Very first for organization. Halloween comes each and every year, right. So, why not save Halloween gear just like Christmas gear. The day after Halloween just clean and shop all items that can be reused for the same character or for any new character for one more year. Take wigs as an example, after a couple of years you possess a collection, a little cleaning and styling and you are able to generate any number of characters for very little or no cash.
Planning ahead is a must if you want to save cash or win a costume contest. Insist that everyone decides on their character on or before October 1st. That way you have 30 days to locate and purchase everything you need. I have made the selection as early as July, so that each and every detail could be taken care of in a creative manner. I know, not everyone can start planning for Halloween in July, but in case you do you may have top notch, contest winning adult or child costumes. I know this helps for future years. but it's already October so let's get to this year.
Selection from the character will determine the amount of research required to come up with an authentic looking costume. The key is to do something that looks good. I did not say copy the character, get close and look good. I have found that picking something well known and doing a fair job with hair, makeup and attire will win or place in the costume contest. You are not going up against professional costume and makeup people here, that is why a fair job looks great. Remember costume parties and trick or treating is done in low light levels, again that is why it truly is simple to look great. When you are going towards the bright lights and TV camera close ups, you better get professional help.
When shopping for hair go to a wig shop. A cheap wig is much better than what you find at a costume shop. Purchasing the cheapest of anything is not a good deal, remember we can save the wigs for years of use. Make up is an additional area which you will end up dripping and messy if you buy the costume shop low-cost stuff. According to the character you could need to acquire the attire from the costume shop. That is unless you or someone you know is good with the sewing machine. You may always save money should you are lucky enough to find clothes and props to work with at yard sales, the Salvation Army Retailer, family or friends - any place with used items and clothes.
Halloween need to be a fun night for all so be careful not to make a costume that is complicated, hot or restricting for the point of being uncomfortable. Go to Costumes For Kids Retailer for some great Halloween tails and more costume information.
