also tossed on a pair of long black gloves for effect.ย To complete the look, I found a feathered fascinator with a birdcage veil.
The Makeup
Here are all of the products I used:
- Beauty Bakerie – Cake Mix, Cake Face Concealer, and Flour
- Anastasia Beverly Hills – Dipbrow Pomade and Pro Pencil
- Sugarpill – Oh Honey! Palette
- Storybook Cosmetics – Wizardry and Witchcraft Palette
- Fenty Beauty – Flyliner
- Spectrum Collections Karen False Lashes
- Colourpopย Ultra Matte Lips in Mamacita and clear brow gel
