Carbon Costume Women
Chell from Portal
In the Portal games, Chell is essentially a lab rat for Aperture Science, performing tests under the supervision of the AI bot GLaDOS. It’s not long before Chell sees her chance to escape the testing facility using her portal gun.
Lydia Deetz
Lydia Deetz’s style is all but strange and unusual. She keeps it simple by dressing in all black and minimal make up. The hardest part to replicate may actually be her bangs. We can’t guarantee this look will attract a bio-exorcist but you can always try saying his name three times.
Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Sally may be stuffed with dead leaves but she has managed to put together a pretty decent wardrobe for herself. She can even stitch her body parts back together. Don’t worry, you don’t need real stitches to imitate Sally’s style. A body marker and a steady hand will have you looking like a mad scientist’s prized possession in no time.
Elena Fisher
In Uncharted, Drake meets his match in Elena Fisher, a strong-willed and spunky journalist. She may be a love interest, but with her smarts and fighting prowess, she’s no damsel in distress.
Velma Dinkley
Velma Dace Dinkley is the brains behind the Scooby Doo gang, as the homely fashion and big glasses attest. She frequently loses her glasses and reminds everyone, “I can’t see without my glasses!” as if they didn’t already know. Jeepers Velma, why don’t you look into contacts already?
Tifa Lockhart
Tifa is the childhood friend of Cloud Strife, who is the protagonist of one of the most famous RPGs of all time, Final Fantasy VII. Tifa convinces Cloud Strife to join the eco-terrorist group AVALANCHE and later assists him in saving the planet from the game’s villain, Sephiroth. Tifa is one of video game’s most prominent female characters as she is a strong and independent, often being compared to Lara Croft. The media has described her as one of the best female characters in gaming.
Faith Connors
Faith is the main character in the game Mirror’s Edge. The game is set in a futuristic dystopian society, in which a network of ‘Runners’, including Faith, are used as couriers to transmit messages while evading government surveillance. When she was young, her parents were killed while protesting government plans, forcing Faith to grow up on the street. She eventually meets Mercury, a Runner who recognizes Faith’s potential and becomes her mentor. He teaches Faith how to survive in the city, a world where obedience is brutally enforced and any deviance is relegated to the edge of society.
Poison
Introduced in the first Final Fight, Poison is one of the few characters from the Capcom series to move on to a minor role in the popular fighter game, Street Fighter. She has since appeared in later artworks and cross-over games and is notably one of the top female characters in video game history.
Raven
Raven is a half-demon, half-human being who joins the Teen Titans. She uses her powers of teleportation, astral projection, and empathic healing to protect Jump City from various villains, which includes her father Trigon. This costume will require a bit of DIY to replicate her cape pin and jeweled sleeves in addition to modifying the necklace into a belt.
Black Widow
Scarlett Johansson stars in The Avengers and Iron Man 2 as Natasha Romanoff aka the Black Widow. A highly-trained spy for S.H.I.E.L.D., she’s every bit as deadly as her code name suggests. To complete the look, follow this Black Widow makeup tutorial by Brizzy Voices.
