Make no mistake… the make up used for this Suki costume is not meant to look pretty… it’s the fierce face paint of the Kyoshi warriors.

If you’re planning to transform into a Na’vi from Pandora, blue greasepaint is not going to cut it. This detailed video tutorial shows you how to recreate the detailed blue skin of the Na’vi, with detailed markings. The video covers important points like setting each layer so the details don’t smear. He also teaches you how to make your nose look wider with dark blue shading. And of course, your personal Na’vi markings are completely up to you, but this video walks you through the process. He also shows you a neat trick to make your eyes appear bigger. As you can see becoming a Na’vi is a long process, but the results are pretty incredible, even without yellow contacts.

Starting with a painted nerf longshot, countless hours of prosthetics and a killer set of fangs one fan shows off his detailed Avatar costume. James Cameron’s Avatar tells a powerful story with beautiful alien characters that has all the making of a sci-fi/fantasy hit. Even though the film came out this year we expect to see many many Avatar costumes for years to come.

For Halloween, I was Aang from Avatar. My dad and I are big fans of the show, and can’t wait for the movie to come out!

The idea of this costume came to me when I was thinking of how to take advantage of the unique opportunity of having no hair. Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of my favorite shows and I’m estatic that I was able to make a costume inspired by it. I made it from clothes I found at a thrift store. I took apart, altered, and even dyed previously owned clothing and made something totally new! I used a blue make-up crayon to draw the arrows on my head and hands, and my costume is complete!
