He is a secretive character who speaks little about himself and his former mortal life. To Louis, he appears as a nonchalant, vulgar and pretentious character who feels no remorse about having to kill. Moreover, he does not hesitate to create Claudia, a child vampire, with the only aim of keeping Louis close to him. His two protégés end up leaving him after having tried to kill him, tired of his selfish and manipulative attitude.

In order to fully transform yourself into this vampire, you can use makeup. First, apply a thick layer of pale foundation all over your face. Take a matte white powder to highlight your nose, cheekbones, and chin. Contour your face to make your cheekbones stand out, then grab a dark red lipstick and recreate Lestat’s cupid brow. Finally, apply some brown eyeshadow over your eyelids, giving you the perfect undead look. You’ll seduce everyone with this beautiful Lestat de Lioncourt costume!
