We’re just a week away from Halloween! So if you haven’t already picked out your costume, I wanted to share three ideas that I think are somewhat unique but easy to do. Finding unique costumes can be difficult, but these aren’t your fairies, bunnies and angles that you see every year. I will be linking items I think you can use to do the costume as well. Let’s get into it.
Cupid
I’ve seen this talked about a bit this year but never really seen it in the past. I think this is so cute and easy because if you own any red clothing then you can just wear that! If you don’t already own it, then get a red skirt and a red shirt. I think getting red tights or tights with hearts of them is cute and also keeps you warmer. Pro tip – wear nude tights with the red ones on top will keep you extra warm! Then to finish it off, get a bow and arrow, some angel wings (I would recommend going to a Halloween store but there isn’t much on Amazon Prime) and a heart headband. Finally, for makeup I would use pink and reds and draw little hearts on your face. Another tip is if you don’t own any red makeup, then use a red liquid lipstick and a paintbrush to draw hearts! The costume is cute, easily identifiable and easy to modify to your personal tastes.
Medusa
I love this idea – and would probably be wearing it myself if I was going out this year. I think you can do this two ways. You can do either a long green dress. Or you can do a green or snake print top with a long skirt. Then you can either buy the snake crown or just do a DIY with plastic snakes. I would add tones of gold jewelry. Finally, for the makeup I would wear greens and golds. A pro tip is to hold up fishnets to your face and then pat eyeshadow over top to get the scales look. I’ve done this in the past for a mermaid makeup look and it worked great!
Zombie Bride
I think the makeup is what really makes or breaks this costume. Get a white dress, a veil, and some white stocking and the outfit is set. Then get some fake blood and put it all over the place. For makeup, I think either a skull or a zombie looks really good. And if you want to take it up a notch, get some coloured contacts to really look spooky.
And those are my three Halloween costume suggestions! Let me know in the comment which of the three is your favourite and if you’re going out for Halloween this year, what are you wearing?
