Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas
Looking for a creative costume idea, but running out of time? Here are 7 easy DIY costume ideas that will have you ready for Halloween in no time.
Cactus
If you’re in a pinch, dressing up as a cactus for all of your Halloween festivities is the way to go. All you need is a green sweater, white pipe cleaners for thorns, and a flower for your hair.
Ziggy Stardust/David Bowie
If you’re looking to do an easy makeup look this season, try going for a Ziggy Stardust costume. You’ll need red and blue face paint to quickly paint on the iconic lightning bolt. Then, pair the look with a bright statement jacket to accent the makeup just as Ziggy would.
Rosie the Riveter
Dressing as Rosie the Riveter is a classic women’s costume. All you need is a denim shirt, red bandanna, and a red lip to tie it all together.
Violet Beauregarde
Another quick makeup-based costume is miss Violet Beauregarde from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Just use a dark blue eyeshadow and a makeup brush to blur out the color on the nose. Match the look with a blue sweatshirt or top, a blonde wig and some chewing gum.
Arthur
This costume is a blast from the past. All you need is a yellow sweater, round glasses, and mouse ears to fully transform you into an adorable Arthur.
Pineapple
If you’re looking for an effortless and snazzy costume, try dressing as a pineapple! You’ll need an all-yellow ensemble, white shoes, and a green top hat to mirror the stem of the fruit. Top the look off with some stylish shades for extra flare.
