DIY Halloween Costumes With Coloured Contact Lenses
Whether you love getting creative or are looking to save money, this Halloween why not create a DIY fancy dress costume? This can be a super fun project to get all the family involved in, adding an extra activity to your celebrations of this spooky holiday.
DIY Cat Costume
With a little bit of makeup and some DIY accessories, you and your litter could all turn into adorable cats. Whether you are creating a costume just for yourself or want to get your partner and kids involved, this is one of the easiest last minute Halloween costumes you could create.
Find an old eyeliner, lipstick or eyeshadow and draw whiskers on your cheeks and a little kitty nose onto the end of your own. If you are feeling fancy you can go all out with your eye makeup by adding a dramatic cat wing eyeliner and bold white, black or brown eyeshadow. For the kids, why not use some face paint to draw dashes around the face in the style of fur?
Add a pair of homemade cat ears by re-using an old headband and stuff a leg from an old pair of tights with newspaper, tissue or material to create a cat tail.
For the adults only, why not purchase some cheap FDA Approved Cat’s Eye Coloured Contact Lenses to add to your costume? (Sold at ColouredContacts.com)
DIY Vampire Costume
The range of vampire costumes that you can create at home starts from cute to totally terrifying. Depending on the type of event you are attending and who is involved in your costume, you can adapt a vampire costume to suit everyone.
If you are creating an adult vampire costume then go crazy with fake blood and find a dramatic black dress or suit in your closet. Pair with a homemade cape and slick back your hair. Complete your outfit with a pair of Red Vampire Coloured Contact Lenses for a movie-ready vampire costume.
If you are going to a family event or want a whole clan of little vampires then use red lipstick or face paint to draw droplets of blood at the corner of the mouth. This gives a hint of Halloween to the costume without giving anybody nightmares.
Zombie Costumes
Is there anything funnier than transforming your family into a zombie horde? Plus this is a super simple costume. Grab your oldest clothes from your wardrobe and add some extra dirt and rips. Be careful about where you are placing the rips if you are going to a family event and make sure to use makeup rather than actual dirt!
Next, apply a dark eye shadow under your eyes to create a zombie effect and mess up your hair. Add more makeup smudges to your face to look like dirt.
If you are going for a full SFX terrifying zombie for your own adult costume or couples costume then you can always add some elements of gore with makeup effects such as fake blood. You can also complete your look with freaky Zombie Coloured Contact Lenses. Whether you want to completely blank out your eye or add a Halloween colour to it, there are plenty of options of Halloween Coloured Contact Lenses.
Pumpkin Makeup
Carving out your pumpkin for Halloween is such a fun tradition for all the family so why not take the extra step and also paint your face like a pumpkin? You are going to need plenty of orange face paint for your pumpkin transformation and if you want to test out your makeup skills why not add painted green vines and leaves to your forehead or make some out of fake plants? Orange clothing or your cutest Halloween outfit will pair perfectly with your adorable pumpkin face.
For those over 18, you can add a pair of Orange Colored Contact Lenses to your makeup to complete your makeup look.
Ghost Costumes
Whether you are opting for the traditional sheet ghost or have a white dress to pair with your ghost makeup, this costume is a quick and easy classic. Powder your face to lighten your skin and add dark circles under your eyes using eye shadow or face paint. Tousled or backcombed hair can be a great finishing touch to a ghost costume as can a pair of White Colored Contact Lenses for a blanked-out expression.
There are so many creative ideas for making your DIY Halloween costume that will save your budget and add another fun activity to the spooky holiday season!
