Okay, here is my sharing about the “photo of the wicked witch of the west”:
Today, I wanted to try something different and decided to recreate the look of the Wicked Witch of the West. You know, the iconic character from “The Wizard of Oz”? I’ve always been fascinated by her look, so I thought, why not give it a shot?
First off, I gathered all the stuff I needed. This included a bunch of green face paint, a black witch’s hat I found in my old Halloween costume box, and some dark clothes from the back of my closet. I made sure I had some good lighting too, ’cause that’s key for any photo, right?
Preparation
I started with a clean face. No makeup, just a blank canvas. Then, I began applying the green face paint. This was a bit tricky. I used a sponge and dabbed it on, trying to get an even coat. It took a while, and I had to add a few layers to get that really vibrant green. I also made sure to blend it down my neck, so it didn’t look like I was wearing a mask.
- Apply green face paint with a sponge.
- Add multiple layers for vibrant color.
- Blend down the neck for a natural look.
Details
Next up were the details. I used a darker green to contour my cheeks and make my face look more angular, just like the Wicked Witch. I added some deep lines on my forehead and around my mouth with a thin brush. This really helped to sell the look. I also used black eyeliner to make my eyes pop and darken my eyebrows, giving them that severe, arched shape.

Costume
Now for the costume. I put on a long, black dress that I found. It wasn’t exactly like the one in the movie, but it was close enough. Then, I placed the black witch’s hat on my head, adjusting it so it sat just right. This made all the difference. With the hat and the green makeup, I really started to look the part.

Photography
Finally, I set up my camera and took some photos. I played around with different angles and expressions. I tried to capture that menacing look the Wicked Witch is known for. It was a lot of fun striking different poses and seeing the character come to life.

In the end, I was pretty happy with how it turned out. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a fun experiment. It’s amazing how makeup and a few props can transform you into a completely different character. I might even try this again for Halloween! Hope you enjoyed my little adventure into becoming the Wicked Witch of the West.
