Hi everyone!
As Halloween is almost here I felt inspired to do an article about it. First of all, in my country, Spain, we do not celebrate Halloween, but, the new generations are in love with it and every year there are more people that celebrate it.
I personally really like it, actually, I love anything related to costumes, make up, aesthetic, movies, books, or any creepy, fantasy, dark thing. So today I'll be writting about Halloween things, from creepy make up to books.
Disclaimer: Halloween nowadays is just a party about all the death matter that is so widespread and normalized that it is part of our occidental culture. So, have fun.
Costume and make up ideas:
1. Clairvoyant, shaman, enchantress.
Wear tons of accessories, feathers, stones, necklaces, bracelets, rings and little details. Paint your body and your face with strange symbols and drawings using dark colours. Add some glitter as details if you want some glam.
For the clothes wear any long dark skirt, a pattern top, many handkerchiefs and big boots. Add any weird creepy accessory you found.
2. Fortune teller, seer.
For the clothes use something similar to the last idea, tons of accessories and jewerly, a lot ot handkerchiefs, a long skirt, a shirt with puffed sleeves and long nails. The difference with the last one is that here I reccommend you to wear brighter colours mixed with dark ones.
3. Warrior, viking soldier.
Wear leather trousers, leather jacket and military boots. Add bracelets, weapons (arrow, daggers, swords, etc.), belts, mittens and you are good to go.
Paint some symbols in your face and arms, add some blood, some scars and any details you want like picking up your hair or metal accessories.
4. Plague doctor:
For this one you will only need a long black cloak, a hat or the hood from the robe, dark shoes and a plague doctor mask.
You can add details like, a pocket watch, a briefcase, steampunk accessories and any dark thing you want to add.
