Diy Easy Halloween Black T Shirt Costumes Roadkill for Teenage Guys

Can you believe it's already been 10 years since the first Twilight book has come out? Stephenie Meyer just released a new edition of the book that comes with another book: Life and Death, which is basically Twilight re-written with all the genders of the characters changed. So Bella becomes Beaufort and Edward becomes Edythe. Apart from a few more names that are even more ridiculous than Renesmee, the story is exactly the same.

Anyway…

As Halloween is fast approaching and Twilight characters are always popular characters for dressing up, I've compiled this list of some really detailed replica jewellery and other accessories that are just the same as the ones worn by the characters in the movies.

These make great accessories for Halloween outfits or if you're a Twilight fan, you'll probably enjoy wearing them all through the year. They also make great gifts for fans of the series.

Twilight Engagement Ring

51NmWVPA93L._SY355_

buy1._V192240163_Here it is! The ring that has girls all over the world swooning at the thought that they could be marrying Edward Cullen. This silver engagement ring set with cubic zirconia stones is an exact replica of the one Edward gives Bella in the Eclipse movie! A must-have for die-hard Twilight fans.

Rosalie's Necklace

51lcUrGC6xL

buy1._V192240163_This necklace looks just like the one Rosalie wears in the first movie with a pendant featuring the Cullen family crest. It's made by NECA, which is the company who made the actual pieces for the movie, so you know you're getting the real thing!

Bella's Crest Ring61JNRCkwODL._SL1500_

buy1._V192240163_When Bella is accepted as part of the Cullen family, she receives this crest ring. Bella is seen wearing this ring in the New Moon movie when Alice sees a vision of her as a vampire. Every member of the Cullen family wears an item of crest jewellery so this is an important token to show she's been accepted.

Renesmee's Bracelet

71rbilpgpeL._SL1400_

buy1._V192240163_This fabric bracelet is a replica of the one that Jacob gives Renesmee for Christmas and would also make a great xmas gift for you or a friend!

buy1._V192240163_This leather wrist cuff is Edwards version of the crest jewellery that every member of the Cullen family wears (this cuff is also worn by Jasper and Emmett and Bella wears a female version of it). It's a great gift for Twilight collectors or just for accessorising an outfit.

buy1._V192240163_Now this one is a good accessory for Halloween! This replica necklace looks just like the one the Volturi wear in New Moon. Just add a black cape and you have a great Halloween costume.

Twilight Immortal Perfume

41Vuj9GHpJL

buy1._V192240163_Did you know there was a Twilight perfume? I did not – obviously I am not a big enough fan. If you want to smell like Bella (the scent that is completely irresistible to vampires!) this is what you need. I'm not sure it's too safe to wear on Halloween with all those vampires around though… All joking aside, this is not a cheap perfume – it smells very nice and is a great addition to any Twilight collection.

The perfume is based on the description of Bella's scent by Edward in the book – top notes of citrus and chamomile with heart notes of white freesia and peony, and base notes of oriental patchouli, amber and musk.

As much thought has gone into the bottle as creating the scent – the glass is designed to be a representation of the look and feel of vampire skin.

Twilight Breaking Dawn Bella & Edward Barbie Dolls

51gs5MTPUIL

buy1._V192240163_Ok obviously not jewellery but I had to include these! Edward's looking his usual moody self and Bella is styled as she was straight after her vampire transformation – complete with leather jacket and sparkly skin. These are official Barbie dolls and I'm actually pretty impressed at how much they look like the characters in the movie. You can also get Bella in her wedding dress and the whole family of Cullens, along with Jacob and all the other major characters. See all the Twilight Barbies here.

It's the little details that really make a great Halloween costume. Even a plain black dress can look incredibly scary and spooky if you spend time getting your makeup right and accessorise with some of this Halloween themed jewellery.

These are also great gifts to give in goody bags at a Halloween party or as an alternative to sweets for trick-or-treaters

All these Halloween earrings, bracelets and necklaces are made of good quality materials so they don't look cheap and tacky. In fact you could wear them at any time of year if you tend towards the dark side of fashion and look great with gothic outfits or out clubbing.

The pendant measures approximately 3 inches by 2.5 inches and the chain is 70cm long in a twisted rope style. This skull pendant is amazing value for money and great quality for the price.

Using makeup can be a really effective and cost-effective way of creating a scary Halloween costume. However many of the looks showcased by popular beauty and special fx makeup artists use lots of different makeup that can be quite expensive if you end up buying all of it.

I noticed there are some really cool makeup sets around this year that have all you need to create some spooky and effective looks at a very reasonable price. Here are some of the best:

The Grudge Makeup Kit

41Iq-AVJO1L

buy1._V192240163_The Japanese do horror films really well and a costume based off one of the scary ghosts in a movie like The Grudge is sure to freak people out and impress your friends this Halloween. This is one of the easiest Halloween fancy dress ideas out there – you can simply wrap yourself in a white sheet! If you don't have long black hair then you'll need a wig, but what really makes this look is the makeup.

This kit contains:

  • Stargazer white liquid foundation
  • Black Compact eyeshadow
  • Laval Kohl eyeliner
  • Scary white contact lenses

Glow in the Dark Skeleton Makeup Kit

810IQC51+xL._SL1500_

buy1._V192240163_A skeleton is another really easy costume to create. You can either paint bones onto a tight fitting black t-shirt and leggings or just buy a Halloween onesie with a skeleton theme if you're feeling lazy.

This kit includes glow in the dark facepaint which makes your look even scarier, particularly if you jump out at somebody in the dark!

The set includes:

  • Glow in the dark cream

Killer Clown Makeup Kit

51BSQVzVOHL

buy1._V192240163_This one terrifies me because I have a real phobia of clowns! Never mind killer clowns, normal old clowns are scary enough!

Kit includes:

  • Facepaint in black, white and red

Broken Doll Makeup Kit

81Ip6Qgb5zL._UX385_

buy1._V192240163_A broken or creepy doll has become a very popular fancy dress theme for Halloween, probably because it looks a lot prettier and sexier than most Halloween costumes so you can look scary without sacrificing your attractiveness.

This set includes:

  • Face paint palette with 4 shades of pink and white
  • 2 pairs of false eyelashes and adhesive

  • Black eyeliner pencil.

Halloween Joker Makeup Kit

61N7OX3xNEL

  • Black eyeshadow pen
  • Red lipstick
  • Green hair mascara

Zipper Face Halloween Makeup Kit

71tZYCvgPtL._UX385_

buy1._V192240163_The zipper face effect has become a very popular Halloween makeup look which looks really impressive and scary when done right. It's also versatile and easy to personalise as you can makeup your face however you want under the zipper – zombie, vampire and werewolf are all popular options.

This kit includes all you need to complete the look:

  • Zipper
  • Fang putty base and catalyst

  • Spirit gum remover
  • White and red facepaint

A pale white face forms the basis for many different costume ideas. Vampires, zombies, dead people, witches, ghosts etc etc – they all have unnaturally white faces. Luckily it's pretty easy to make your face white on Halloween night, even without makeup, and there are several ways you can do so – some using items that you can find around your house so you won't even have to go shopping!

1.White face paint

If you're after a solid white base that looks completely white, rather than just pale skin colour, going for a commerical white Halloween face paint is your best option.

Face paints can vary widely in coverage and quality, so don't just buy a cheap Halloween kids makeup as it will probably make you break out in spots because it's so greasy and rub and sweat off over the course of the night.

Good quality Halloween face paint doesn't have to be expensive. Snazaroo is a very popular and inexpensive brand that's used by many professional special fx makeup artists. It's water-based and comes in a cake so it's easy to apply – you just use a damp sponge and dab it onto your skin.

white snazaroo face paint

If you prefer a creamy paint that can be applied without water, go for the Snazaroo face paint in clown white. This can either be applied with a sponge or with a brush, making it ideal for painting small details, but it does feel a little greasier than the dry version and you'll want to make sure you set it with some powder after application.
snazaroo face paint clown white
Once you've finished applying your white makeup, it's important to set it with powder for a matte finish and to stop it from rubbing off too easily. Stargazer loose white powder is ideal for this as it's easy to apply. You can also use the powder on its own if you want a more subtle pale-skin effect.white loose powder

If your face is painted in colours other than white, then go for the translucent version of the powder to set your makeup.

2. pale foundation

Not all costumes work best with a completely white face. Some costume ideas like vampires, work better if your skin is still a natural colour, but just very pale. This looks more realistic and somehow manages to make your whole costume more scary. If this is the look you're going for, it's better to choose a very pale foundation rather than using white face paint.

If you're going for a realistic Halloween makeup look with foundation, it's important to use a primer first for a flawless look. This will help to make your skin smooth and blend out imperfections before you apply the foundation so you can get that perfect porcelain skin that vampires and creatures of the night possess.

W7 Prime Magic Camera Ready Face Primer is Amazon's bestselling primer, with hundreds of 5-star reviews. It's also one of the cheapest foundation primers on the market so it's a real bargain!w7 face primer Rimmel Match Perfection in Light Porcelain is a great choice of foundation for this look because it's several shades lighter than the lightest shade of other brands and provides excellent coverage. To make it even paler you could add a light dusting of white powder on top.rimmel match foundation light porcelain

If you want a white face for Halloween but don't like the feel of face paint on your skin, you could also choose a white foundation. Stargazer liquid foundation in white is used by professional makeup artists and gives a sheer white coverage that's somewhere in between full white and just pale skin. You can also mix it with your normal foundation for a paler look.stargazer white liquid foundation

3. Talcum Powder or Corn Flour

If you're throwing together a last minute Halloween costume and just want to make your face white with something you've already got around the house, talcum powder or corn flour should do the job. It won't cover as well as white face paint but it should make your face sufficiently pale to pass as a zombie or a vampire or whatever you're dressing up as.

Make sure to moisturise your face well beforehand so that the powder sticks to your face.

4. Homemade White Face Paint

For more coverage than plain powder, or if you're worried about the chemicals in Halloween makeup that you're putting on your kids, you can make your own white facepaint by mixing your normal moisturiser or skin lotion with corn flour and a little water until you reach a nice consistency with decent coverage. You can also add food colouring to make coloured facepaint.

5. Sudocrem

If you have kids at home you most likely have a pot of Sudocrem antiseptic ointment lying around or if not, you can easily pick one up at your local supermarket (it's well worth it as it's useful for so many things – cuts, burns, rashes etc). This thick greasy cream has great coverage if you want to make your face white and although it feels greasy when it goes on, it actually dries out your skin and has the added bonus of helping to clear up spots and it has a lovely lavender scent. Again it's best if you finish off with a dusting of powder to set.

Getting dressed up for Halloween is loads of fun but what's even more fun is finding two complementary ideas for costumes that you can wear as a couple. Whether you're looking for an idea for costumes to attend a Halloween party with your husband or you're searching for cute things to be for Halloween with your best friend, there are lots of scary, funny and cute ideas here to give you inspiration:

Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas

The Nightmare Before Christmas tells the tale of Jack Skellington, pumpkin king of Halloween town, who discovers Christmas town and decides to kidnap Santa. Sally is a living rag doll who is in love with Jack.

Jack and Sally Halloween costumes are quite unusual but most people have seen the movie so you should be instantly recognisable, especially if you go as a couple.

This Jack Skellington costume is very true to how the character looks in the movie:41JTV5W0Z2L buy1._V192240163_If you're on a budget, you can create your own costume fairly easily by searching charity shops for a black and white pinstripe jacket and pairing with black trousers, a white undershirt and white gloves, that most of us will either have in the house already or can be bought cheaply. Then finish off the look with a Jack Skellington mask like this one:3104VeUPcjL._AA160_ buy1._V192240163_if you're not keen on wearing masks then you could also create a Jack Skellington face yourself using makeup:

The matching Sally costume is equally authentic, with a patchwork dress, gloves and red wig. You'll need to buy some white tights and find a pair of black boots to wear to complete the outfit:

814xhj1t6vL._SL1500_

buy1._V192240163_This costume didn't look quite right to me when I first saw it and I couldn't figure out why, then I realised that it's really the makeup that makes this costume. As long as you get the makeup right, you can probably get away with wearing any dress!

Shrek and Princess Fiona

Another famous cartoon couple that make a great idea for costumes for Halloween. These costumes contain all you need including a Shrek mask and princess Fiona's wig.

51j8O0qQ2-L._UX466_

buy1._V192240163_Alice in Wonderland and The Mad Hatter

Alice is one of those costumes that you can either make cute and girly or you can create a "Dark" Alice for Halloween or even a zombie Alice in Wonderland, with makeup. Whatever look you go for, the base costume is the same, and this Alice dress is perfect worn with some stripy stockings and a blonde wig:

41t+oklHlWL

buy1._V192240163_The Mad Hatter is of course the perfect accompanying costume to go with Alice. This is a really fun costume to wear and if you don't have the budget to buy the whole Mad Hatter costume, just get the hat and deconstruct an old brown or tweed suit (easily picked up in a charity shop) to look a bit whacky:

Daenerys Targaryen and Drogon the dragon from game of thrones

A few years ago, the must-have Game of Thrones Halloween costume was Khaleesi and Khal Drogo, but The Mother of Dragons has changed quite a lot since then and Khal Drogo popped his clogs a while ago. Luckily there are plenty of Daenerys costumes featuring her latest look (or you could make one yourself with a long blue dress and a blonde wig):

51OhDu3kZ+L

buy1._V192240163_Now there's not going to be a way around looking slightly comical dressed as a dragon for Halloween, so this is more of a funny costume than a scary one. Alternatively if you're ditching your other half or can persuade him to go as another character (John Snow is a popular and easy one), you could just buy this highly detailed Drogon plush toy as a prop:411fSuAVvQL._SX425_ buy1._V192240163_If you do get roped into dressing up as Drogon, then you're probably going to end up in something like this…. sorry!

Little Red Riding Hood and The Wolf

This is another costume where you can choose between making it sweet and sexy or dark and scary. Again, the man gets the short straw but at least there are some pretty convincing and scary wolf costumes out there.

41VOZtr4ttL

buy1._V192240163_This is the best wolf costume that I found that's actually the big bad wolf wearing Granny's nightdress. This actually makes it scarier!

Novelty contact lenses are an easy way to transform a run-of-the-mill costume into something really impressively spooky and scary. Not sure that contact lenses would make much difference? Just have a look at the zombie makeup tutorial video on this page and see how the lenses really make the overall look.

A few years back it was really difficult to get special fx contact lenses in the UK and they'd often have to be imported from the USA. Now there is a lot more choice and prices have come down too, making it within everyone's reach to get some affordable contact lenses to complete their Halloween costume.

Here's a little roundup I did of some spooky Halloween lenses, all available within the UK at very reasonable prices:

Green cat eye lenses

41LrjVF3IdL

buy1._V192240163_Dressing up as a cat can be a really quick and simple Halloween costume but you can really transform the look into something special with some carefully applied makeup and most importantly, cat eye contact lenses.

Red contact lenses

buy1._V192240163_Red contact lenses look really creepy and can be used for a wide range of Halloween costume ideas such as zombie, vampire or devil.

White out blind lenses

buy1._V192240163_These lenses will white out your eyes completely, making you look blind. They're ideal for zombie, corpse bride or dead girl type Halloween costumes and just look really freaky! Or maybe you could go as Arya Stark from the end of Game of Thrones season 5?

Ok I have to admit that the thought of dressing up for Halloween while I was pregnant never even crossed my mind. I did my fair share of dressing them up in cute pumpkin onesies but it was such a struggle finding even normal clothes that fit and were comfortable when I was the size of a house, the idea of wearing a Halloween costume was just unthinkable. However I think if I'd been living in a country that actually celebrated Halloween at the time, I might have got more into the spirit of things.

Plus I found some really cute and funny pregnancy Halloween costumes, especially designed for pregnant women so they'd be just as comfortable as your normal clothing.

If you're sporting a bump this Halloween, why not consider one of these great costumes. I'd love to see a photo if you have a costume with a bump, so please send me one over!

There's nothing cuter than a little chubby baby or toddler in a Halloween costumes. Some of the best kids costumes this year are for babies and it's almost making me wish I had another one just so I could have fun dressing them up!

Most toddlers won't really get the point of Halloween and while some like dressing up, others would rather be naked! You don't want to have to deal with a grumpy screaming toddler on Halloween night so it's important to make sure the costumes you buy are comfortable and easy to put on.

Luckily costume designers aren't stupid and most fancy dress designed for young children is comfortable enough for sleeping in. If you don't think you can get away with a full blown costume, there are plenty of Halloween-themed onesies and sleepsuits to choose from so you can get into the Halloween spirit with your little one with the minimum of fuss.
