The Victorian and Edwardian eras inspired Terry to contrast creams and
gold hues with vibrant reds and smoky blacks. Appliqués, feathers, nail
art and Butts’ elaborate hair design gave the looks texture. This
particular Alice (Samantha Wilkinson) and White Rabbit (Blossom Blois)
look innocent, but there’s a hint of mischief here, too. Let’s follow

my life trying to conceal rashes by mixing products,”
Paxson said. She tried theatrical make-ups ranging from Joe Blasco to

was always heavier than she wanted. “Growing up in south Florida, it

| Specialty Contacts: A Cautionary Tale - Friday October 24, 2008 |
So, you’ve got your cat tail, ears and whiskers all ready for your
feline Halloween costume, but the face make-up is missing something. If
you’re thinking of completing your costume with cat contacts, there are
some safety issues you should keep in mind.
Consumers and make-up artists need to be cautious of lenses found in
retail outlets or on the Internet. Often the retailers aren’t licensed
to carry the special effects lenses and the contacts may not be
manufactured to the correct standards. According to ophthalmologist Dr.
Jonathan Gording, special effects lenses often have two layers: the
inner white layer is basically a salt, he says, and a dye is applied to
the outer layer for the desired effect. These hand-made lenses are
fragile and need to be inspected for nicks, edge defects or other
deformities.
