Make-up
This is where you make your crucial decision of whether you dress up as ogre Fiona or human Fiona.
- Human Fiona look:
- Start with a dewy foundation for a radiant complexion.
- Use earthy tones for eyeshadow, like soft browns and golds, to highlight your eyes.
- Finish with a rosy blush and a pink or nude lip colour.
- Ogre Fiona look:
- Apply a green face paint evenly and highlight with darker green shades to contour the face.
- Use black eyeliner to accentuate the eyes and choose a bold red lipstick to complete the ogre transformation.

Oh, and one last thing: walk with the poise of a princess but don’t be afraid to unleash your inner ogre if/when the moment calls for it. You’re a fiery redhead, after all!
