Coraline cosplay makeup and prop tutorial

Welcome to the ultimate Coraline cosplay makeup and props tutorial
It's time for Coraline to visit the other mother and find out if buttons are the coolest thing ever. In this Coraline Halloween Makeup Tutorial you will learn how to create a dragonfly hair pin, super cool buttons and a needle using our Ellimorph Plastic. This makeup is easy to recreate and very well suitable for beginners.
As with most other cartoon characters it's all up to you to interpret and convert the look into real life. Though Coraline appears in many looks and outfits in the movie, and never ends up getting the buttons attached to her eyes we still wanted to create our Coraline version with the scary button.
Along with the blue wig, the buttons are the biggest and most significant part of this Coraline makeup. We chose to create custom buttons using black Ellimorph Plastic. You can of course try to find real buttons to use instead, but the trick with using Ellimorph is that it allowed us to create large enough holes to attach both thread and be able to see out at the same time. So even though it looks like you're blind in this look, you can actually see out through the over-sized holes in the buttons.
The dragonfly hairpin is also made of Ellimorph and incorporates a bobby pin. It's a straight forward and simple design that shouldn't requite too much skills to pull off.
If you are planning on going to a costume party with a friend we recommend you check out our Other Mother tutorial as well. Then you can both be characters from the Coraline movie!

ellimorph plastic actually seems like the most useful product a makeup artist could have.

[@ellimacssfx]

+Jay Gonda yeah, that's we we have brought it to the world. Such an amazing product. And we chose to price it very low so almost everyone should be able to afford it :)

[@JayGonda]

ellimacs sfx makeup well thank you for that haha. i plan to buy it very soon actually. while you've noticed me, elli should try to recreate some saw movie characters. jigsaw for the more beginners, and the more gory stuff for the intermediate to advanced group

Coraline was the scariest movie when I was younger!! I love this too!!

[@chloeannburnett9511]

OMG I so agree Coraline was like so scary.

[@NancyRodriguez-ot8bx]

No it wasn't I was whaching it since I was 4

[@HannahGraceTea]

also, you should recreate John carpenters "the thing"... your mission (should you choose to accept it) would consist of making individual videos on making arm, abdomen, face, and leg prosthetics. Then finish with a grand finale where you apply all of the prosthetics and make a grand reveal of the finished product!

[@ellimacssfx]

Hehe yeah =)

Are there any alternatives to ellimorph? like airdry clay or something? I'm not allowed to buy things over the internet so I can't use ellimorph :c

[@nariahrojas4564]

Wow sad

[@emeon_]

its just meltable plastic beads, you should be able to find them in any Halloween store

[@pollyvancata832]

For this look i think polymer clay would work!

[@whatalotofocelots]

Very similar products are Polymorph, friendly plastic and Worbla Deco Art. You may be able to find one of them in craft stores, but ellimorph plastics directly support Ellimacs! You could try airdry clay, but it is prone to cracking, is less sturdy, and heavier. But I agree that polymer clay will probably work too. Good luck! :)
