    Sin City is where you go in with your eyes open, or you don't come out at all.wholesale halloween costumes - JohnnyAre you ready to take a trip back to the old days, the all-or-nothing days? Just like Marv said in Sin City, theyre back! We havent stepped foot in Sin City since the first movie released back in 2005, but were itching to go back this Friday when Sin City: A Dame to Kill For hits theaters.Sin Citys style is unmatched when it comes to the use of greyscale. Its not the first grayscale movie to use splashes of color here and there, but there is something about the way Sin City pulls it off that works on a whole 'nother level.

    Maybe its the use of lines and shadow, or maybe its the snappy dialogue, but either way we cant wait to scope out A Dame to Kill For.We thought it would be cool to emulate the style of the new movie with a Sin City makeup tutorial, so we called in our friend (and expert makeup artist) Katie Alves to give us a hand. You might be thinking, "pshh, how hard can it be to do gray makeup?" But do not be deceived, friends, for a good grayscale makeup requires a keen eye, perfect blending, and an understanding of how light reflects off features of your face. Katie will show us how its done.Greyscale Makeup Tutorial VideoSo,wholesale christmas costumes to borrow lines from our deceased friend Jackie Boy, "you want to see it?
