Female characters for Halloween. Who can you be for Halloween? Scary Halloween masks, pumpkin, carnival costumes, room, home decoration. Basic Halloween Costume Ideas

(this is especially true for English lessons and youth parties). Both need bright and original ideas for unforgettable images

Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to purchase cool suit in the store. Still, the price tags for the holiday attributes there leave much to be desired. In addition, there is a high probability that you will need the suit once, and then it will gather dust in the closet as wedding dress(for which, by the way, this is quite appropriate: a turning point in life, after all).

Today I will show you options that can be easily done at home and at the same time use the created outfits for other purposes in the future.

There are ideas for both boys and girls.

TOP of the best DIY Halloween costumes in 2019-2020 for girls with photos

We'll start with women's Halloween costumes, since they love to dress up much more than guys. There will be both classic and very extravagant outfits.

Nurse

Cool Halloween outfit idea on a budget. All you need is a nurse's uniform (you can buy it in specialized stores or in rental and sales stores festive costumes). A cap, an abundance of syringes and fake blood will complete the image.

Maybe you want to take a swing at the Nurse from Silent Hill? This will be a little more difficult than the previous option.

For a doctor's assistant, you will need to wrap your face with a lot of bandages soaked in tea leaves.

In detail, the components of the image look like this: simple form nurses, lots of bandages and tea bags and fake blood (sold in specialty stores). Soak the suit with bandages in tea leaves and add a little fake blood. Cover your face with bandages, leaving holes for breathing and vision.

Dead Bride

The now popular corpse bride costume will be more difficult to create, but it is quite possible to make it at home. Stock up on blue makeup, tinted shampoo or a wig and an outfit reminiscent of a wedding dress. Its edges will need to be processed accordingly. Artificial flowers will complement the look.

Want to break away from Burton's heroine? Then a beautiful evening dress and an abundance of makeup will help you out, creating the impression of a tired, beaten and very scary face.

Doll

Very simple and original costume, which is quite inexpensive to implement. You just need to take a simple cut dress, white knee socks and apply makeup that simulates fatigue and soreness. An abundance of bows, toys and long eyelashes are welcome. The look for the party is ready!

Vampire

When wearing a vampire (or vampire) costume, the main thing is to follow the “dress code”: large number black clothes, a mask, gothic jewelry and provocative makeup. You can also make up your face for Dracula light shades. Small fake fangs and red lenses will also come in handy.

Nun

For a nun, take a simple festive dress (you can even buy one for such an occasion). Accessorize it with a white homemade collar and headpiece. The latter can be made from a white border of fabric and a long piece of black fabric sewn to it. An unusual look is more suitable for adults.

Death

Absolute freedom for creativity! Don't forget to wear matching jewelry, like the one below. This alone will make you the queen of the holiday, even if there is no costume specially made for this occasion.

Harley Quinn

Take a closer look at the components of a cool Harley costume worn on Halloween. Much of this can be made yourself or purchased in specialized stores.

If you simplify the image of the heroine, then you can get by with black leggings and ankle boots and generally use stylization.

Fairy

Let's not forget about the cute costumes. This outfit can be made from scrap materials. For example, if you stock up on artificial ivy, you can use ordinary sandals to make beautiful, unusual shoes for a forest dweller.

For a suit, take a long piece of transparent fabric, a base (thick cord) and a lining underneath (a thin blouse). Lay a cord along the neck of the blouse and tie many strips of fabric next to each other, pressing them tightly together. Don't forget about wings and a magic wand.

fallen angel

Which main element from an angel? That's right, wings. These are the ones we will create today.

Prepare feathers, thick cardboard, a glue gun, white paint, a wide satin ribbon, newspapers, scissors and a brush.

All you need to do is draw and cut out a suitable blank from cardboard (it should consist of two parts). Then glue some newspaper on top to make the wings more natural.

Once both pieces are finished, glue them together and wrap with tape. From the ribbon, make fastenings that can be tied (the master class with photos also shows the possible arrangement of the ribbons).

These wings can be worn with any white dress, and it will become a full-fledged angel costume.

Witch

For the witch you will need a couple of old t-shirts, scissors, thread, a small plastic cone, black felt and assorted decorative items as desired.

Cut the black T-shirt according to the photo. But from green in combination with black, sew a decorative strip, make cuts on it.

Sew the center wedge back. Trim the sleeves and make numerous cuts on them. Sew the updated sleeves to the old T-shirt. Decorate with ties. All!

For the hat, cut a felt circle with a hole in the center. Then make a cone (roll part of the circle) and attach it on top. Decorate as desired.

By the way, an original and unexpected accessory would go well with this look. For example, an unusual mask. Among all the witches, you will definitely be the most unusual with her.

A more playful and lighter option can be built using cardboard and corrugated paper. Use a headband or hair clips as a base.

Maleficent

The true story of this unfortunate fairy touched many. And the image invented by the authors inspires one to transform into this heroine.

Clownness

A flirty look for real ladies.

Little Red Riding Hood

A light dress and a couple of discreet accessories are all you need.

Cartoon or anime heroine

Black Catwoman

The most labor intensive costume, but it's worth it

So, what will you need?

For ears:

• faux fur in primary color;
• fleece for inside ears (preferably pink, white or black);
• a piece of long-haired fur;
• wire with a diameter of 3 mm for the frame (you can use any wire, as long as it holds its shape);
• threads;
• hair clips (it is better to choose ones that are as similar as possible to the color of your hair);
• wire cutters.

For the collar:

• leatherette (artificial leather);
• decorative elastic band (see photo);
• rhinestones (several dozen, depending on the circumference of your neck).

For paws:

• faux fur;
• fleece for pillows;
• lining fabric for the back of the paws (you can also use fleece);
• linen elastic;
• safety pin.

For the ponytail:

• faux fur (width should be equal to the expected length of the tail);
• satin ribbon;
• decorative metal ring (or wire for such a ring);
• bell;
• brooch mount (sold in fabric stores, see photo).

Additional materials:

• padding polyester;
• bells;
• metal rings (they can be created from wire);
• scissors;
• paper for patterns;
• pencil;
• glue "Moment".

Ears

1. Copy the ear patterns. The height should be approximately 7-9 cm.
2. Now transfer the pattern in two mirror copies onto the faux fur and onto the fleece. Don't forget about seam allowances (about 0.5 - 1 cm)! Baste and then sew the ears on sewing machine or manually.
3. Take the wire and attach it to the eye, cut it, focusing on the resulting length with a small margin, and wrap the remaining tip around the other. You will need about 40 - 45 cm.
4. Turn the ears outward and insert the wire frame inside. Sew up the edge hidden seam, bending the edges inward. Give the ears the desired shape.
5. Sew a piece of long-haired fur on the inside as in the picture. Place a small amount of instant glue in the middle of the edges of the hairpins and quickly press them to the middle of the ears.

Collar

1. Measure your neck circumference. From artificial leather, cut 2 pieces of size (2.5 cm x neck circumference in centimeters), and cut the same amount from decorative elastic. You don't have to use an elastic band.
2. Cut two pieces satin ribbon about 15 cm long, burn the edges so as not to crumble. Coat the elastic band and the edges of the tape well with glue on both sides and place it between two pieces of leatherette. Glue the rhinestones.

Paws

1. Print out the patterns. I used crimson lines on the first pattern to mark the places where the pads would be sewn on. Transfer the templates to the fabric and cut them out, leaving 5 - 7 mm for an allowance.
2. At the bottom of the paws you need to leave 1.5 - 2 cm for bending and inserting the elastic! This applies to both main parts and lining parts. After the parts are cut out, baste and then sew together two parts of the outer, fur layer, and the back, fleece layer for each foot.
3. Now turn the backing layer for each foot inside out and put it on the main parts that have not yet been turned out and sew the edge with an overcast stitch by hand or with a zigzag on a sewing machine.
4. Without turning the entire workpiece inside out, sweep the edge of the legs to prevent fraying. Fold the edges of the legs as shown in the picture and sew at a distance of 5 mm from the border. Make a small cut in one place on the side to insert an elastic band.
5. Cut the elastic bands so that your wrist is comfortable + a small margin for stitching.
6. Pass a pin through the cut piece of elastic and pull it through the hole left until the pin appears at the opposite end. Pull out the pin and sew the ends of the elastic together.
7. Turn it inside out. Let's start with the pads: sew all the pads along the edge with a forward-needle stitch, and then pull them a little and stuff them with padding polyester. Secure them a little with a few stitches.
8. Tighten the largest pad with a thread in two places. Sew the pads to the paws using a blind stitch so as not to catch the inner lining layer. All)

Tail

I made the tail length about 80 cm, but it can be shorter.

I don't recommend doing too much long tail, because turning it inside out will be a complete pain. To achieve the desired length, simply extend the pattern by continuing straight lines.

1. Cut out the tail as shown below. (The side without a seam is the fold line.) Leave allowances.
2. Now sew by folding it in half and leaving an opening for turning it inside out. Now slowly turn it inside out while stuffing the workpiece. Sew the hole closed or overcast.
3. All that remains is to sew on the brooch mount and decorate the tail with a bow made from a ribbon with a bell (optional).

Other cats

An unusual idea would be a Maneki Neko or cat thief costume. Try on the image of a Cheshire cat.

For pregnant women

Nevertheless, this wonderful female state imposes some difficulties when choosing a suit. On the other hand, you can pay attention to more daring and extravagant options.

Couples Halloween Costumes

For a couple (or even for a whole family), creating costumes with your own hands is much more interesting, because creating a mongeau is very unusual composition. For example, a family of bees.

Lightning and its victim.

Dracula and his vampire.

And a couple of robbers are generally beyond all praise.

Well, everyone’s favorite clowns after the acclaimed film “It”.

Men's suits for the holiday

For men, aesthetics are not as important as instilling fear in public. This is where we will start from.

Zombie

The main element for zombies is definitely makeup. For this you will need a pack of face paints, black matte eye shadow and a marker.

See the photo for the process of creating a scary image.

This makeup is suitable for a skeleton, a zombie, and a vampire. For zombies, I would also recommend applying a lot of bruises with red lip gloss.

Mummy

Surely everyone knows the classic version of a mummy with toilet paper wrapping. But you must admit, such a very short-lived option can easily ruin the whole event, even if there is no rain (what if you knock the glass over yourself?))

To create a more durable suit you will need: white fabric(you can use bandages), a few safety pins and some black (or gray) dry pastels and hairspray.

The creation process is brilliantly simple:

1. Cut the fabric into long stripes about 8-12 cm wide and the length you need.
2. Remember carefully and rub the material in your hands; if the fabric is loose, then pay special attention to the edge.
3. In some places of the bandages or fabric, rub thoroughly with fine dry pastel. This is necessary for the aged effect of the bandages.
4. Spray thoroughly with varnish so that the pastel does not rub off.
5. Wrap the fabric in the right places and pin it together so it doesn’t fall off.

To complete the effect, you can also apply makeup, but more about this in the paragraph about zombies.

Skeleton

For this you will need black clothes. It could be a dress, dark jeans with a T-shirt, or just long black pajamas.

Let's consider two creation options:

Option 1: In addition to clothes, prepare bone patterns (you can draw them yourself), a pencil and acrylic paints.

Option 2: Again, you need patterns and a pencil. But instead of paints, prepare a few pieces white felt(can be purchased at any fabric store). Also don't forget to take scissors and white thread.

Cut out the bones from felt according to the template. Then sew the bone parts to the clothing with thread in several places. It is not necessary to sew completely along the edge, you can literally sew it on the corners so that the bones do not fall off.

The easiest way to get a Halloween costume is to buy a ready-made one. And if you are creative and have a lot of free time, create an outfit with my own hands! At the same time, you will save an impressive amount.

Advantage: The more untidy the better.

Disadvantage: A successful costume can seriously frighten small children.

What you will need: old rags, eye shadow and red lipstick.

How to do: wear the oldest things, or shred unnecessary clothes. Use red lipstick to apply bloody stains to your skin and clothes. Gray, green, blue and black shadows will help create traces of dirt and corpse stains.

Advantage: The main advantage of this image is that it is cheap and can be created in a matter of minutes.

Disadvantage: the costume will be disposable and there is a high chance that you will not be the only mummy at the party. And the worst disadvantage of the outfit is that... it’s uncomfortable to go to the toilet in it. Do not wrap strategically important parts of the body.

What you will need: bandages or toilet paper. Many, many rolls.

How to do it: Simply wrap yourself in toilet paper. However, it tears too easily, so we recommend taking bandages. To enhance the effect, spill weak coffee on them in advance. When the stains dry, it will seem as if you have just emerged from a tomb strewn with sand and dust. Do not try to carefully wrap the strips of bandages. Loose patches and threads will give a shabby look.

Advantage: Unlike bandages and toilet paper, the vampire costume can be reused.

Disadvantage: The teeth will have to be removed if you want to eat anything.

What you will need: black clothes and shoes. Black eye shadow and lipstick, or red lipstick. False fangs.

How to do it: dress up in black clothes. Men can pair it with a crisp white shirt. A black cape or cloak would not be out of place (they can be quickly made from a piece of black fabric by simply sewing on ribbons and tying them around the neck). Girls can safely pull them out of closets evening dresses school graduations. Any dark colors will do. False fangs will complete the look.

"Hell's Angel"

Advantage: Suitable for repeated use.

Disadvantage: friends will pester you with the phrases “let me try it on” and “I’ll quickly take a photo and give it to you.”

What you will need: black clothes and black wings.

How to make: Simply put on the wings.

Advantage: complex makeup can be replaced with a skeleton mask, which is very easy to buy. And you don’t need to do your hair, just throw a hood over your head.

Disadvantage: It will be difficult to seduce anyone in this outfit.

What you will need: black robes and cape. Mask and braid.

How to do it: if you don’t have a mask at home, and you don’t know how to do complex makeup, just apply very pale powder to your face. This will make the skin appear drained of blood. The cassock can be replaced with a black robe and trousers. And what? Bony also follows fashion.

"Freddy Krueger"

Advantage: easily recognizable costume. It is unlikely that you will be asked who you dressed up as.

Disadvantage: Kruger's glove will require some fiddling. The easiest way to order it is in online stores.

What you will need: hat, Kruger glove, old striped sweater. The classic version is red and dark green striped. But it can be replaced with red-black or red-brown. We put on a Freddy mask, or draw burns using cosmetics. However, the outfit looks great even without them.

How to do it: for the men's version, wear a sweater and dark trousers. Girls can wear a striped tunic for a very playful and sexy outfit. To make it look scarier, make four cuts on the clothes, imitating the marks from Freddy's fingers.

Advantage: It is very easy to select the necessary elements. There will be no end to men.

Disadvantage: excessive interest from men will tire you out pretty quickly.

What you will need: any black and tight-fitting clothes: stockings, dress (preferably mini), short skirt or shorts, tight pants, a tank top or black swimsuit top and gloves. Mask, false ears.

How to make: you can buy a black half mask and cat ears, or you can make it yourself. Attach ears made of thick material to a hair hoop, and cut out a mask from paper or fabric. Instead of a mask, you can apply “cat” makeup by drawing almond-shaped arrows near the eyes, nose and whiskers.

"Alex"

Advantage: The necessary accessories are not difficult to find.

Disadvantage: Unfortunately, few people will recognize your hero.

What you will need: black bowler hat, cane, suspenders, white clothes(underpants can be easily replaced with white trousers or a skirt - in the women's version), black shoes or boots.

How to: Besides the bowler hat and braces, Alex's main distinguishing feature is his look. Using a pencil, draw thick eyelashes around the right eye. To make it seem even more expressive, use false eyelashes.

Advantage: A spectacular suit can be worn many times.

Disadvantage: creating an outfit will take an hour or two.

What you will need: any old clothes that you don’t mind parting with. Pieces of fur, gloves, werewolf mask or cosmetics. False fangs.

How to do it: Sew pieces of fur to the clothing so that they resemble wool coming through the holes. You can attach them with glue, but the fur will fall off after washing. We attach the fur to the gloves. If there is no mask, draw dark pencil thick eyebrows and a wolf nose.

"Wicked Witch"

Advantage: beautiful and durable outfit. In addition, it is not easily soiled!

Disadvantages: haven't figured it out yet.

What you will need: black dress any length, black shoes, hat, broom.

How to make: if you don’t have the hat you need, you can make it by following the instructions of numerous step-by-step lessons that you can easily find on the Internet. All you need is some black cardboard, scissors and tape. You can make a broom with your own hands by attaching broom rods to a long stick.

When going to a masquerade, some choose an image that reflects their essence. Others, on the contrary, strive to become different from themselves. Whatever costume you choose, we hope you have a great time. Happy Halloween!

For a witch you will definitely need a cloak and a broom. A pointed hat will complement the suit.

A dark dress can be of any length. Accessories will play a big role here.

Halloween dolls can be both scary and evil and cute and funny.

In the first case, we select an outfit in the style of a dead doll, a killer doll or a zombie doll. An interesting image is a Voodoo doll, where various mystical things come in handy.

But a cute doll would be in the image of Malvina, Barbie or another fairy-tale character.

By the way, you will have to work with such a costume no less than with an evil character.

The main thing in a cat costume is what they did, namely the ears, whiskers and tail.

This costume is suitable for both an adult woman and a small cat.

For a nurse, you will definitely need a short robe, which can be easily made from a real medical gown by shortening it.

If instead of a suit you decide to wear a white blouse and skirt, shorts, be sure to draw or sew medical crosses. Consider the nurse's headgear, too.

It could be a cap or a cap, a headscarf. And, of course, medical equipment: handbags, syringes, stethoscope.

A man in the guise of a monk will need a dark cassock and, of course, a fake cross.

And women wear a long black dress with a closed collar.

The basis of the costume will be the usual sports suit or knee socks, leggings, black T-shirt.

The image should be emphasized by the wings, which we have to work on. You can make them by using wire as a base and covering it with dark fabric. Or use an old umbrella and cut it in half.

A bright character from your favorite mystical story will be a wonderful guest at Halloween.

Convey the eccentric character of the girl in the costume itself. To do this, do not skimp on colors, that is, choose colorful details to create an image. A bright flared blue skirt, high leg warmers or striped stockings, an apron and the look of Alice from Wonderland is ready.

Boring? Make your heroine a bloodthirsty killer or monster using these unusual Halloween costume ideas.

I liked the idea of ​​dressing up as a clown - think about whether he will be evil or kind.

Today, not everyone wants to transform into evil characters. Therefore, the image of a merry clown will also be appropriate at the holiday. You will need a bright multi-colored jumpsuit, a shaggy wig and a clown nose.

And be sure to learn how to masterfully perform a couple of tricks so that no one suspects that the clown is not real.

And the image of a police officer can become quite sexy if you do not focus on the horrific makeup and give more importance to the revealing uniform.

Be sure to add handcuffs from a sex shop to your costume, which you wear on your belt.

Prepare a fake baton from cardboard or foam rubber - it will be useful to discipline careless evil spirits.

And be sure to take a walkie-talkie. What kind of policeman is there without communication with otherworldly forces?

Halloween 2017 promises a lot of interesting images, mostly inspired by the global agenda. Hillary and Trump, Offred from The Handmaid's Tale, Beyoncé and many other newsmakers, of course, made a serious contribution to the formation of the top most popular images for Halloween. ELLE figured out which costumes you should pay attention to.

Offred

Simple looks that don't require a lot of preparation and can still make a big statement have always been considered the best for Halloween. One of the significant cultural events of 2017, the series “The Handmaid’s Tale” determined the main trend and the main Halloween image for a girl. There is no doubt that in every city on this night of November 1, crowds of young women in long purple cloaks with snow-white hoods on their heads will appear. Margaret Atwood's dystopian heroine Offred will paint the streets red - and from this spectacle, given the state modern world, you can be seriously scared. However, Offred’s costume, unlike many, will not be difficult to make - just find a piece of red fabric and turn it into a stole, and the bonnet can be easily cut out of white cardboard. To be even more convincing, you can learn a couple of memorable phrases from the code of laws of the dystopian Republic of Gilead.

Beyonce with twins

The second most popular Halloween costume this year promises to be the image of Beyoncé with her newborn twins. The photograph of the singer, which has gone down in the history of show business, can be easily recreated with the help of a fluffy bright satin dress with an obligatory neckline, a floral wreath and veil in her hair, and two doll babies sewn to her chest. The best thing about the costume is that it’s easy to create such a beautiful Halloween look with your own hands - the dress, accessories, and even plastic babies can easily be found in your own closet.

"Game of Thrones"

Any image from Game of Thrones will be a sure-fire choice for Halloween 2017. The scariest images from it are usually the most popular, but any attempt to try on one or another hero of the most iconic series recent years will certainly turn out to be a success.

Halloween costumes such as Catwoman (any cat look with distinctive makeup and costume details), Shrek, Harley Quinn, and the ubiquitous witch and vampire (and the vampire look too) continue to be in demand and are sure to be present at parties in honor of the holiday. Those who are close to the image of a nurse or light images of ghosts can also have no doubt about their relevance. In addition to the masks of politicians (Hillary and Trump continue to lead in the number of Halloween looks in this category), images of the doll (best of all the scary one from “The Night Before Christmas” or “Bride of Chucky”) and the bride from “Kill Bill” Quentin continue to be trendy Tarantino. The image of Wonder Woman from the film of the same name will be very popular, as well as a copy of the “explosive blonde” performed by Charlize Theron.

If you choose an image for a guy, popular options will be the same heroes of “Game of Thrones” led by Jon Snow, the hero of the series “Westworld” Teddy Flood, the hero of Jude Law from “The Young Pope”, as well as David S. Pumpkins - with first sight (and first joke) of Tom Hanks's character from the weekly comedy television program "Saturday Night" that captivated North American audiences. live" A costume with pumpkins, a curly wig and two accompanying skeletons are a permanent attribute of the comic image.

Shoes: neat stiletto heels. But, of course, no one canceled the flight of fantasy. You can also pair a little black “Elvirino” dress with chunky platform shoes and high heels.

Makeup: eyes highlighted with black pencil and bright lipstick

Manicure: black stiletto nails.

Accessories: massive of yellow metal, with shiny crystals.

Character: Elvira is passionate about her own business - witchcraft. At the same time she has kind heart. And she has a great sense of humor.

Because in such an outfit it will be, quite simply, hot. If you find a tight-fitting jumpsuit made of velvet, velor or satin, the look will also be quite successful.

Shoes: high leather boots, tight-fitting in the calf area. Or fetish stockings and boots.

However, in order to avoid causing party guests to fall and trip over the coattails of your outfit, and to feel freer yourself, you can simplify your costume somewhat. It is enough to choose a fitted maxi dress from a “rich” fabric - with a sheen.

Shoes: elegant ankle boots with a pointed toe, low on the run.

Accessories: In order for others to recognize you as Maleficent, you need to get a headdress - black elegant horns (as in the photo). You can also take with you dark wings - as voluminous as the heroine’s. But it is advisable to find out in advance about the capabilities of the institution you are going to. After all, getting stuck somewhere in a doorway is not the best way to have fun. Although there is every possibility of becoming the highlight of the program..

Makeup: you can try to structure the face, give plumpness to the lips, cheekbones - a pronounced relief. In a word - look like Jolie. By the way, some video bloggers devote entire vlogs to creating makeup in the style of Angelina Jolie.

If you don’t want to repeat Jolie’s facial features, just buy malachite-colored lenses and paint your lips with dark red lipstick.

Hairstyle: smooth straightened hair.

Character: Maleficent is an evil sorceress. And in this she feels her strength. But by its nature it is not so formidable. She was made angry by the people who encroached on her home - the forest. In the film, Maleficent reveals the full spectrum of her character, once again confirming the thesis that everything in our lives is relative.

Brides of Dracula

So-so" VIA Gra"Vampire-style - a trio of Dracula's brides from the film "Van Helsing". You can share the idea of ​​Dracula's bride costumes with two of your friends. Or you can appear alone at a party as the bride of the Prince of Darkness.

Cloth: something between an antique dress, a belly dance costume and an Empire style peignoir. In any case, you should give preference to translucent fabrics of light colors in warm colors: from ecru to delicate peach. It is also good to use lace elements and gold.

Shoes: gold shoes, elegant ankle boots in light colors.

Accessories: pearls, yellow metal jewelry, stand-up collars, velvets - this is the case when anything is possible. And even at the same time! The main thing is not to forget to put on artificial fangs and smile more often, so that others understand who they are dealing with. And even more important, don’t forget to take off those fangs after the party. It is unknown what the reaction of your boss and colleagues will be if you apply for a job with such a device.

Makeup: It is important to highlight the eyes with a black pencil and draw a clear line for the eyebrows. Lipstick - as befits a glamorous vampire, red. For extra authenticity, you can use lenses of the lightest green shade.

Hairstyle: Loose hair of a reddish hue. If you don't want to radically change your hair color, you can use a tinted mousse or a wig.

Girl from TV. Call

If you absolutely can't find the time to create an elaborate Halloween look, don't worry. Remember the girl who crawled out of the well and out of the TV in the horror movie "The Ring"?

Cloth: white long dress or shirt. Only its purity will have to be sacrificed - the water in the well is stagnant, the TV is also not the most crystal clear object. So, the dress needs to be artificially soiled and aged. Otherwise, no one will believe you that you are the one from “The Ring”. You can purchase a special dye for fabric in gray and blue tones. The main thing here is not to overdo it - you want to achieve the color of dust.

Shoes: hmm... actually, the heroine of "The Ring" didn't bother with shoes - she walked barefoot. If you are going to a party with friends, this option is also possible. But you can wear any tight-fitting shoes, and on top - nude thick socks. Or add a grunge touch to your look by wearing boots a la Dr. Martens.

Accessories: Decoration is strict here - an absolute lack of accessories.

Makeup and hairstyle: This is exactly the case when you won’t have to worry about whether your mascara has run or whether your lipstick has smudged. As we remember, the girl from the call covered her face with her hair. There is a plus in using an image - while others are stuffing their skin with theatrical makeup, you are relaxing! True, there is one colossal disadvantage in choosing this image - you need to walk very slowly and look through your own hair so as not to accidentally bump into anyone!

Character: definitely challenging!

And most importantly, no matter what image you choose, remember: Halloween is only one day of the year. Don't play around! And know moderation in the wild celebrations. And if you think the show must go on, come up with a completely different reason for the party.
