Halloween is the one day of the year where you can dress up as anything you want. A doctor, Lady Gaga, Batman – the list is endless. This year I’ve decided to bring out the Martha Stewart in me and home-make my Halloween costume.
Even if you cannot sew (neither can I), you can still create a costume just by mixing and matching some of the items in your own closet. As I started picking through my clothes to generate some ideas of what I can be this year for Halloween, I came across many options. My choices are: a prom queen, baseball player, or a…man using my boyfriend’s suit and tie. Re-creating my senior prom night by slipping into my prom dress (hope I still fit in that size 3) and taking a piece of a sheet and marker to create a ‘Class of 2010 Prom Queen’ sass. I can pull out my old baseball uniform, glove and bat and be a zombie baseball player by adding some effects with make-up.
Make-up will be the number one key in creating your look. With make-up you can transform your face into a cat, zombie or a glamorous beauty queen. This is when too much make-up is encouraged.
This Halloween consider making your costume with the clothes in your very own closet. Be sure to add the effect to your look with dramatic make-up that will scare the socks off the other ghouls!
Happy Halloween!
