For scary costumes, a variety of makeup is available that is safe to use on the body and face. There is white paint to cover your face if you aren’t wearing a mask. There is black paint to put around your eyes. The all time favorite is red paint and liquid blood to let roll down your face and costume. Some costumes contain liquid pumps that create the effect of blood flowing down.

If all of this sounds too extreme or out of your budget, there is always the idea of a make it yourself costume. Old plaid and gingham dresses will help make a pretty raggedy Ann doll, using makeup for big blushing cheeks.

A never fail idea is using an old sheet, cut it to the right height of the person wearing it, and cut circles for eyes, then you’ll become a ghost. Using these Halloween costume ideas in general will help you have fun picking or making your costume and you’ll have a blast of fun, and may just be the hit of the party.
