Top Halloween Costume Ideas

With Halloween just round the corner, you’re probably looking for that one perfect costume that will make you the talk of social media. With a little luck, you might just feature in one of those daily humor websites (hopefully not with an epic fail hash tag).

Decide whether you want to be sweet, raunchy or downright scary. Apart from the costume your makeup plays a huge part, so be sure to get that right.

Bride of Frankenstein

This is a safe and timeless costume and with the right makeup, this definitely would scare a toddler off.

Zombies

This is a pretty common costume idea now, thanks to Zombie Apocalypse. Try to bring in variations I came across a picture a few days back, the entire look of which depended upon the right makeup rather than the costume. Makeup really does play an important part, here’s one of the best zombie makeup tutorial videos I found on Youtube, she really does put in a lot of effort and the look is very detailed and yes gruesome!

Superheroes

2012 is the year of superheroes and seriously you are spoilt for choice here. Whether you went to dress up as Hulk, Thor or the Incredibles it is your call.

While we are at superhero costumes, there is one super villain (and he is way hotter) costume that you just can’t resist. Honestly, I love how this girl has managed to pull this off better than most guys!

Fairies and Princesses

Want to look like you have just stepped out of a Disney movie? Try out the traditional Tinkerbelle costume or maybe the little mermaid, albeit with a touch of contemporary. If you are worried about carrying off a fairy dress being a grown up, then just add your own little touch whether in the form of makeup or how about doing a good fairy gone bad?

Kinky

There’s no beating the old school nurse’s uniform if you want to raise the oomph through the roof on Halloween. That is your safest bet, for a different look try Catwoman, a female Spanish pirate, genie, wonder woman or a bunny costume.

Abstract

Why not dress up as a hamburger or a Wrigley’s gum? Would dressing up in an iPod or Facebook costume make you look more social media savy? I saw a woman dress up as spaghetti and meatballs, now I understand that might be her favorite dish but must she be so blatantly obvious about it. Get creative yes but don’t be stupid.

Kids

It’s trick or treat time for them and kids dressed up in Halloween costumes look so adorable!
This cute little thing looks delicious in his Starbuck costume tagging along a menu card.

I can eat her up, she’s just so so so cute and love that expression!

Free puppies anyone? This is a very creative costume idea and if you do have a pet (preferably a puppy) you can make it a part of the costume.

Be creative and Happy Halloween!
