Although Halloween is not really our holiday, what do some boundaries mean for evil spirits! If the world-famous Count Dracula suddenly gets it into his head to attend one of the Russian youth parties, then certainly no one will be able to stop him from doing so.

Since vampires, these dead people who rise from the grave with enviable regularity, have to maintain their strength with the help of human blood, they should cause only horror in people, and nothing more. But vampires need to look attractive, and therefore charm is their first weapon (protruding fangs are secondary; vampires use them only after they have carefully lulled the attention of their next victim). Therefore, you need to try to make the vampire costume exactly so that the guy dressed in it seems both cute and terrible at the same time. How can you achieve this effect? In this material we will share our ideas with you, and if you like some of them, then use them for your health.

Cape with hood: design options

How to sew a cape with a hood with your own hands? The first thing you need to do is decide on the length of the cape. Take a measurement along the center of your back from the seventh cervical vertebra (at the crease of your neck) to your ankle (or higher, if desired). Then select the height of the hood.

On average, for an adult this length is 50 cm, for children - from 30 cm. Now we will calculate how much fabric you will need.

For a children's cape, whose sum of lengths (cape + hood) does not exceed the width of the fabric, a fabric length equal to the child's shoulder circumference plus 15-25 cm, depending on the desired pomp of the cape, will be sufficient.

For an adult cape, whose sum of lengths is most often greater than the width of the fabric, you need to prepare a piece with a length equal to the sum of the lengths of the cape and hood plus 5 cm for allowances.

As for the choice of fabric, silky and shiny taffeta looks most impressive. In addition, a slight dent during the holiday will not spoil it, unlike inexpensive satin. For costumes of princesses, fairies or elves, you can use airy chiffon.

The finishing on a cape with a hood is what will make it part of a particular costume. We suggest decorating the edge of the cape with a shimmering brocade ribbon of a suitable color.

The ties for the cape are made from the same ribbon. Lace or velvet ribbon will also look beautiful. You will need a length of ribbon equal to twice the length of the cape and hood plus 1 m for the ties.

Our hooded cape is sewn without a lining, so to disguise the seam allowance we sewed it using a double French seam.

So, let's sew a cape with a hood with your own hands!

Progress

Fold the cape panel in half with the wrong sides facing in along its entire length. Baste or pin and then stitch, leaving a foot width along the top edge. Press the seam and trim the seam allowance to 3mm.

Turn the cape inside out. Pin the fabric around the seam allowances, enclosing them inside.

Baste or pin and stitch to the width of your foot. Press the seam allowance to the side. Turn the cape right side out.

Fold the edges and bottom of the cape 0.5 cm and iron. Fold again 1 cm, iron and baste. Sew, departing from the edge about 7 mm.

Sew finishing tape to the edges of the cape and hood. Wrap the edges of the ribbon onto the wrong side of the cape and grab it when stitching.

Set aside the length of the hood from the top seam on both sides and draw a line for the hood. Loosen the upper thread tension and set the stitch length to the maximum stitch length. Sew along the marked line, without securing the stitching at the beginning and end. Pull the fabric to the desired length so that the cape fits well around the neck.

Sew the rest of the tape onto the pulled fabric: first from one edge of the tape, then from the other.

Tie knots in the strings.

The cape with a hood is ready!

We are preparing a suit, or the mission is possible

It is difficult to imagine the image of Dracula without a traditional cloak. It can be long or short. You decide.

Typically, such a robe falls from the shoulder to the ankles, so 1-2 meters of fabric are needed to sew it. You will need satin, silk, taffeta or velvet (i.e. any lightweight fabric, preferably with a glossy surface). The color of the cloak must be chosen as “vampire”: black, blue or red. To make this outfit more sophisticated, you can make its hem rounded.

A wide hood will add completeness to such a vampire cloak. It’s easy to make: a triangle of the desired size is cut out of the fabric, then its short edge is folded inward and sewn on to give it its shape. Then the hood is basted to the cloak - and voila!, the vampire robe is ready.

Ideally, a vampire cloak or cape should have a red lining. It is better to immediately sew the red satin lining to the black fabric, and then cut the cloak.

If we are talking about a costume for children, then feel free to start decorating the garment: decorate it with images of spiders, bats or the moon. They can be cut from any bright fabric, thick paper and even foil. An alternative is to use gold or silver paint in a can and a simple stencil.

Another important point is the choice of suitable clothing for the raincoat. To make this task easier for you, we offer a small list of popular options:

If you have the opportunity to get clothes similar to ancient costumes from the 18th and 19th centuries, be sure to take advantage of it. After all, with their help you can recreate the classic image of children of the night. You can use the masquerade costume rental service.

Below we have posted a video of the process of making a cape for a vampire costume with ruffles.

In the men's version, instead of a hood, you need to bend the fabric two or three times to get a high collar. For rigidity, you can line the inside with cardboard or stitch it with diamonds.

How to sew a red and black cape with a hood with your own hands?

The sewing principle may be the same, but differ in color or finishing.

As for the fabric, I opted for satin, it’s inexpensive, looks bright and elegant, especially in photographs (the only drawback is that it wrinkles). Taffeta looks the most impressive, but it is also more expensive.

To sew a double-sided raincoat you needed:

Red satin - 4 meters (4*1.5)
Black satin - 4 meters (4*1.5)
Nonwoven
Satin ribbon for ties

The pattern of the raincoat can be adjusted depending on the desired length. The width of fabric in stores is usually 1.4 m and 1.5 m (I have two pieces of fabric 1.5 m wide and 4 m long). I sewed a reversible raincoat, designed for tall people. I cut it according to my own pattern, based on the size of the fabric:

We cut each section in half and sew it together (the dotted line means “Sew” in the drawing), we get two parts three meters wide. Cut it out as shown in the drawing. Using an iron, we glue the necks of the parts with non-woven material to prevent the collar from stretching.

We sew everything together along the edge (front side to front side) except the neckline. Turn it inside out and sew a finishing stitch along the edge to secure it. The double-sided cape is ready, let's move on to the hood.

It is relatively large; in films, all sorts of sorcerers and magicians usually wear such hoods.

I think that the most interesting thing about a raincoat is the hood (I haven’t found such a sewing method on the Internet yet). The method is convenient in that the hood can be sewn without a pattern, relying only on scraps after sewing the cape.

From the “triangle scraps” that remained after cutting out the details of the cape we will sew the hood.

First we sew red with red and black with black (line 1 in the photo below). Then connect the red and black parts along line 2. We slightly round (cut) along line 3.

We gather the hood along line 3 to a size equal to the neck of the cape. Line 3 is the line along which the hood is sewn to the cape. Thanks to this design, the hood is ideally shaped, i.e. voluminous at the back and sides.

Sew on the satin ribbon ties and the reversible raincoat is ready!

DIY Count Dracula costume

How to sew a raincoat

How to sew Dracula's cloak

First, find a white shirt, black trousers, tie and vest in your wardrobe. Almost every man has such a set. After this, proceed to creating the most important element of the Dark Hero - the cloak. For this you will need red and black crepe satin, ribbon, and interlining.

Once you have sewn both parts of the cape together, the back should look slightly lower than the front as the red background gives this outfit a robe effect.

So, take 2 multi-colored pieces of fabric, fold them together and make a pattern in the shape of a half-sun. Make the ties 15 centimeters each and sew them between the black and red fabric. Remember that the red fabric should be on the inside and the black on the outside. Sew the braid to the hem of the cloak, thereby covering any possible unevenness in the cut.

How to sew a vampire cloak with your own hands

Material for work:

Black fabric (1.80 m according to the pattern, but estimate according to the size of the person for whom the suit is being sewn);
Red fabric such as satin or twill (1.80 m);
Scissors;
Threads with a needle;
Cardboard or non-woven fabric;
Centimeter.

1. From fabric of both colors we cut out half-suns of the same size.

2. Sew facing each other, leaving a cutout for the neck. Turn it inside out and iron it.

3. The remaining scraps will be used for the hood. We cut out two pieces of black and two pieces of red.

4. We sew together the parts of each color along the line B1-C3-C2. Two hoods came out. Now you need to sew these hoods with the seams facing out along the line A2-C2 and turn them inside out to make one. The red hood should be inside.

Instead of a hood, you can sew a stand-up collar to the cloak.

5. We make one piece of different colors and sew it together. We turn them inside out.

Inside, for rigidity, you should place cardboard or non-woven fabric and iron it thoroughly.

6. Then sew the hood or collar to the cloak, make the ties and the cloak is ready!

Another mandatory detail of a vampire’s image is fangs. What can they be made from? For example, from a disposable fork. Break off the teeth, leaving only the outer two, and attach them using special denture adhesive or dental wax.

Or using false nails. I filed my nails, giving them the shape of a fang and gluing them with denture glue.

Much attention is paid to makeup in this image. Without it, the image will be incomplete. Although this addition is more suitable for adults.

Defiantly catchy makeup is applied to a lifeless pale face. You can simulate bruises, oozing wounds, bite marks, bruises from strangulation, and bloody streams on the lips.

You can whiten your face with powder, foundation or face painting, even baby powder.
Line your eyebrows and eyes with a cosmetic black pencil and circle them with shadows of very dark colors.
Apply bright red or bright scarlet lipstick to your lips.

Rigid collar and jabot

If you choose the Victorian version of the vampire costume, you can create a nice collar for the shirt. It is most convenient to make the frill removable in this case. To do this, just sew together several rows of ruffles from a material reminiscent of the one from which the shirt is made, and add lace to match if desired. The frill is sewn onto an elastic band and worn around the neck like a bow tie. Count Dracula would definitely appreciate such an element of the outfit. It's hard to imagine a vampire king costume without a long cloak. What about a stiff collar? Sewing this element is not difficult at all. Draw a template on paper - it can be a regular trapezoid or a part with a shaped outer edge. Cut out two identical elements from fabric. If the coat has a lining of a contrasting shade, let the collar be reversible. A layer of non-woven fabric will help give rigidity to the element. Also cut out two parts from this material and glue each of them with one of the fabric elements. After that all that remains is to sew the collar and it will keep its shape. We sew the finished element to the mantle - and now you have a cloak that Dracula himself would envy. The costume for the theme party is almost ready, all that remains is to select additional items of clothing and accessories.

A mandatory attribute of a witch's outfit is a cap.

Material for work:

Felt or any other material that holds its shape (cardboard as an option);
Scissors; thread with a needle (for cardboard - PVA glue);
A sheet of whatman paper or newspaper for a pattern;
Compass;
A simple pencil.

1. Add 1.5 cm to the head circumference for the seams and, using a compass, mark this value on the pattern.

2. Now we draw a second circle with a compass - these will be the fields of the cap. We add 20-30 cm to the first number (the size of the cap’s brim), cut out according to these templates and make patterns on the fabric.

3. We sew the resulting cone on the sides. Turn it inside out and sew it to the brim.

You can accessorize your witch's Halloween costume with pointy shoes.

These shoes can be made by taking any old shoes and gluing them using the papier-mâché technique.

How to create a Zombie Halloween costume for a 12-year-old boy – step-by-step master class, photo

Many people imagine the Zombie as a cold, slow creature with a deathly pale complexion, rising from the grave under the influence of powerful witchcraft. Such a creepy character is a favorite image of boys aged 8 - 12, who happily dress up in a Zombie costume, anticipating the reaction of their friends and classmates. Therefore, do not be surprised if at your school Halloween party you are attacked by numerous “living corpses” in makeup, as well as torn and dirty clothes. How to create a Zombie Halloween costume for a 12 year old boy? A step-by-step master class with photos is extremely simple and exciting - let's get started!

To make a Ghost costume, a 12-year-old boy will need the following materials for Halloween:

old worn clothes
“not the first freshness” shoes
body paint - brown, red, green, yellow, black and white
regular paint - red, brown and green
tree leaves, earth
scissors or a utility knife with a retractable blade

Description of a master class on creating a Zombie carnival costume for a 12-year-old boy for Halloween:

For a costume, it is better to choose clothes a couple of sizes larger so that they literally “hang like a bag”, because “real” Zombies are emaciated and dried out. A themed outfit - a nurse, a teacher, a worker - will look especially impressive.
The selected clothes need to be washed in the washing machine several times, and then torn, holes made and frayed in different places. In order to make the image more realistic, you can completely tear off one sleeve.
We generously rub the clothes with mud and stick leaves in places - an excellent imitation of cemetery attributes.
We dilute the paints in water and apply them in spots and stains on the costume.
Using an iron scraper, we make “scuffs” on the shoes - one shoe can be slightly torn along the seam. Then we mix the soil with water and cover the shoes with mud.
In a bowl, mix yellow, brown and white body paint - you get a pale swamp shade. Apply the mixture to the face and other exposed skin. Separately, we combine green with white or yellow with white, and make smudges on visible areas of the body.
On the boy’s head we make a backcomb or “icicles” of hair, securing the creation with varnish. The zombie invasion begins!

Making a Death Suit

In various films, books or comics, Death most often appears in one incarnation - a dark figure wrapped in a cloak. At the same time, a dark robe hides the figure. An indispensable attribute is a scythe or sickle. The hood of the mystical image completely hides the face.

According to legends: at the most unexpected moment, a gloomy character can throw off his hood - instead of a face, he has a bare skull with fiery eye sockets.

Let's move on to the actual production of the costume. You can, of course, buy it in a store, but the vestments of a mystical creature made with your own hands will have no analogues.

What's most important? A cloak with a deep hood and a braid behind the back.

Making a mantle:

Prepare black fabric. If you have any difficulties, you can take dark blue or dark gray.
The black material should be larger than your height and extend down to the floor.
The simplest option is simply black or dark blue rectangular fabric, stitched along the edges.
The picture shows a pattern of a complex robe for a do-it-yourself death costume.

Transfer the pattern to the fabric, cut and sew the edges.
The next step is to combine the necessary parts with each other, baste and sew on a machine or by hand.
To make the mantle look more impressive, add wedges at the bottom.
The clasp can be attached to the top - it can be a button, snaps, brooch or pin.

You can tie your Halloween costume with a belt. Don't forget to sew on special straps, otherwise you may be left without a belt.

In the women's version, you can wear a black dress under the robe or not use a cloak at all. For men's attire - black trousers and a T-shirt.

Collecting images

As for the clothes themselves, there will be no problems here. A man will need a white shirt, classic black trousers and a frill, which is characteristic of a real vampire of count blood.

Girls can wear any black dress, long or short, lace or leather. But you can also stand out by buying a fitted lace dress with a floor-length skirt, which will highlight your elegance and help you become the main seductress of the evening.

We complement the image with accessories

If you are preparing a costume for Halloween and want to appear in the image of Death, do not forget about the indispensable attribute of this character - the scythe.

Where can I get it? Do it yourself!

Take a piece of cardboard (be sure to choose a durable one at the store) and cut a blade out of it.
For a foundation in your yard or summer cottage, find a foundation.
The blade can be made in a classic shape and covered with foil for greater realism.
Their base is made of a stick or staff - paint it brown.
For real men, you can use a real braid (not the sharpened version). But remember, the instrument will weigh a lot; will it be convenient for you to carry an unnecessary load with you all evening?

Another advantage of cardboard is that the crescent blade can be decorated in any way. Add additional tenons, bevels and unusual finishes - just use your imagination and create!

Don't forget about accessories

To make the image as believable as possible, you need to complement it with all the necessary accessories, such as vampire teeth, a wig, medallions, earrings, bracelets and necklaces with bats.

By the way, you can also make your own teeth from an ordinary plastic fork. To do this, you need to carefully cut off the stem of the fork and break off the two middle tines, as shown in the picture:

If you have a question about where to buy such accessories, take a look at our catalog. Here you will find real vampire teeth, various pendants with images of bats, wigs, and much more.

As you can see, making a vampire costume with your own hands is not very difficult, but quite painstaking. You will need a lot of patience! If you don’t want to waste your time on tailoring, the online suit store Incostume.ru can offer a huge number of options for this look.

If you don’t have time to make it yourself, then buy vampire costumes in our online store!

We complete the image of the wizard - apply makeup

For the Death look, you will need mascara that will last a long time. Dark shadows - to add shading around the eyes. And light foundation and powder - to create the most pale look.

Using bright shadows you can draw additional elements - flowers and leaves. This technique will look impressive.

The basis of the image is to paint the face like a skeleton skull.

Some girls prefer to apply makeup for the Death costume only on the lower part of the face.

What does the main vampire look like?

You can find out who the Count from Transylvania is and what he looks like by reading the book of the same name or carefully watching one of the popular films. In fact, Dracula has several guises. The traditional option is a white or red shirt with a frill, dark trousers and shoes, a long black coat with a scarlet lining. However, you can often see the main vampire in a classic tuxedo. A constant detail of the image is a smooth, combed-back hairstyle or long hair, pale skin, red eyes and huge fangs. Does all this seem too complicated to you? In fact, it is not at all difficult to make a Dracula costume with your own hands.

How to make a Halloween costume with your own hands?

Finding a carnival costume is not a problem today. There are special stores that sew and sell such outfits. In their assortment you can choose whatever your heart desires, however, this pleasure costs a lot. Why spend that kind of money for one outing (next year you’ll still have to pick up something new)?

It is quite possible to make or sew a costume for this holiday with your own hands, at home, using available tools and materials.

From the very beginning, you need to decide on the image (who and how you see yourself). You can choose some common and fashionable look, or maybe? come up with something exclusive and original.

There are several main thematic groups of images for Halloween:

monsters, representatives of otherworldly forces and monsters (this includes the most terrible costumes - the embodiment of death, an evil witch, the dead bride of Frankenstein or himself, the vampire Count Dracula and his companion - the demonic vampire lady, mummy, zombies, skeletons, ghosts and other creepy evil spirits);
images of positive and negative superheroes, heroes of TV series, popular feature films, comics and cartoons (we are talking about the costumes of Batman, Superhero, Spider-Man, Catwoman, as well as their antagonists? Harley Quinn, Joker, Poison Ivy and many others. Here This also includes the Billy doll costume from the movie “Saw”);
the images may not be so scary or intimidating, for example, you can choose a completely opposite role for yourself and become an angel, a good fairy, a princess from Disney fairy tales, a Barbie doll, etc. Also, for girls, Halloween costumes can be very sexy (even a witch or vampire can be young and seductive. The images of legendary divas - Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn are very popular, and for men the roles of Elvis Presley or Charlie Chaplin are perfect);
Will you also need to make costumes for the children? they also want to have fun. The main rule when making children's outfits is the absence of overly frightening horror and other monstrous things. Choose for your child an interesting image of a little wizard, a pirate, a kind and cheerful ghost, a bat, a fairy, etc. You can dress up as any animal, bird or insect: a tiger cub, a bear cub, a crocodile, a dragon, a bee, a spider. Halloween costumes for children in the form of the main symbol of the holiday - a pumpkin - are also popular.

Vampire Costume Accessories

A vampire should appear at a party in black classic shoes, without any newfangled frills, white gloves and a top hat.

Cylinder

He can hold a cane in his hand, but this attribute is not at all necessary, since it will be inconvenient for you to constantly walk with it, so you will still have to attach it somewhere.
Every young person who knows how to use scissors, glue and a compass can make a cylinder. You will need ordinary cardboard , from which you will need to cut out the following parts according to the volume of your head: in the form of a rectangle (this will be the crown of the hat), and in the form of 2 circles: the one that is smaller in diameter should be used as the upper bottom of the hat. A disc-shaped part is made from a larger circle - it will act as a hat brim.
When cutting out parts, do not forget about the allowances on which you should make cuts with scissors for better gluing. Wait until the glue dries thoroughly, and then paint the hat with black paint. When the paint no longer sticks to your fingers, decorate the crown of the hat with a red satin ribbon.

Children's Superhero Cape

Choose your fabric. Since you won't be sewing this cape, it's best to choose a fabric that won't fray, such as felt or flannel. In total you will need about 90 cm of fabric.

This method can also be used to make a cape for an adult, but then you will need more fabric.

Fold the fabric in half lengthwise. Position the resulting rectangle so that one of its narrow sides faces you.

Draw the side edges of the cape. Use a tailor's chalk or marker to make a mark along the bottom edge of the fabric, 28cm from the fold. The depth of the mark can be adjusted at your discretion. The closer it is to the bottom edge of the fabric, the longer the cape will be. Place a second mark at the top edge of the fabric, 14cm from the fold. Connect the two marks along the ruler.

If you need a wider cape and have enough fabric, the bottom mark can be placed further from the fold.

To more accurately calculate the length of the cape, add 14 cm to the desired length. This way you will take into account the space that will be spent on the neck.

Use a plate or bowl to draw the outline of the neckline. Find a plate or bowl with a diameter of 20 cm. Attach it to the upper corner with a fold so that from the side of the fold the plate protrudes sideways beyond the fabric by 10 cm, and from the side of the upper edge creeps onto the fabric by 14 cm. Transfer the contours of the plate onto the fabric using tailor's chalk or marker.

Cut out the fabric along the drawn lines. Try to cut the fabric along the inside of the lines so that there are no traces of chalk or marker left on the finished cape.
You can leave the cape cut as is, or try modifying it according to one of the ideas below to increase your character choice.
To give the cape a neater look, round the top and bottom corners.
Make the bottom edge of the cape jagged. This is a great idea when a child wants to be Batman.
Make notches and slits along the bottom edge of the cape to give it a battle-worn look.

Add Velcro fastener. Buy ready-made square Velcro fasteners or cut them yourself from Velcro tape. Using hot glue or textile glue, glue the fastener halves to the corresponding “tendrils” on the top edge of the cape. One half of the fastener should be glued to the front side of one tendril of the cape, and the second - to the wrong side of the other.

Be aware that self-adhesive Velcro fasteners are also available for sale.

Consider adding a superhero emblem applique to your cape. Glue the thermal film onto a piece of fabric in a contrasting color. Draw a superhero emblem on it and then cut it out. Pin the emblem to the back of the cape. Iron it and then remove the pins.

All thermal films are slightly different from each other, so carefully follow the instructions for using your specific thermal film.

Alternatively, cut the emblem out of felt and adhere it to the back of the cape using hot glue or fabric glue.

Making the image scary

To make a vampire look like a bloodsucker, it is necessary to attach artificial fangs. Buying special overlays for teeth is not a problem today, but you can make artificial fangs yourself. To do this, cut an arc from the cylindrical part of a plastic bottle. We process the edges well so that they are not sharp and cannot damage the gums. The fangs themselves can be cut out of white plastic (it’s convenient to use artificial nails, but you can take a white plastic bottle from household chemicals). We attach the cut out “clicks” to the cut out arc with tape or any other convenient method. We insert the plate into the mouth.

All that remains is to stain your lips with artificial blood, you can replace it with bright red liquid lipstick.

Our costume is ready, but to make the image even more impressive, it’s worth doing the appropriate makeup.

Halloween is one of the most spectacular and unusual holidays, where almost the only time a year you can dress up as a bloodthirsty vampire without fear of sidelong glances.

Selecting accessories

To complete the vampire look, take care of other details of the outfit. Their number and options are limited only by your imagination. They will help you either copy the image of vampires from famous films and TV series, or create your own interpretation of it.

We offer several of the most common accessory options:

Fangs. They can be purchased in special stores or made yourself. To make vampire fangs at home, you will need a clean white plastic bottle. From it you will cut out a plate in the shape of teeth with fangs. You can apply the required texture and color of blood to them using nail polish. See the video above for details on the process of making fangs yourself.
Wig. Usually the image of a vampire is associated with long hair. Their color can be white, black or bright red. To create an original look, you can buy a wig. Today, various carnival costume stores offer a wide selection of such products.
Hairstyle. Do you have short hair but don't want to wear a wig? Then you can style your hair using a gel with strong hold. You can tousle your hair chaotically in the style of vampires from the movie “Twilight” or make a small mohawk by collecting strands in the center.
Decorations. The Gothic look of a vampire is unimaginable without all kinds of rings, crosses, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, medallions, brooches and belts. For women, fancy necklaces with bright stones and ornaments or wide black ribbons tied in small bows around the neck and arms are perfect.
Hats. Sometimes the image of the prince of the night can be complemented by this accessory. For men, strict black top hats a la Bram Stoker's Dracula are suitable, and for women - small hats with lace. Also, a headdress for vampires can be made in the form of an old veil, decorating it with imitation cobwebs, drops of homemade blood or a wreath of artificial flowers in an old style.
Cane. Continuing the theme of classic images of vampires, we cannot help but recall the ancient wands that we so often see in the hands of Hollywood villains. You can make a cane yourself or buy it in an online store.
Chains. They can decorate both women's and men's suits. The main thing is not to overdo it with their quantity. The ideal option is to hang a small chain with small links on the waistband of your pants or on your vest. Women can decorate a corset or dress with such an accessory.
Glasses. The best option is sunglasses with small round black lenses. They will go perfectly with a top hat and a black long wig.
Lenses. We also recommend purchasing vampire lenses for eyes with a red or vertical pupil. Today their choice is simply huge, so there should not be any special problems with their purchase.

By the way, if you don’t have the time or opportunity to make a costume yourself, you can buy or rent a ready-made version in special stores.

What your vampire look will be - ancient noble, modern elegant or simple realistic - is up to you. Depending on the type of this character, you will need to choose makeup and accessories to give the image integrity and completeness.

Have you forgotten? By following the link you can read the history of the holiday and find out how it is celebrated in different countries. And if you have not yet decided which role to choose, then how to create the image of a delightfully bright, elegant or fairy-tale witch.

Don't be afraid to experiment, pay attention to detail and rich colors and your Halloween costume will be one of a kind!

Rarely is a Halloween party complete without the presence of one or more vampires. This image is equally suitable for men, women, adults and children. The elegance and mask of mystery made this character the most popular on All Hallows' Eve.

It’s not difficult to create with your own hands: you need to choose the appropriate clothes, accessories, and apply terrifying makeup.

Spectacular makeup is an indispensable attribute of the vampire image

Another distinctive feature of this character is bright, catchy makeup on deathly pale skin. To achieve this effect, follow our tips.

The first step is to prepare your facial skin by applying a light layer of cream or base makeup.
The vampire's face should not be shiny, so you will need matte powder or baby powder. It must be applied on top of the cream.
Ready? Then we can directly do vampire-style makeup. First of all, let's outline the eyes. For this you need a black cosmetic pencil or eyeliner. The main strokes should be applied to the inside of the eye, as well as lines on the upper and lower eyelids.
Next we give the eyes a smoky effect. This can be done by applying gray, purple and brown eyeshadow.
If you want a completely pale face, don't use blush.
We pay special attention to the lips. Their shape and color should be expressive, but it is not necessary to paint them perfectly evenly. A slight carelessness in creating lip makeup for a vampire is even welcome. Classic lipstick colors are red, brown and black.
Then we will start creating the effect of dried blood streams on the face. To prepare artificial blood, you need to mix any syrup and dye (red and a little blue for extra realism).

By following the link you can see how to do it, filmed by professional makeup artists and amateur makeup artists. They will help you create an elegant and exciting look. This training will take you 5-10 minutes, after which you can try to apply this makeup yourself.

Women can also get a matching manicure in red or black. If you have short nails, you can use artificial false tips.
