Mystique (Adam Hughes)

(I also made the Magneto costume! Minus the helmet and collar, those were commissioned)

• What inspired you - I'm more of a comic version fan than movie fan of just about everything. Again, me always reverting to loving the 90's. I did my belt more like the Adam Hughes' comiquette statue. LOVE IT! Except, less boob of course. *I lack that *****
• How long it took - Not long at all. I made the whole thing. Even the belt. A day for construction, but then another day for the skull paint to dry.
• How much it cost - I'd say no more than $75
• Specific details for which you are most proud - The belt. It's my favorite. Plastic skulls from a prop shop, cut, painted, detailed and put on loops to put on a belt. Also? That's all my real hair haha
• Tips - I always paint my face lighter than my body (but the body is a spandex suit), because I don't want my face washed out in pictures. Flash brings it out more. It's kind of like if a chick uses a shade lighter in foundation lol but you have to color tone your T-zone. Cannot just use one color.
  The first image is Photoshopped to rid my seams and yellow out my eyes. I did the editing. Touched up the face

My favorite version of Mystique, you look fantastic.

You really have the comic-book look down.

Awesome! Probably the best Adam Hughes Mystique I've seen. Props on your face color/suit color matching sooo well. I'm thinking of doing a First Class Mystique sometime soon, and this is inspirational. Great job!

Thank you! Yeah I used a couple different Ben Nye blues, as well as eyeshadows. I used lipstick for my eyebrows actually, because they're black so I wanted something I knew would paste them down HAHA and then my body suit was just that spandex. Royal blue.
THANKS AGAIN!

Custome is great, the belt is dead on!!

beautiful!! i love your self-made costumes.
i can't help but especially love this one. reminds me of the time i was Kali Ma for Halloween almost 10 years ago. with today's incredible cosplay/costuming, though, i'm no longer as proud of it! i gotta step up my efforts.
did you learn to sew to embrace this hobby, or was it an established skill that you brought to the game? i'm getting around to making it a goal to learn!

Looks great. Whenever, I think of Mystique, that's the first version that comes to mind.

My favorite version of Mystique, beautiful job.

VERY nicely done!!

Looks great!

Thank you!

God dammit, enought already! You're killin' me here!
Just kidding, keep this stuff coming, your costumes are always beyond impressive.

I was a bit concerned at first. "Surely she didn't paint her entire body blue, what a pain in the ass that must have been." "Oh... It's a blue body suit. Of course it is, derp."

And that Magneto is just as awesome! Everything is spot on!

Haha thank you! I made that one too! (with a buddy who did his helmet, and another the collar)

This looks really cool. Very good work

Oh yea, epic work there! That's a real head turner.

Haha awesome! This was taken apart from a Hot Topic "gothic Tinkerbell" jewelry set and I just spiritgummed it to my face hahaha

Could it be? A more classic version of Mystique? FANTASTIC!!! Not that there is anything with the X-Men movie version, but I personally like the comic costumes better. Awesome Job!

Thank you! I'd rock the Rebecca Romijn version, but, that would require a better in shape body. So, **** that haha

I made it

Very Well Done!

I have seen several of your costumes posted on this site and have been impressed with your attention to detail and your skill at sewing!

Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Another A+ Kearstin! You look great as Mystique, as well as all your other suits lol. You have a show-off / build thread for the magneto? I'm curious to if you sew everything yourself.
