Halloween is coming. And You've got your costume. You're already DIY up your decor. And your menu of creepy little goodies is in place. Now it's time to start focusing on the details, like Halloween hairstyles, makeup, and Halloween food.
And now, our first stop is a big one. It's your hairstyle. The right hair can make or break your Halloween costume. If you're searching for the perfect Halloween hairstyle, check out these awesome Halloween hair ideas here for inspiration:
1. Lioness
If you have naturally big, textured, or curly hair, the lioness look is totally fierce and easy to accomplish. Add some cat ears and makeup a la model Joyjah, and you'll be good to go. Of course, A curly human hair weave will help you realize your wish easily.
2. Rosie the Riveter
Rosie the Riveter is a classic American costume, and her bright red bandana is key. Complete the vintage look with perfect pin curls.
3. Cousin Itt
If you have long hair, all you have to do is flip it to the front over your face to look exactly like Cousin Itt from "The Addams Family." Be sure to add some sunglasses to make it super-recognizable. If you do not have long hair, you can shop a 100 human hair wigs from a good virgin hair vendor.
4. Pumpkin Bun
This adorable pumpkin bun would work for kids and adults alike, making it perfect for a matching mommy-and-me costume ensemble. Recreate this look using a bun maker and some orange hairspray (don't worry, it washes out!).
5. Rapunzel
Is there any character more recognized for her hair than Rapunzel? This pretty Rapunzel-style braid by The Beauty Shop Page would transition easily from Halloween to everyday life.
All of these Halloween hairstyles are easy to style. And then, it is the second one, our face makeup. A peculiar Party look will make you out of the ordinary. Despite the over-saturation of iconic Halloween costumes, you don't need the most original idea to stand out. From a metallic disco queen to a new interpretation of Leeloo's neon style, here are 15 Halloween makeup ideas that are far from basic.
1. Shooting Star
Starry, starry eye. Draw a gold (or silver!) star around your eye and complement the look with a bit of highlighter for an out-of-this-world feel. Jem and the Holograms, but make it subtle.
2. Superhero or Villian
Not all heroes wear capes, but a few do wear makeup masks. Isolate a single eye with a futuristic design. Trick-or-treaters won't know if you're a good guy or a bad guy or just a makeup genius willing to give them candy.
3. Flower Child
We're all about spreading peace and love on a daily, but take it to the next level on Halloween with a hippie costume. Paint flowers on your face in a pretty aquamarine shade for a pre-Coachella, post-Woodstock vibe.
4. Jessica Rabbit
You're not bad, you're just drawn that way. A sultry red lip and flick of black eyeliner make for an easy Jessica Rabbit makeup look. Pull the look together by investing in a pin-up red wig.
5. Purple Rain
Rhinestones make for the perfect drops of purple rain while violet brows lend an edgy spin. Channel your inner Prince and change your name to a symbol for Halloween night.
