Cross dressing help, stat!

Hey,

For Halloween I (a male) would like to dress up in a female costume, but that means I need a lot of advice and ASAP so I can decide whether or not I want to order this for Friday.

All of you out there who are men and have dressed up as a woman, how can I pull this off (especially the breasts)? What kind of make-up do I have to put on? Should I use tights the color of my skin to cover up my leg hair? The arm hair won't be a problem.

And I have big poofy hair, how does a wig take care of that? Should I cut it short first?

Thanks!!!!!

Well...

As to the tights, either wear black ones, through which the hair won't show, or just shave your legs. Carefully. With shaving cream.

And you can find makeup tips online, or pester a female friend into helping you. Oranges in a bra make good boobs, but you have to keep an eye on them lest they fall out.

Do I shock you darling?

Wig caps are your friend. :)

Wig caps are your friend. :) Those are like, a dollar, you just wear that and the wig on top of it. You can use hair pins to keep the wig from slipping around.

For makeup you want to make your face look softer and rounder if you can, and don't overdo it with bright colors and stuff unless you're aiming for the tacky drag queen look. I don't know anything about actual like, brands of makeup and application. There's stuff online for that though.
