1. Ears on a hoop A pattern in the form of cat ears is cut out of cardboard. It is applied to white material in two copies.

Hairstyle in the form of cat ears Those with long hair can easily turn their chic hairstyle into cat ears. To do this, tie two ponytails with a transparent elastic band.

Bright and unexpected Well, now we offer you the ten most popular images. Which ones? Read below!
History and costume of Catwoman
The Catwoman costume is an excellent choice for Halloween and various costume parties. This stylish and seductive image has not lost its relevance for many years, let's find out how it all began...
The story is almost unprecedented - for fifty years the catsuit, also known as the Catwoman suit, has been trying to move from the blue screens to the wardrobes of ordinary women, but it receives a decisive no. One can only sympathize with miniskirts, short shorts and translucent dresses, leggings and crop tops - all these sexy outfits have long been approved by society, unlike the cat costume, which to this day has a reputation as a fetish costume for carnivals and costume parties.
Catwoman and her iconic costume weren't always together. In the very first issue of Batman comics, in January 1940, she debuts in an emerald dress and happily flaunts her insufferable personality. Later, only a hint of a bad character will remain, because a catwoman is always a mountain of problems, but problems that Batman simply needs.
Catwoman begins to turn into the heroine we know only ten years later - she is more and more often noticed in aiding Batman. At the same time, her costume and habits change. For several more years, Catwoman was tossed from one extreme to another, from love to hate, until she completely disappeared from the pages of comics.
The reason for this was not the falling ratings, but various thinking citizens who wrote complaints against the publishing house, arguing that comics should not have an entertainment function, but an educational one, therefore all good villains and controversial characters should be immediately excluded.
Catwoman's resounding return took place in 1966, only not in comic books, but on television screens. Graceful Julie Newmar, with cute pom-pom ears peeking out from under her bouffant, strutted across the stage in a glamorous stretch cat costume. In the same year, the full-length “Batman” was released, where the catwoman was played by Lee Meriwether, dressed in a catsuit, a gold belt and a lovely mask.
After the success of the Batman film, Catwoman's return to comics was not long in coming. In 1967, after a long break, the graceful beauty again graced the covers of comic books with her images. However, instead of the expected catsuit, she appeared before the public in a cat-in-boots costume - a red mask and red shoes were complemented by a seductive bodysuit, high gloves and a whip.
10 years later, Catwoman returned to comics again in a new purple dress, and then generally became a representative of the oldest profession, with an emphasis on BDSM, and again not in the traditional Catwoman costume. After some more time, other films with women in cat suits began to appear on screens.
The catsuit lived its own busy Hollywood life. He constantly found himself in films where a sexy heroine suddenly decided to commit a crime or, conversely, turned out to be a secret agent. The catsuit's resume includes many box-office films of the last thirty years: Star Trek, The Matrix, Lara Croft, X-Men, Iron Man, Fantastic Four, Doctor Who, Charlie's Angels...
Sexuality and a good image were enough for the catsuit to be borrowed for performances by pop divas - Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Pink, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga, whose interests were immediately responded to by fashion brands that added luxurious outfits to their collections in the style of a catwoman.
This has brought skintight jumpsuits onto the red carpet, hugging celebrities from Beyoncé to Christina Stewart. Therefore, in the future, the cat woman costume has prospects of getting into the wardrobes of fashionistas around the world.

10 best ideas with tips for implementation
A dead bride
Yes, perhaps this is the most popular image among girls of all countries and ages. For many years now, Tim Burton's costume of the dead bride has taken first place among other “evil spirits.” Soft, gentle, sweet, slightly aloof...
And at the same time insidious, creepy and impressive. And how many options there are to create your own “zest”! Of course, a “dirty,” torn wedding dress, a bouquet of blackened withered roses, bottomless eyes on a bluish-gray background of the face and makeup with visible bones on the hands are classics of the genre.
Choosing a dress
If you still feel that this image is infinitely yours, and you are determined to create a Halloween costume with your own hands, while you are clearly not going to buy a wedding dress, then you can easily get by with any other dress. Preferably old and plain (white, gray, blue, soft pink, menthol, etc.).
Image details
Don’t be lazy to decorate it accordingly: sew ruffles from scraps of lace or guipure, crystals, or simply attach beautiful brooches, cut or partially tear the hem of the dress, sleeves. Make sure you have the same torn veil to match the color of the dress (guipure, taffeta, mesh, and even...tulle will do) and don’t forget about hair decorations (tiara, wreath of artificial flowers, etc.).
"Creepy" surroundings
Design the background of the dress the way you like best: it can be “bloody” handprints, it can be “earthy” stains all over the dress, twigs and dried leaves woven into the lace and torn holes of the dress. An unusual Halloween costume is almost ready.
Bouquet
You can make your own bridal bouquet from artificial plastic flowers or even paper ones. It all depends on what material and budget you have.
Makeup and makeup of the dead bride
Make your complexion tone either deathly pale or earthy gray (blue color on the face is also not prohibited). Add more dark background on the cheekbones and eyelids. You can decorate your lips with blue lipstick or draw a “grin” of a skull.
Do not forget to cover exposed parts of the body with makeup: neck, arms, chest. Professionals advise fixing makeup and make-up with regular hairspray. This way you will protect your friends with whom you want to hug from multi-colored stains on their clothes... Although, it all depends on how hard you hug them
Nurse
The devil's nurse costume doesn't give up either. Sexy, charming, alluring and attractive. An image for a brave and outspoken girl. Even if you are an avid prude, take the chance to impress your friends with such a seductive outfit. We are sure that all the compliments this evening will come to you. Classic stockings, a robe and a cap with medical symbols.
Main details of the image
Putting together such a Halloween costume couldn't be easier. Get white stockings (any white stockings will do), look for a white tunic or mini-robe among your clothes (by the way, your boyfriend’s shirt will do, as long as it covers your butt of Halloween adventures) and a light headdress such as a headscarf or bandana.
Decor
Buy 3-4 meters of red satin ribbon. With this ribbon you can decorate a bandana with a medical cross, make stripes on a tunic/shirt, stockings, or use it as a belt and garter. You can leave the robe pure white or “splatter it with blood.” If you use gouache as stylized blood, then be extremely careful: gouache does not wash off well.
Makeup
Makeup again depends on the nurse's style: a clean uniform requires neat makeup, artificial eyelashes, bright red lips and nails. If your nurse is “a little” crazy, decorate the face with “droplets of blood”, you can even draw them in the corners of the lips, a little smeared mascara and “bloody” makeup on the hands. You can hunt at the pharmacy for a Janet-type syringe and fill it with tomato juice: horror and fear in the eyes of others will be guaranteed to you *victory*
Vampire
Yes, the West definitely influences our values. Thanks to all the famous films, the vampire style is extremely popular. Girls are happy to try on this image. This Halloween costume is original and easy to make yourself. The image is sexy, enchanting and quite cool. There are a great many options.
Image Basics
Look into your dressing room: you can use latex, leather, lace, ruffles, satin, velvet. Classic: corset, short skirt, stockings, lace gloves and satin cloak. The tones are in red and black. The makeup is quite simple - whitened complexion, bloody lips and smokey eyes. By the way, any gothic look is perfect for a vampire.
Attributes
False eyelashes, spider hair clips, long nails are, of course, welcome. Decorative fangs can be bought at any shopping center. With good imagination, the image of a vampire can become truly enchanting.
Witch
In the image of a witch you can fit not only the costume of a sorceress, but even the costume of Baba Yaga, a fortune teller, or an oracle. A rather simple and classic Halloween costume for girls. According to tradition, the charming witch appears in a black cap, a black long/short skirt and a corset.
Clothing and attributes
The preferred materials for the costume are velvet and lace. The attributes are a magic wand, a crystal ball, playing cards, skulls, frogs, spiders, and everything that your imagination tells you. However, it is not recommended to take raw legs and other perishable animal products with you. Unless you're planning to perform an exorcism ritual in public.
Makeup
Makeup should be quite bright. If you decide to “draw” an elderly witch on your face, then do not forget to draw wrinkles and bags under the eyes. But you shouldn’t draw warts. Try making them from foam balls. They are perfectly tinted (they need to be tinted in advance, before they are fixed on the face) and are attached to the skin using transparent glue for false eyelashes. Of course, you can use real makeup. By the way, completely safe makeup can be purchased at large children's art stores.
Hairstyle
Wash your hair with volumizing shampoo, dry it with a hairdryer with your head down, comb it, and spray it with hairspray. It is quite appropriate to use colored mascara. Are you a brave and eccentric girl? Then you've clearly already decided which Halloween costume to choose, right?
Contact lenses
Feel free to use colored and fancy contact lenses in your look. For girls who have not previously worn contact lenses, the online magazine Korolevnam.ru strongly recommends practicing in advance. At the same time, check yourself to see if you are comfortable in them, if you have allergies or other inconveniences.
Mandatory condition: lenses must be put on and removed only with clean (!), dry hands to avoid conjunctivitis. Special containers and solutions are used to store lenses. To eliminate discomfort when wearing lenses, there are special drops. Therefore, in order to avoid unforeseen circumstances, it is better to buy any contact lenses (even without diopters and daily use) in a trusted store, after consulting with an experienced ophthalmologist.
Catwoman and other living creatures...
And not only the cat woman, but also the rabbit woman, the deer woman, the mouse woman and other representatives of the female fauna.
Makeup
The basis of all images is approximately the same: bright, stylized makeup. The nose and mustache must be drawn, and the eyes and lips must be emphasized in a special way. Mostly black contour pencil is used. Mind-blowing arrows will add special appeal to your cat look.
Important Details
If you take the image of Halle Berry as a prototype, do not forget to wear the same hat-mask with ears. Then makeup has the right to be neutral. Manicure is especially important for this Halloween costume. You will attract attention, so take the most responsible approach to designing a catwoman’s manicure.
Cloth
Don't have a mask, but have a classic headband with cat ears? Then try on black leather trousers with a tapered cut (latex leggings from an intimate goods store will also work), a biker jacket in the same color and over the knee boots. If you don’t have such panties, or the lines of your figure are not as perfect as you would like, use a black straight skirt, tapered at the bottom, and knee-length. A tapered skirt will slightly restrict your movements, so you will move smoothly and slowly in it, swaying your hips a little. Why not a cat's walk, hmm? *kiss*
Zombie girl
We agree, the image is completely unfeminine, but cheerful. You can have a lot of fun preparing this costume with your friends. And even let off steam, throw out negative emotions. How? And it's very simple!
Cloth
The zombie costume consists of torn things: torn trousers, shirts, stockings. Of course, you can bring old rags from the dacha and wear them. But if there are things that you don’t mind ruining at all (for example, your old things associated with negative memories, or your ex-boyfriend’s forgotten things), then tear them up together with your best friends! Why keep all the negativity inside yourself: it is both useful and pleasant to “let off steam” outside. After the holiday, you can completely eliminate them in the nearest garbage can with peace of mind.
Entourage
So, the more holes your suit has, the better. Stain your suit with red paint. On the skin visible through the holes, you can depict “rotting” or “bloody” wounds. And even bones.
Makeup
The same can be said about makeup: earthy-gray complexion, blackened eye sockets. You can leave part of your face untouched, and part of it you can make up to look like a bare skull. Such images are the most effective.
Hairstyle
You can comb your hair, or you can make an extremely careless ponytail. Cover your hands with red and black paint and feel free to go shake hands with all your friends - let them wash themselves later
Alice in Wonderland
We all remember the cute fairy tale by Charles Dodgson, right? Yes, yes, Lewis Carroll is just a pseudonym for the above-mentioned writer. However, this does not change the essence. Why don't you transform for one night into a wonderful sweet girl in a blue dress, white apron and striped stockings? A wonderful bow on the head - and the image of the “chorus girl” is ready.
Too boring in your opinion? In this case, brave people can try on a more unusual option - the Alice costume - Alice from Through the Looking Glass. Moreover, on All Saints' Night you yourself come up with your own Through the Looking Glass, or... the opposite side of the kind and sweet Alice. Intrigue and surprise others with the image of the bloodthirsty Alice the killer. How to create such an outfit for Halloween? Much easier than classic Alice.
Hairstyle
Your hairstyle should be perfect: style your hair well, secure your hairstyle with a beautiful lush bow.
Makeup
Do “doll” eye makeup using false eyelashes, thick and long. In this case, the lower part of the face should reflect the “occupation” of the bloodthirsty Alice. Make the lips pale, with streaks of blood at the corners, and you can also draw “blood splatters” on the face.
Cloth
It is better to choose a dress of the same blue shade as the original, but of a shorter length. The dress may be slightly torn. Be sure to stain your white apron with “blood.” Striped stockings/socks should not be pulled too straight: different lengths are much more interesting.
Attributes
Pick up a stylized plastic knife (stained with “blood,” of course) or a wooden hammer. In general, pick up any stylized weapon of “murder and torture.” And our dear Alice is ready!
Elvira - Mistress of the Dark
This is perhaps the sexiest image. Everyone knows and loves this fatal temptress. A win-win classic option. This Halloween outfit is easy to make.
A long, tight-fitting black dress, preferably with a slit from the hip and a deep neckline, stockings with a wide openwork elastic band, high heels, a mandatory backcomb on long black hair (an ideal look for long-haired, thin brunettes!) and make-up - bright and breathtaking.
The eyes should be heavily made up, the eyelashes should be shamelessly long, and the lips should be seductively red. An ideal look for a club and a romantic date. At the same time, dear girls, remember about your personal safety in public places. If you are not ready for obsessive attention from young people, choose more modest images.
Pirate of the Wreck
The image of pirates and pirate girls is still relevant. But! The image of the dead pirate is also original. Yes, the cocked hat, stylized gun, and ruffled blouse remain. You just need to get it all dirty, wet, and tear it up.
Important Details
You can draw algae, an angry fish or shells on your blouse. You don’t have to draw, but attach such very unusual brooches. Fortunately, their choice is now great.
In any case, your outfit should remind you of the shipwreck and the number of years that this ship, in your opinion, lay on the ocean floor
Makeup and makeup
A pirate Halloween costume for girls isn't just about shabby clothes. The makeup for such a costume can be borrowed from the image of a zombie: a “half-decayed” face of a bluish-gray hue, bleached lips and painted knuckles on the hands.
Hairstyle
The hairstyle can be anything: from loose hair with a wet effect to braided, slightly disheveled braids. The main thing is, don’t forget to swear every word, you can even light a pipe (only electronically Because smoking is harmful and dangerous even for the health of a “half-dead” pirate).
Catwoman Makeup
When creating the image of a cat, you should pay special attention to makeup. Today the Internet is literally replete with its various variations, the number of which is limited only by imagination. We will offer the most popular ones.
Elegant cat
A cat's gaze should be filled with mystery, mysticism and enigma. He has a special magnetism that can bewitch and hypnotize. You can achieve such a bright effect by applying special makeup. The following tips will help you with this:
- So let's get started. The basis for makeup in the “cat look” style will be a matte bronzer . By evenly distributing it over the surface of the eyelid, we will achieve a natural glow of the skin, reminiscent of a light tan.
- Then, using a black cosmetic pencil, we will shade the edges of the upper eyelid and create a light hazy effect using black and gray eye shadow. How to correctly draw these lines and apply shadows is shown in the figure below.
- For more contrast above the eyes, apply a light pastel eyeshadow (we recommend beige, yellow or a strong nude shade) on the main part of the eyelid, and apply a darker eyeshadow (purple, blue, brown, purple or dark silver of your choice) on the traced lines. .
- The lower eyelid should be lined with a black pencil, and then similarly create a haze effect using black and colored shadows.
- After this, you need to outline the contours of your eyes using eyeliner . Be sure to make sure your eyeliner is waterproof to ensure your makeup stays vibrant and vibrant during the party.
For greater clarity, we offer you step-by-step photo instructions for this type of makeup, and below is a video of how to make up your eyes for the image of a cat.
Drawing a cat's face
If you love body art, we offer another makeup option. With its help, the entire face is painted and a drawing of a cat's face is applied to it. It's quite easy to do this:
- to the face as a base for makeup, and then foundation (preferably light, so that the complexion is porcelain and resembles makeup).
- Apply brown, pink or dark beige blush , and bronzer to the cheeks.
- Eye makeup is done in the style of smoky eyes , i.e. with a haze effect. And liquid eyeliner applied to the contours of the eyes emphasizes it even more.
- In this case, the arrow needs to be drawn from the inner corner of the eye and drawn towards the temple, beyond the boundaries of eyelash growth.
- On the lower eyelid, such a line is also drawn, connecting with the arrow of the upper eyelid at the bridge of the nose and forming a small corner. So we will make your look slanted and cunning like a cat.
- Next we paint the eyelashes . If they are not thick enough, you can use false ones.
- You can also experiment with the shape of your eyebrows. They can be given any shape and thickness depending on your preferences.
- Paint the tip of the nose in the shape of a triangle . Happened? Ok, then with a black pencil we draw a vertical line down from the nasal septum to the upper lip.
- On the sides of the drawn line we draw several points, and from them - antennae.
- Now it's the turn of the lips. The classic option is to paint over the upper lip with a black pencil . However, you can also cover them up completely with brown, black or maroon lipstick.
One of the options for this makeup can be seen in the video below.
We advise you to practice applying such make-up in advance so that preparing for the party does not take up much of your time.
Children's face painting
For the youngest guests of the Halloween masquerade, it is recommended to use face painting, i.e. harmless hypoallergenic paints for skin. Believe me, the child will enjoy this drawing process, and the transformation into a kitten itself will bring a lot of pleasure.
Applying a drawing to the face is not a difficult task, so even those adults who cannot call themselves artists can cope with it. This body art is done in several steps:
- Above the child’s upper lip, use white paint to draw the base for a cat’s face.
- Paint the tip of the nose with black paint.
- We draw a thin strip from the nose down to the upper lip, and round off the lines around the white base. The result was cat cheeks.
- We will draw dots and antennae on them.
- The bridge of the nose can also be painted white.
- Now we can draw the kitten’s face itself.
- We draw the outlines of the ears above the eyebrows, draw a tongue on the lower lip, and highlight the fur and ears in black. By the way, you can choose any color of wool.
The color and shape of the muzzle is a matter of taste. It can be plain, striped or spotted.
At the same time, you need to take into account that the shade and texture you choose matches the suit as a whole. For example, if you chose leopard print, then a tiger stripe suit will not be the best option.
Below we have presented a selection of photos of face painting for children, which will help you choose the appropriate motif for the image of a cat for Halloween.
