Hey ladies!! I'll be going to a gypsy sweet 15 birthday in two weeks. I just need some idea how their makeup is. I was thinking like bright colorful eye look , small stones around my eyes and a piece of jewelry on my head (not a headband) but the way I'm describing is more like an Arabic style? Ahh I'm confused lol help pretty please.

I'm a gypsy you can wear your makeup anyway you want we don't have a exact style we just wear makeup like everyone else does.

Hehe Thank you Lisa 😊. Hey Helen, I'm sorry I think I didn't write clear. The party will be Gypsy Style and they request me to dress like a gypsy. they advised me it's a colorful event.

I believe they are throwing back to another era in which fortune telling and traveling musicians/sales caravans were common. Take a page from old Hollywood. Liner, deep, red lips hoop earrings and a headscarf tied.

You could go the way of a coin laden headband and loose scarf covering the head and loose the hoops.

Or perhaps take a more Bohemian approach with a cotton, off shoulder lace front blouse, shawl and long, flowy skirt.

Haha I just realized you should probably confer with other friends before wearing anything that is costume-esque. I stand by my make up suggestion. ;)

I'd be really careful about throwing the word "gypsy" around, just fyi. A lot of people (not all, but many) find it to be a really offensive slur for Romani people. I have many Romani friends who have told me that to them, the word "gypsy" is really similar to the N word for African Americans.

No way?? Oh man thNk you for the heads up.

No problem! It's something not many people are aware or sensitive about, but it's best to be aware of =)
