It’s finally here – the Morticia Addams make-up cosplay tutorial! I have done original Morticia as played by Carolyn Jones in the 1960s, rather than Anjelica Huston, as I am more comfortable with this incarnation of Morticia and for me personally, Carolyn Jones will always be the definitive Morticia Addams because I saw the TV series before I ever saw the films.
I wish I’d had some carnivorous plants in the background but I don’t currently have any. I’d like to say that they ate each other but in reality, one of my rabbits ate the carnivorous plants. Score 1 for bunnies not being as soft and fluffy as everyone thinks.
Here’s the video (it starts off in Black and White, then progresses to colour before returning to black and white).
And here’s some pictures:



If you want to find out more about Carolyn Jones, the actress who played Morticia, there’s an excellent documentary from the Biography channel available on Youtube. ย I’ve linked it from my tutorial.

It’s like you read my mind… I was wondering about how to do the white streaks earlier today and as soon as I’ve got that worked out, it’s happening!! ๐

Before I bought the white extensions for my costume a couple years ago, I used white cream make up (Manic Panic) to streak my hair. Not ideal, but it works as long as you avoid rain ๐
