Lazy Lyrical Costumes

This Beyonce Costume Shows the World What You Really Woke Up Like

— October 30, 2014 — Art & Design
The 'I woke up like this' costume tutorial by Refinery29 may not be exactly what you had in mind when you decided to dress as Beyonce this Halloween, but hey: you left it till the last minute. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was a Beyonce costume, so this lyrical interpretation will have to do.

The costume is a little more realistic than the selfies under the #IWokeUpLikeThis tag on Instagram. It features messy hair, dark circles and less-than-perfect skin. To recreate, apply mousse to your hair and tease it with a comb until it's as similar to your Saturday morning bedhead as possible. Instead of removing your daytime makeup, layer on some more for a particularly crusty look. Apply eyeliner and smudge it by using a fan brush, leaving you disheveled and bedraggled.

Or, you know, you could always just take a nap and then go to the party looking how you really woke up.
Trend Themes
1. Realistic Costume - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create costumes that embrace imperfections and showcase more realistic portrayals of famous characters.
2. Messy Bedhead Look - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop hair products and styling techniques that enhance the messy bedhead look for everyday use, not just for costumes.
3. Lyrical Interpretation - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design costumes that creatively interpret lyrics or themes from songs, not limited to celebrity-inspired outfits.

2. Beauty and Cosmetics - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop makeup products and techniques that embrace imperfections and offer a more natural, unfiltered look for consumers.
3. Haircare and Styling - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create products and tools specifically designed to achieve the messy bedhead look, catering to the growing demand for effortless and undone hairstyles.
