Halloween costume

Halloween is a fun holiday that has come to us from the West. Its origins lead to the Celtic tribes, which during the pre-Christian era lived in the lands of Great Britain and Northern France.

In the Celtic year was divided into two seasons - winter and summer. October 31, the summer ended, and the winter entered into legal rights. Accordingly, this night the ancient Celts celebrated the New Year.

According to legend, on Christmas Eve the gates to the world of the dead opened, and the spirits of dead people were released.

In order not to become victims of ghosts, the Celts dressed up in animal skins and terrible robes in order to frighten off immigrants from the next world.

Sacrifice ceremonies were also held to appease the spirits.

Later, the church launched a war with barbaric custom, but the pagan holiday survived all the historical upheavals and remained in the minds of the people of the church, called the Day of All Saints.

And every year its scope increases. Countries that have never celebrated Halloween before, join the tradition of dressing up in awesome and at the same time original costumes, some of which we now consider in more detail.

Perhaps the most popular and reproducible most often is the image of a vampire. The vampire is the first thing that comes to mind at the mention of Western mythical evil forces. The main burden in creating the bow takes on makeup. Imitation of bloody, ragged wounds, bluish tint of the face, traces of suffocation on the neck - the horror can be translated into aesthetic of ready-to-wear, you just have to choose the right accessories.

The Halloween theme was not spared by such outstanding fashion designers as Jean Paul Gautier, Galliano, Tom Brown. Among their successful finds are the elements of the Gothic fashion in the form of a translucent fabric - cobwebs, entangling the figure at the final stage of creating the image, embroidered with bright red beads of blood, a bizarre game of fabric iridescence.

The witch is also a rather traditional character. She can be playful, angry, frightening, but without fail in a high wide-brimmed hat.

Make up again creates a mood, and depending on the chosen color scheme and body art elements, the image takes on a conceived character.

So the cobweb on the eyelids and the spider, crawling on the cheek, will leave a sinister impression, and traced exaggerated mimic wrinkles will add comicity.

In addition to the pointed hat, a witch’s outfit is usually a long black dress, or short in an ensemble with striped golf over a knee or tights. Also an important accessory is a broom.

The image of a nurse often excites the consciousness of the male population, causing playful associations, but on Halloween you can experiment with a bias in black humor. Blood drips on a snow-white robe, purple gauze bandage, gaping wounds on the body and face.

Feel the lack of thrills? At a meeting with such a nurse, adrenaline rush is guaranteed!

As is well known, the black cat is a distant relative of the evil spirit, so it would be unwise to leave aside representatives of the feline brethren.

The image can be presented in the classic version - black attire, ears, tail, appropriate makeup, and in fantasy.

It is enough to recall the Cheshire cat from “Alice in Wonderland” with its unusual smile, make-up will help create a completely non-trivial bow.

The famous villain, the dark analogue of Harlequin logically fits into the rating of the most popular characters, whose Halloween costumes are in high demand. The deceptive impression of innocence is achieved by a bleached face and make-up simulating a carnival mask.

Girls can experiment with a nun costume. Black robe - hoodie with white accents easy to sew with your own hands. Scorched or bleeding occult signs give the image an ominous, repulsive appearance. Not one evil force will risk approaching.

The peculiarity of the doll is the fixed “glass” look, which can be achieved with the help of carnival lenses, currently represented by a wide assortment in many Internet and ordinary optics stores.

Doll lips bow, large freckles, dress a la Soviet school uniform - and the doll is ready.

Dressing up a skeleton on Halloween is a classic of the genre, and is also a budget option. If finances do not allow you to purchase a ready-made suit, it is easy to cut the bones from suitable paper and sew them into a set consisting of black tight-fitting trousers and a turtleneck. It remains for the small - to choose the appropriate makeup.

The costume of warring with Batman Joker often occupies a leading position in the ranking of the most popular Halloween outfits.

Stylized crazy clown with green hair, deathly pale skin and a terrible scar in the form of a smile on his entire face will not leave anyone indifferent. His image is not difficult to recreate, since in addition to makeup and a wig, only a purple jacket is needed - an integral part of the image of the Joker.

The color scheme of the shirt is not fundamentally important, anyone will suit a tie, the main thing is to be bright, and purple trousers will successfully replace black ones.

If you do not want to specifically buy a wig for a party, you can use gouache. It is easily washed off and does not damage the hair.

Zombies are makeup, carnival lenses, battered clothes in holes and imitations of wounds. The main focus on the face. It is important to display empty eye sockets, a look through and the accompanying skin color.

It looks especially impressive when a girl hides in the bowels of a magnificent white dress with an imitation of bloody stains, sticks her head into an incision at the waist and holds her head with her hands. The spectacle is not for the faint of heart.

The Prince of Darkness deservedly bears the title of the most popular character of Halloween parties. His suit is as gloomy as beautiful. From Dracula blows pride, loneliness and death. A long black raincoat or dress coat, a bright crimson-red vest and a bleached face contribute to the image.

Pretty simple image, but not devoid of raisins. Spacious black hoodie to toe, a mask or make-up and an indispensable attribute of sham.

Clowns are different, but for the holiday Halloween definitely fit awesome in the spirit of the Joker. Although, why not dress up in a traditional style? Who knows her, this evil spirit, maybe she is afraid only of persons in makeup. A little bloody tear, however, will not be superfluous.

An image that is both repulsive and appealing. So the rabbit numb before the boa. It seems to be necessary and run, but there is no strength to move. Horns - the main part. And a bright red suit, preferably of shiny latex. Victims can not be avoided!

The suit is suitable for both male and female half of the population. The main elements of the image are a bandana, or a headdress in the spirit of pirates of the Caribbean, a shabby vest, vest or shirt with awesome symbols, and boots — jack boots. Makeup, stylized mask of death will be the way.

Over the creation of the appropriate bow will have to sweat pretty. The queen of spades assumes the presence of a smart head of hair, arranged in a fanciful way, imitating the peak suit, or a black wig.A magnificent dress with figs, a corset and a jabot, plus gloves, make up, in a word, the version is completely off-budget, but very chic.

A claim to the most ambiguous image. An outfit consisting of a lush, short purple sundress that emphasizes the charm of the female body breathes sensuality and excites the imagination. It is intertwined with children's naivety, depravity and grace. Depending on the desired effect, the costume can be supplemented with accessories that are different from the original. For example, it would be logical to replace the contents of the basket with frightening models of severed heads or the notorious red cap to change to a waving raincoat with a hood, which is associated with the hood of Death. Success is guaranteed!

The costume is similar to the Outfit of the Queen of Spades, with the exception of colors and symbols. According to the English legend, Queen Maria Tudor was distinguished by unjustified cruelty and passion for violence. For the history of his reign, she burned over three hundred people at the stake, for which she received the title Bloody Mary. Decent look for the holiday of Halloween.

The main focus is on skin color, so you have to thoroughly work with the makeup. The effect of wet attire and wet hair gives the appearance of frightening believability.

Osama Bin Laden is not complex in performance and will require a minimum of makeup, as the famous beard is a good alternative to make-up. With a white hoodie, too much fuss is not presented. Cheap and angry.

The horror on the wings of the night is about him! Face with a gaping hole instead of a nose and a smile from ear to ear will make you remember the crazy clown Joker, and the sinister mask familiar from the movie “Saw”, and the nightmarish night visitor. Behold and tremble!

Those who want to recreate this beauty will need makeup, carnival lenses and the maximum time and patience. But there will definitely be no indifferent.

If no idea appeals to one's mind, you can recall such horror stories from films like ghosts, ghosts, Mummy, Lucifer, Van Helsing, Frankenstein, Warlock, or give vent to imagination and imagination and create your own character. The main thing, do not forget to erase the makeup after the party, otherwise seeing yourself in the mirror the next morning, you risk remaining stuttering.

For those who are planning to go to a party in the company of a friend or family member, there are many ideas for a pair of costumes. Here are the Simpsons, and Bonnie and Clyde, and the Addams family, and simple unpretentious images like a pair of mobile phones, a pair of bananas, a big bra, etc.

What suits are the best - designers offer

According to the designers, the most effective and win-win option to pass for your own in a costume party is to resort to using accessories. Ears, horns, caps, wings, fangs, veil will easily save the situation, and Dolce & Gabbana did everything possible to make these accessories easy to find on sale.

The theme of the skeleton, the skull will never lose its relevance. Many designers borrowed a popular print in the creation of collections of carnival clothing, and also attended to the release of the appropriate form of jewelry. Philipp Plein, Alexander McQueen recommend not to neglect the buckles, rings, clutches and other trifles to create an image.

The most appropriate for the holiday style of clothing - Gothic. This is where the fans of clear forms and rich tones will have their freedom.

Marc Jacobs proposes to complement the outfits with torn tights, rough shoes and black lipstick. Black leather capes and bat sleeves are the absolute trend of the season.

The horror multiplied by the grotesque is always impressive and inspiring for new masterpieces. Designer from Japan Rei K Awakubo promotes hypertrophicity, distorting the appearance of the line, changing the silhouette.Her collection, released under the brand Comme des Garcons, breaks stereotypes and produces the effect of a bombshell.

Well, where are the extravagant shoes of Christian Louboutin?

and his colleagues in the shop.

Crutches shoes for a holiday come in handy at the right time!

As is known, details, namely competent, successful makeup and accessories, give completeness to the image. Fashion shows are replete with models, as if not from this world, differing in ghostly white faces and make-up, which is associated with the next world. To achieve a similar effect, it is necessary to mix loose powder with eye shadow of a blue shade and apply with a thick layer on the face.

Carnival lenses will help to make a look unusual, hypnotizing, sinister and fascinating. You can find them in the optics salons or online stores.

An important role is given to the wig. Firstly, it will save hair from the negative effects of paint and electric tongs, and secondly, it will significantly save time.

Manicure can be concise, no frills, just black nail polish, and can claim to be a work of art, imitate sharp claws with a fancy pattern.

You can also pay attention to the false lashes. They will help create the illusion of web-entangled eyes.

"Decorate" the face with scars and wounds is not difficult, but you will need liquid for skin tightening. Pink cosmetic pencil in the desired place mark a scar, cover with a special liquid. Let it dry and apply again. Wait for the final drying, cover the scar with a highlighter - a cosmetic for highlighting certain areas of the face and blend the foundation. You can add a little pink lipstick with the final touch and the scar is ready!

Given that the carnival costume is not needed so often, then a reasonable question arises, isn’t it profitable to rent it? On average, the cost of rental is estimated at 1500 rubles per day, which makes the service quite profitable. Home-made outfit will be inferior in quality to the factory, unless, of course, among the household there is no chance that there is a fashion designer and seamstress in one person, therefore hire is a time saving and professional tailoring.

Of the minuses it can be noted that it may not be the right size, since the booking is made a month before the required date. When making a contract for the implementation of services, the client must be prepared for having to pay a deposit in the amount of three times the daily cost of rent. Upon returning the costume, the customer will receive a deposit back.

You should not discount the force majeure like the case when the outfit during the operation turns out to be hopelessly flawed, which leads to the payment of the cost and costumes, and hire. And also there is a risk to get on additional monetary bribe when delaying the return of goods.

To hire, sew yourself or buy a ready-made carnival costume, everyone decides for himself, but if you are a neat, obliging and punctual person, it makes sense to use the services of tenants.
