Halloween Costumes
October 31st is Halloween. It's becoming as popular in the UK as it is in the USA. Halloween costumes are traditionally witches, ghosts and all things that go bump in the night.
Blacks, purples and greens dominate Halloween costumes and you can also wear white for brides of Dracula or vampire brides. Use a white long dress and face make-up for a ghostly bride look.
Wedding dresses make great Halloween costumes so if you have your wedding dress tucked away just whiten your face with stage make-up, wear vampire teeth and fake blood to become a vampire bride for the night. If you still have your veil and tiara this looks excellent to finish it off.
Decide what impact you want to have when you walk into the room. Then you can look at Halloween costumes. Do you want heads to turn? Do you want to look sexy, devilish, funny or impish? Choose your outfit and then go to the accessories to choose make-up, wigs, masks and facial hair.
Witchy Halloween accessories include long hair wigs, stripey tights with black shoes, a broomstick and a tall pointed hat.
Children go from door to door trick or treating. Participating houses will have a good stock of goodies to fill the children's Halloween bags. These will be chocolates, sweets or fruit. Some houses will even give money if they haven't had time to stock up on Halloween supplies.
But if you don't want to go to a party have a look through your Halloween costumes and wear one when you answer the door to the trick or treaters. Its great fun and the kids love it. But make sure it's not too scary!
If Halloween isn't your thing buy a sign to put up in your window to let people know you don't welcome any trick or treating.
