Gasparilla, Is your Costume and Hair Ready?

The fun and excitement is in the air for Gasparilla, but are you ready?  Have you ordered your costume or had it made?  Is you hair on point to be the best looking male or female Pirate, Wench or Swabbie? No matter the look you
chose, you still need to make sure your look is on point.

After many years of going to parties and Gasparilla events, it never fails people decide to cover their own hair with wigs, which is a fun and great way to give you a new and different look, but the wigs aren't styled.  Don't let your wig be the down fall of you fabulous costume.  If you decide on a wig remember it is the closest accessory to your face, and what do you want people to see?  YOU!!!   Make sure you have that wig or even your own hair on point, and men that goes for you as well.  Don't take it out of the package and think it is ready to put on your head.  Put a little work into it and make it a great accessory to your look. If you are going for the dreads look which is a great look for a pirate, some simple hair product over each of the dreads can smooth them down for a polished look.  No matter the style of wig you choose, style it...you will love your look and it will complete your costume.

Now men, make up for your look is ok!!!  Pirates were rough and tough but a great eye liner and some scruff on your face, if you aren't able to grow your self, is ok. You can create that scruff shadowing on your face and give your self that sharp chiseled jawline you want with a little make up.  You can simply get a stipple sponge and some dark make up and put that right on your face and give you the rough and  tough look you are going for. But seriously, but some eyeliner and give your eyes the dramatic pop they need to set your look on top of everyone else.

Now, you have your costume, hair and make up ready, put it on find your party and have a great Gasparilla.
