I think that inner eye liner is really pretty for a gypsy-esque look:). And face jewels are a cute accessory too:)

A gypsy costume will be found by many people as offensive. Don't be that person in the culturally insensitive costume. Also the culture should be referred to as Romani.

That word is considered a racial slur by the people it describes (the Roma or Romani). It's not a big population in the US, but they are one of the most stigmatized and discriminated against groups in Europe. I would suggest calling yourself a fortune teller, palm reader or some similar description - it'll get the same point across without being offensive to anyone.

Thanks everyone ill look up smokey eye ideas. as for hair, I wantes.to curl with the wand but I work that night til 10 and I would have to go.to.work already dressed.with makeup and hair.done since I'm going out right after so I night just straighten my hair.nice my head will be covered anyways. as for racial slur, I'm only going by what is on the front of my costume package and it is considered a gypsy. didnt meant to offend anyone.

The name gypsy wasn't always consider a racial slur, although many who do not know the true definition of the term have made it into one. The romani people aren't all gypsys. If you look up the term gypsy it defines it as a very skilled person of romani culture who traveled and had a variety of talents. They were artist, dancers, fortune tellers, extremely skilled craftsman who were secretive and held on to their homeland traditions very tightly. My great grandmother was a romani gypsy, she traveled, read cards and did off hand jobs to support herself and her three kids. The general ignorance of the term is why the name has been tarnished so badly over the years. Romani is a cultural background, but to be a gypsy is a different way of life.

No you're ignorant because you've been informed of the improprieties of the costume and you still chose to wear it, denying that it is inappropriate to wear it simply because the costume can be bought at a store.
