After the release of Mad Max Fury Road had us all sitting anxiously on our hands with bated breath, I decided to take matters into my own hands. It’s been just over 2 weeks since my 7hr operation (double mastectomy, reconstruction & removal of lymph nodes); I’m a Chemo Queen and I am Furiosa, helping women escape the cage of beauty ideals. The future of our sisterhood lies in the support we show each other as we create our own definition of beauty. The richness of our strength glistens from the flame within.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, even more so when there are captions underneath! So I’ll let the photos do the talking…..

Recreate Furiosa’s Look for Halloween or a Fancy Dress costume

Outfit:

• White top from Primark (Pennys) for £5: Stain in tea water, rinse, then rub in used coffee grounds. Using a needle and thread string it up to create ruffles. With a sponge smear the Grimas black make-up (detailed below) all over the top
• Sleeveless black leotard, black trousers, black boots, black shrug to wrap around neck and swimming goggles
• 5 various Men’s belts in Primark from £2 – £4 each  and my own leather satchel
• Chained belt: Using three belts to create one belt, I clipped in the middle a silver bracelet from Primark (in a set for £2). I deconstructed 3 necklaces (£2 each Primark) to use the chains and attached them to the bracelet. Using the pendant from one of the necklaces, I turned it backwards and attached to the middle of the bracelet.

Make-up:

• Black “Instant Colour Hair Spray and Wash out”: Spray all over the head.
• Grimas Water Make-up (PURE) Black 101: With a wet sponge apply only on the front part of the head and face and smear along arms
• MAC Black Matt Eyeshadow & Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner 24H 01 Black: For the eyes
• Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant: Apply this oily gel with your fingertips over the black on the front of your head, face and arms to recreate the oily look
