You’ve Got Geek On Your Face

You might not think about it, but being a chic geek isn’t restricted to clothing or home décor. As our highlight post on makeup artist Siyrn illustrated, makeup is a fascinating corner of the geek chic world that I believe is still a bit unfamiliar to some, if not most, of us.

I’m a bit skittish when it comes to makeup, so I’m always looking for advice and tips from magazines. I love the pieces that cover what a certain star wore, especially when they’re geek related. Nothing sells me faster on an item than being told it’s recommended if you want to look like Cersei from Game of Thrones, or is THE thing to get if you want to have those amazing red lips like Anne Hathaway did as Catwoman.

Stunning Style: Look #9

This week I’m on my way to Georgia for Dragon*con, which I like to refer to as a four day party con in costume. It’s pretty great! For a convention like Dragon*con where it’s possible (and probable) that you’ll spend most of your time hanging out and socializing, chic geek outfits are just the thing to change it up a little when you still want to be dressed up, without being in a full costume.

I’ve worn this Wonder Woman-themed ensemble out and about to a few evening gatherings and it’s been a pretty big hit. While it’s a bit on the bold side with the iconic Wonder Woman boots and eye-catching starred spandex leggings, the simple black top helps to keep it from being an over-the-top look.

Last week when I was at the Star Trek convention in Vegas, I was playing around figuring out a Star Trek headband when, unknowingly to me, my partner Lindz was whipping up a Star Wars headband for last Friday’s DIY!

Clearly great minds think alike. Even better, Lindz showed one way to do a no-sew headband, and today I’m illustrating another way you can do a no-sew headband.
