In our country, Halloween is not quite a holiday, but more an occasion to have fun. You could even say scary fun, in every sense of the word – creepy Halloween 2022 costumes are one of the main attributes of this day.
The year of the Celts, who inhabited a significant part of Europe, was divided into two parts: bright, good (from May to October) and dark, evil (from November to April). They shared the holiday of Samhain, which fell on October 31. It was believed that with the onset of night, an invisible door to the world of spirits opened. The deceased ancestors came to visit their descendants through it, but evil spirits could slip along with them. To frighten her away, the Celts burned fires, made sacrifices to the gods and put on animal skins.
In the 1th century, in order to oust pagan traditions, the Catholic Church declared November 31 to be All Saints’ Day. October XNUMX was called All Hallows’ Eve (“All Saints’ Eve”), eventually shortened to Halloween and overgrown with its own traditions. In particular, Celtic skins were transformed into carnival costumes. Now in the United States, for example, the annual profit from their sales is several billion dollars.
You can also buy a Halloween costume in stores. There are budget options up to 1000 rubles, you can also find complex models with a lot of paraphernalia for 5000-7000 rubles. The costume is easy to buy in the store or make it yourself.

Costume de Halloween pentru fete
The flight of fancy in terms of choosing a Halloween costume is really big. In our country, to create images, dark shades or combinations of bright colors are most often chosen. You can choose a costume yourself or ask a stylist for help. Women’s images for Halloween are not only witch or nun costumes. We bring diversity and look for new options to create an unforgettable atmosphere at the holiday.
1. Witch costume
You can choose a dress of any style and not necessarily black, for example, with a colored petticoat. Or on any colored (but monophonic is better, otherwise the witch’s costume can be easily confused with the gypsy costume) outfit, it is enough to put on a black vest, cape or wide belt. If the dress is short, pick up unusual leggings, stockings or tights – bright striped, in a large mesh or with holes, with any patterns.
The witch is usually depicted riding a broomstick, but it is not very convenient to carry it with you all evening. Replace it with a magic wand, pumpkin or skull. And be sure to buy a pointed hat. Also well complement the image of long false nails and a large number of large jewelry.
Advice from stylist Veronika Okolova:
“You can repeat the image of such a famous witch as Vătămător. This heroine’s main feature is sharp cheekbones. They can be made using gummoz – a means for theatrical makeup. It resembles plasticine, you can form different elements from it and stick it on the skin. The tone should be made as light as possible, draw wide arrows in front of the eyes, glue voluminous false eyelashes. We make the lips bright red and as graphic as possible. Shadows under the cheekbones can be enhanced with black or dark brown.
In order to make the horns of Maleficent, you will need a headband and Velcro curlers. The sticky base must be cut off from the frame of the curlers, attach several of these bases to the rim and form horns from them. Then just put the headband on your hair and wrap the horns in a spiral with strands. The hair itself will be fixed on a sticky basis and will hold well.
By the way, recently another movie image has become popular at Halloween parties – Harley Quinn. Although it does not belong to evil spirits, it looks creepy. To look like the Joker’s girlfriend, make a dense light tone. For the eyes, use pink and blue shadows. Apply casually, under the eyes, pull the shadows down, imitating makeup smeared from tears. Make up your lips with red lipstick and draw a heart on your cheek with black eyeliner.
In order to make the same hairstyle as Harley, I recommend buying a blonde wig and dyeing it pink and blue. Well, either, if you don’t feel sorry for your beautiful blond, you can dye your own, and feel like Harley Quinn for a couple more months after Halloween. We make two ponytails, twist them with a curling iron for splendor – and you’re done!
2. Nuns costume
Girls can use any black dress from their wardrobe, complementing it with a white stand-up collar and / or a white shirt-front and a special headdress. It is easier to buy or sew than to try to build from improvised means.
Additional accessories that you will need are a large Catholic cross, a rosary or a “prayer book”: any small plain book or notebook will play its role. Make-up should be pale, with black accents on the eyes. Lips should be covered with white foundation and draw longitudinal cracks on the lips with a dark brown sharpened pencil.
3. Cat costume
The classic Halloween cat costume is all black. In addition to it, there is makeup in dark shades and accessories in color. In stores, you can find one-piece cat costumes, most often consisting of tight leggings and a tight-fitting top: T-shirts or longsleeves. You can diversify such an image with tulle or tulle: they make excellent tails, bracelets on the wrists and even ears.
An interesting option is the catwoman costume. A black mask is added to the tight-fitting suit, sometimes massive shoes or high boots. Complements the image of makeup: the ideal option would be makeup with an emphasis on the eyes. But do not forget about the expressive cat’s nose and small mustache.
If the black cat costume is too gloomy, you can try to dilute the image with orange. Or even make a three-color fawn suit.
4. Doll costume
To create an image, you will need a bright wig and expressive makeup. Equally important in this case is the costume. You can choose the option with porcelain doll, malvina, barbie doll, voodoo doll.
To become a porcelain doll on Halloween, you need to find a puffy dress, preferably with frills. Particular attention will have to be paid to makeup: bleached skin and eyeliner will give the image a special charm. You can complement the dress with accessories: add a bow for hair and a handbag in his color.
You can add makeup in similar shades to Malvina’s usual blue hair. Dress is better to choose a neutral color. It will be interesting to look “broken” makeup: it is done with the help of face painting.
For the image of Barbie, you will need a white wig and bright pink lipstick in the color of the dress. The face can be slightly whitened and colored lenses are worn: bright blue will look best.
5. Pumpkin costume
An interesting solution is to create a suit in two colors: orange and black. They can be alternated with each other: for example, give preference to a strip. Or make the top bright orange and the bottom black. An orange fluffy dress with a skirt made of tulle will look good: after all, it is possible to create the volume of a pumpkin with the help of this material.
If you choose the gourd-shaped face mask, then the main costume should look more relaxed. For example, completely black with orange accessories: jewelry, handbag.
Advice from stylist Veronika Okolova:
“This look is well complemented by smokey in yellow-orange tones. Be sure to highlight the upper and lower ciliary edge with a black pencil so that the look is bright. Matte black lipstick on the lips is ideal for such eyes. The nose and cheeks can be decorated with translated shiny freckles. And as a hairstyle for the image of a pumpkin, Afro curls are ideal. ”
6. Bride’s suit
The choice of the color of the dress is not always obvious: you can buy not just white, but peach or light blue. It can be done on your own. A popular trick is to leave blood stains on the fabric. This can be done using special acrylic paints. For high-quality spraying, an aerosol is usually used.
Where is the bride without a veil? It is most often sloppy, has an uneven cut and looks quite voluminous at the same time. Of the accessories, you should pay attention to the bouquet: you can make it from dried flowers, and tie it with a black ribbon.
7. Nurse costume
On a white background, red bloody spots look very intimidating: they can also be made using special paint. The suit of a medical worker will go as the basis, it is still better to choose white.
Accessories in this look do not just complement the costume, but create the basis for it. These can be syringes or scalpels, bloody with dyes, a phonendoscope or bandages. Makeup can be done in red colors: bright lipstick and emphasis on the eyes. And red lenses will give the image even more danger.
8. Mermaid costume
Turquoise and blue colors will help create a unique image of a mermaid. Shells and sequins are perfect for decorating the costume, which can be fixed with glitter. Here you should not be afraid that both the suit and makeup will be in the same shade: this effect must be achieved. To create a beautiful and lasting makeup, you need to use face painting. With it, skin color can be made turquoise or purple. And don’t forget about the wig: the combination of white and blue colors will look advantageous.
9. Angel costume
From a pleasant and snow-white image of an angel, you can make a frightening and frightening one. To do this, you need to work on the wings and costume. Angel wings can be made completely black, or you can take white ones and paint them in dark shades. Make cuts on the suit and, of course, add some red acrylic paint.
Makeup is best done shining, in pink tones. And nowhere without bruises and bruises, decorated with face painting.
10 Avatar Suit
The whole body can be painted with special paints in blue and make interesting patterns. The avatar’s hairstyle is quite interesting: many, many small black braids. You can find such a wig on the Internet, and make accessories yourself. Shells, small stones and medallions will be used.
Halloween costumes for men
You can make a memorable image yourself or buy a ready-made suit in a store. The main thing is not to forget to fantasize and implement the most interesting ideas.
1. Dead Man Suit
First, decide how long ago your dead person died. Based on this, any outfit needs to be either filled with “blood” (special fake or ordinary red paint), or aged as much as possible (cut, stained with gray paint to simulate dust, filled with bleach, denser fabrics can be rubbed with sandpaper or a regular kitchen grater).
Advice from stylist Veronika Okolova:
“For the image of a dead man, it is imperative to make a terrible wound on the face. In makeup stores, you can buy ready-made wounds that you just need to stick on any area of uXNUMXbuXNUMXbthe skin. And you can make it yourself. To do this, you need eyelash glue. It must be applied liberally to the skin in several layers. After drying, it will begin to burst, at this moment you need to apply red gouache on it and that’s it – a terrible wound is ready.
To make up the skeleton, you will need white and black face painting. First you need to make the whole face completely white, and then select the eye sockets, nose, shadows under the cheekbones with black and draw the teeth in the same black color. You can also draw cracks, it will be more effective.
2. Skeleton suit
There is one spectacular way to make a Halloween skeleton costume. To do this, you will have to sacrifice a T-shirt. Holes are cut out on it, repeating the contours of the ribs and spine. The templates for the front and back are also free to download. If the T-shirt is white, then you need to wear a black T-shirt or T-shirt under it, if it is black, then white.
3. Vampire costume
If you want the dead to look prettier, give preference to the image of a vampire. Its plus is that you can do without a costume at all, because the calling card of this character is fangs. Put on a light make-up and put on white or red contact lenses without diopters – and no one dares to approach you, so as not to be bitten. By the way, the peculiarity of carnival lenses is that most often they are sold by the piece, you can “repaint” each eye in your own color.
Advice from stylist Veronika Okolova:
“For this image, of course, you need terrible fangs. These pads are easy to buy on the Internet or a specialized store. There you can also buy artificial blood, which will drain from the corner of the lips, painted with bright scarlet lipstick. Here you can not bother with a clear outline, on the contrary, it is better to make it slightly smeared. As eye makeup, I recommend black long arrows and thick false eyelashes. Hair is best done straight and smooth, ideally if it is pure black or white. You can also buy a wig.
4. Monk costume
It is better to buy or sew a cassock of a medieval monk – an ordinary black hoodie with trousers will look unconvincing. In addition to it, you need a large cross, a rosary and a Bible.
Make-up for face tone pick up white, not flesh. Eyes can be brought black, and cracks can be added to the lips with the help of eyeliner.
Advice from stylist Veronika Okolova:
“It’s worth making pale, pale skin here. An ordinary foundation will not work – you need to look for white ones in professional cosmetics stores or buy white face painting and apply it in a thin layer. As an eye makeup, you can choose a casual black smoky, even if it is spread under the eyes. If you want to make your eye makeup more interesting, you can add red on the border with black and blend it thoroughly. We also cover the lips with a white foundation and draw longitudinal cracks on the lips with a dark brown sharply sharpened pencil. It will be dark and spectacular.”
5. Ghost costume
In stores there is a large selection of this kind of costume: a white cape with painted black eyes. This option is quite suitable and you can make a costume yourself. But if you want to diversify it, you should think about additional details.
You can even choose not fabric for the base, but cardboard. In the three-dimensional model, cut out holes for the arms and head, and paint the cardboard itself in different colors using ordinary paints. An interesting option and with the design using graffiti-style inscriptions.
6. Zombie costume
Zombies are one of the most popular Halloween characters. Green skin, torn clothes and bright lenses: all this will help you transform into a corpse that has risen from the earth.
As a basis, you can take ordinary clothes: a T-shirt and jeans. But you will need to work on their design. With the help of earth diluted in water, prints can be applied to the fabric, and colors can be added using special dyes. If a simple look is too banal, choose the costumes of a cook, a doctor, a pilot. Any of them could become zombies, that’s the beauty of it. You can paint the skin not completely, but in separate areas. It is better to apply makeup in advance and check it in action: how strong and long it can hold.
7. Monster suit
The monster can be a dinosaur, a Frankenstein, or a Night Demon: the choice is really big. In stores there are ready-made options with masks, and individual parts of costumes. For example, voluminous capes or hand pads made from bandages.
To make a monster costume yourself, you need to decide which option is most suitable. It will be easier to buy a mask, and make the costume itself from special materials. Tulle, dense fabric, models for creating false paws (if you choose the dinosaur option) will be used.
It is better to choose massive shoes, you do not need to do makeup if there is a mask. You can abandon the mask and make face painting using shading. The image of the monster will look intimidating.
8. Suit devil
Black overalls and red horns will make you a cute devil. But if you want to add spice to the image, you can make an even pointed tail, add wings and a trident.
For makeup, black and red tones are used. The base can be chosen red, and supplemented with black. The emphasis is on the eyes: light blue lenses will look perfect. Thematic drawings will look interesting, both on the body and on the face. It can be flames or pentagrams.
Gloves to the elbows will look good with the suit. They can be hand painted with fabric paints.
9. Werewolf costume
A werewolf is a mythical creature that can transform from a human into a wolf. There is an abundance of hair on his body, and an angry look in his eyes. To achieve this effect, you need to find the right suit.
A good and budget option would be to choose dark clothes combined with wool details. To this image, you can add a mask or make up with black paint, complementing it with wolf ears. You can stop at the option of an all-wool suit: but it is important to note that it will be quite hot in it.
10 Joker Costume
You will have to arm yourself with green red for hair in the form of a spray or crayons and be patient. For the face, you need white paint, lips need to be painted red, and eyes should be lined with a black liner. In the image of the Joker, everything is balanced and even slightly elegant: a classic suit with a bow tie or a wide trench coat. And you can’t forget about massive gold chains.
Couple Halloween Costumes
Going to Halloween together is much more fun than going alone. And paired suits will make an indelible impression on guests: get ready to receive compliments.
A great option to choose for Halloween costumes of the bride and groom, who have just risen from the dead. Or two doctors in smocks with “bloody stains”. If you’re more into the superhero theme, dress up as Batman and his girlfriend, or Joker and Harley Quinn.
Halloween costumes for kids
Escorte Fete
Halloween is a time for kids to dress up in their favorite costume and go out to celebrate with friends. You should not limit the child in the choice: it is important to listen to his opinion and together choose the right image.
Veda costumes and puppets are very popular. Dark shades do not always win: recently there has been a tendency to use bright wigs, draperies on fabrics, when creating a costume, they leave the usual textures of fabrics, replacing them with more interesting ones. The image of a cat can be made cute due to the voluminous tail and small ears. If the girl has chosen a bat costume, it is worth stocking up on black fabric and making large swinging wings out of it.
When creating a costume of an angel or a little devil, you can use additional accessories: bows, horns, headbands. As for makeup, when decorating, you should pay attention to the fact that it will not last long: children have more active facial expressions, they most often move more.
Pentru băieți
Boys like the skeleton or wizard costume as much as the Harry Potter or Iron Man costumes. For a baby, you can choose something simpler. For example, a pumpkin or ghost costume. But older boys want to see more details and accessories in their image.
You should not refuse the costume of an angel or the costume of a cartoon character or a TV series. For example, a minion, a smurf. Both positive and negative characters can look quite advantageous.
