Carbon Costume Women
Deanna Troi
Half Betazoid and half human, counselor Deanna Troi (Marina Sirtis) of Star Trek: The Next Generation uses her Betazoid empathetic abilities to serve both ship and crew of the USS Enterprise. A beautiful, kind, gentle woman with a serious sweet tooth for chocolate, she often finds herself playing peacemaker. Throughout the series she also enjoys a number of romantic interests, especially with on-again-off-again lover Commander Riker. This guide is for her earlier outfit as counselor, before she begins to wear the Starfleet uniform.
The Feelers
On The Strain, ancient race of vampires, strigoi, have taken over New York City. During the city’s evacuation, the strigoi kidnap blind children on their way out of the city and turn them into “Feelers.” The Feelers are blind and animalistic, enhanced with extra-sensory perception and are used to track Dr. Goodweather and the team. They still wear their school uniforms, though most of their clothing has become dirty and tattered. Most of the children are female, but swapping the skirt, stockings, and shoes can be easily swapped for pants and men’s dress shoes. Otherwise, their look is virtually identical.
Though this makeup looks complicated, it can be easily achieved with a bald cap, a professional color wheel, hair pieces, scarring fluid, pale blue or white contact lenses, and a little experimentation.
Yvette
Yvette (Colleen Camp) is Mr. Boddy’s maid in the film, Clue. She is also Mr. Boddy’s accomplice, a former escort for Miss Scarlet, where she had Colonel Mustard as a client, and one of Miss Scarlet, Mrs. Peacock, or Mrs. White, depending on the ending.
Zotoh Zhaan
A member of the Delvian race, the wise and reasonable Zotoh Zhaan (Virginia Hey) is a 10th level, 800 hundred year old priest on the TV show Farscape. The Delvians evolved from plants, and so Zhaan has a special ability to heal with herbs that leads to her becoming the unofficial doctor of the rowdy Moya crew. A pacifist on the surface, she controls darker tendencies deep within her, occasionally allowing them to surface when the situation demands it. Her skin glows a beautiful blue with white markings and she dresses in shades of blue.
Violet Parr
Violet Parr (voiced by Sarah Vowell) is the shy and insecure moody teen in the Disney Pixar 2004 animated film The Incredibles. Slightly cynical at home but withdrawn and quiet in school, she develops a ton of bravery once she uses her invisibility gift to protect her family from villains ought to destroy all their powers.
Claudia Wolf from Silent Hill 3
A priestess of The Order in the third installment of the massively popular Silent Hill video game series, Claudia Wolf seeks to birth God through a teenager named Heather. God, in this game, is an evil creature, but Claudia believes it will cleanse the world of sin. She has a violent, disturbing past with much suffering, and truly wishes to rid the world of it so that no one else can suffer like she did. Although a sympathetic character at times, her fanatical devotion to birthing God is her undoing. She dresses in long black clothing with bare feet – make sure to button up all the way and pop the collar. A touch of grey and black makeup will create that distinctive gaunt look.
Evelyn Salt
Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) is a CIA officer accused of being a spy in the 2010 film Salt. She is a ruthless woman that will stop at nothing to avenge her husband’s death.
Elektra King
The heiress of an oil fortune in the James Bond movie The World is Not Enough, Elektra King (Sophie Marceau) begins as a love interest of Bond but quickly morphs into a villain.

Blisstina ‘Bliss’ Utonium
Years before Professor Utonium (Tom Kane) created the Powerpuff Girls — Blossom (Amanda Leighton), Bubbles (Kristen Li), and Buttercup (Natalie Palamides) — he created Blisstina Utonium (Olivia Olson), better known as Bliss. After accidentally adding Chemical W to a mix of sugar, spice, and everything nice, Bliss was created as the “perfect little girl”…but with superpowers. At some point in her childhood, her powers began to manifest in a volatile manner whenever she felt emotions too strongly. After accidentally blowing up the house, she sends herself into exile. She reunites with her family in the Powerpuff Girls special, “The Power of Four.”
