With the Smurf movie premiering soon, I have a sneaking suspicion that Smurf costumes will be popping up a little more than usual. Want to make like Katy Perry and get your Smurfette on? I sported my best Smurf chic for this year’s Beirut tourney (country: Smurfville) and can provide a step-by-step guide on how to be the best dressed Smurfette in town!
Step 1:: Buy Blue Body Paint
I used Graftobian Liquid Latex. It made me the perfect hue of smurfy blue, but don’t necessarily recommend it.
Liquid Latex
Cons
- Stinky Smell
-
Easy Application
Latex covered body parts stick together (think forearm stuck to bicep or calf stuck to hamstring when bending your arm/leg). When you do make skin-to-skin contact, you have to basically rip off a gigantic blue band-aid to break free. This is vexatious.
Pros
- Easy Application – Just use a wash rag and wipe the liquid latex on (but it needs to be an old rag that you can throw away afterwards).
- Easy Removal – Note: I said easy, not painless. Latex peels right off your skin…pulling your hair out with it.
Step 2:: Clothe Yourself In White
To complete your Smurfette look, pair your beautiful blue body with a white dress, white beanie and flower broach. Be sure to turn on the pizzazz, Smurfette is quite the charmer!
