You'll Scream For These Halloween Looks!

Can’t Find A Costume This Year?

Let me help you get inspired! I love Halloween! It’s my favorite holiday! I’ve been searching far and wide for my costume for Halloween 2011, and these are some ideas I’ve been storing in my own, personal look-book.

A little embarassing that I haven't made my own videos in a while, but with a little help from my youtube friends, it's gonna be a great Halloween!

Lady Godiva

We just loved this scary look from the Sonia Rykiel fashion show from 2009. Try it as an updated look on Lady Godiva! I recommend this is a look if you’re skilled with hair, costumes or pretty crafty in general.

Difficulty: Moderate

What you’ll need:

 

      • a flesh colored leotard with sleeves
      • a few packets of very long, textured, synthetic hair wefts that matches you hair color
      • snaps to secure hair
      • a hot glue gun
     

Step 1.  Measure weft by holding the tip at the right side of your hairline closest to your right ear and measure across to the left side. Snip with scissors. Repeat 2-3 times, working your way from just below your occipital bone (or nape of neck, depending on how low your hairline goes) to the widest part of your head.
Step 2: Hot glue hair snaps to the pieces you’ve cut. You’ve now made yourself your very own set of hair extensions! When worn, they should be very long, cascading over your collar bone and shoulders.Halloween Edward Scissorhands Costumes Avatar  beauty Youll Scream For These Halloween Tutorials!

Step 3: Lay out your leotard and hot glue a few wefts to shoulders, waist and hips.

 

When worn together, you should get a similar effect to the one in the picture!

Bride Of Frankenstein

This is a fairly simple look. Crimped and teased hair, a flow-y, Stevie Nicks type gown, and you’re pretty much good to go. Add a little black nail polish and the makeup can be done out of most common items found in your makeup bag!Halloween Edward Scissorhands Costumes Avatar  beauty Youll Scream For These Halloween Tutorials!

Difficulty: Easy to Moderate

We thought it’s be a better idea to SHOW you (below). We found this great tutorial on Youtube. This lady can really make you look BOO-tiful!

What you’ll need:

  • white dress with sleeves
  • coverup or concealer in white + a white pressed power
  • dark green, lime green, gold and black eyeshadow
  • false lashes
  • liquid eyeliner
  • red lipstick
  • black and white jumbo eye pencils
  • Hair crimper, teasing comb, and HAIRSPRAY! Lots of hairspray!

Difficulty: Moderate

What you’ll need:

  • well, Kandee used airbrush makeup to achieve this look, but since most of us don’t have an airbrush readily available, I suggest purchasing a blue color wheel similar to that in the Edward Scissorhands tutorial.
  • blue lip pencil,
  • black eyeliner
  • false lashes
  • rubber bands and feathers to braid hair and accessorize
