  • Question
    Where I can get Bellatrix-looking fake teeth?

    She either wears concealer over her lips to almost block them out, a dead-looking gray-purple, or black. Look at pictures of her in different scenes of the movies.
  • Question
    What do you mean by "dirty"?

    Dirty as in brownish, or decaying. If you don't want to buy teeth, eat a lot of brown things such as Oreos, and don't brush your teeth before you going trick-or-treating.

    You can get a curling iron at beauty supply stores, drug stores, or even Target or Walmart. They're about $15-$20.
  • Question
    Is there an easier way to make the wand?

    You can also use air dry clay to make it, but you still need a chopstick as support for the middle.
  • Question
    How do I make the Bellatrix teeth if I have braces?
    Community Answer
    The teeth aren't essential, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. If you really want to, simply rub an Oreo cookie or something similar on the teeth in back and as much as you can at the front.

    I not allowed to wear makeup and I have blonde hair that barely reaches my shoulders, could I still make it work?

    Yes, that would make your hair look very Bellatrix-like.
