Halloween is the most exciting time of the year for those who like dressing up. Whether you like gore-filled, scary costumes or trending, girly ones, dressing in costume while spending time with your friends, attending parties, or simply trick-or-treating in well-decorated neighborhoods is an absolute blast. For Halloween, you can dress as anything and everything you like. Many find crafting the perfect costume an easy and fun-filled activity, while others may think of it as a stressful task.
Finding the perfect costume is an essential component of the spooky holiday, because what is the fun in Halloween if you do not have a costume that you love? A Halloween costume should stand out among the rest; use your creativity. Friend groups often dress in matching costumes. It is always fun to have a matching costume with your friends because you can take cute photos together, and it is easier to find your group when wandering through the ghostly streets. It is possible to do matching costumes with either one friend or with your group of friends. Some cute costume ideas for two people could be Tinkerbell and Peter Pan, the white and black swan, Blair and Serena from Gossip Girl, Elphaba and Glinda from Wicked, or Minnie and Mickey Mouse, as well as other popular characters from movies and TV series. A cute costume idea for a group could be Alvin and the Chipmunks/Chippettes, the Mean Girls trio, Disney Princesses, or the Strawberry Shortcake characters. Some of the costumes that are very trendy at the moment are several animals, throwback pop culture references, or fantasy creatures, amongst others.
If you need basic last-minute costumes, there are many easy options that you could find in your closet and pair with a little makeup. Some simple yet creative costumes include a skeleton, a Pilates princess, any type of animal (deer, leopard, cheetah, dalmatian), Katherine from The Vampire Diaries, and even a ghost. If you have a basic costume, you are easily able to step it up by adding a unique makeup look and hairstyle. Something to step up your costume is doing special effects (SFX) makeup. Some scary looks may include fake blood, spiderwebs, bruising, and colored contacts. These small additions will bring your costume from good to great!
