Strobe Flashlight
According to the Latin proverb, clothes make the man. However, the Romans didn’t celebrate Halloween. In this season of frightful merriment, the costume doesn’t necessarily make the character. As any fashion consultant will tell you, accessories will make, or break, your outfit.
Already have a costume? Great, but don’t stop there. And if you’re still deciding, don’t forget about the add-ons that will set your costume apart. As you browse, think about these accessories:
Lights for Safety
If you’re going to be trick-or-treating, safety should be your first concern, as cars need to see you. You can dig up a flashlight from the basement, or you can purchase a light-up accessory. Glowsticks are the old standard, but also check out lighted staffs, hanging medallions, bracelets or strobe wire that you can wrap around your costume. Some will include batteries, and some will require you to supply your own.
Masks and Makeup
Nothing completes a costume like a mask or makeup. Your choice depends on your costume, where you’re going and your tolerance for detail.
For simplicity, nothing beats a mask. You buy it and you’re done. If you’re costume is a well-known character, a mask completes the look. However, masks have drawbacks. Depending on the size of the eyeholes, your vision may be restricted, which is a safety concern if you’re walking outdoors. An indoor party is not without issues – try wearing a mask and eating tortilla chips and queso without ruining the illusion of horror.
That leads to makeup. You see clearly, you don’t dribble the dip and you can customize your look to suit your artistic vision. But it takes work on your part. If you’re unsure, get someone to help you or buy an instruction sheet.
Not all makeup is equal. Generally, use blush for cheeks. Cake makeup is fine for your face and arms. If you’re covering a large part of your body, use cream makeup for efficiency. Check the package instructions to see if you need a foundation coat.
And in putting it on, don’t forget about taking it off. You can remove some makeup with soap and water, but with some you’ll need a cleanser.
Prosthetics
Slash and burn time. Nothing completes a costume like a realistic wound or an artificial appendage. You’ll need spirit gum to attach the prosthetic to your skin. Check to make sure it’s included as part of a kit, or buy it separately.
Headwear
Don’t forget your head. Think about a hat, a wig or both. Hats come a variety of shapes and sizes. Allow extra space if you add a wig. Some wigs are designed to snugly fit over your hair. Others need theatrical double-sided tape to attach to your forehead and back of your neck.
Props
Finally, don’t underestimate the value of a well-chosen prop. It’s pointless to be Leatherface without the chainsaw, or Michael Meyers without the kitchen knife.
Remember, this ain’t Christmas, when you can throw lights on your shrubs and call it good. It’s Halloween. Don’t forget that a well-stocked costume site [http://www.fishlipscostumes.com/categories.php?cat=1066] will help you find the right accessories quickly and easily. Go crazy. Scare small children. Above all, have fun.
