Only once a year there comes a day when the line between the world of the dead and the living is blurred - this is Halloween. Ghosts and spirits living in the world of spirits move into our reality, enter our homes to find warmth and food. Most of the inhabitants of another world do not wish us harm and simply use the absence of a barrier between the worlds in order to study us better.
But there are also dark spirits among them, pursuing only one goal - to take as many people as possible to themselves - to the world of the dead. To prevent this from happening, people have to create the most terrible images on Halloween, dress up in original costumes and put on scary makeup.
So that evil spirits do not take you into their world, we invite you to try on one of the most terrible and original images on Halloween. In other words, to make sure that evil spirits, at the sight of you, would fall back into their gloomy world of the dead.
Among the most popular Halloween images are vampires, zombies, witches, skeletons and other inhabitants of the invisible world. Your festive look can be done in bright, flashy colors or in the soft, pastel colors of an old crypt.
It will be commendable if you try to create an image for Halloween with your own hands: take paints in your hands, buy black cloth for a devilish costume in a store and build an incredible hairstyle on your head. But you can buy a ready-made suit right away, and with it the best image.
A porcelain doll, frighteningly lifeless and motionless. Her phlegmatic emotions frighten much more than the most terrible faces and heartbreaking screams. This is certainly one of the scariest female Halloween looks and all. Only here it is banal to impossibility. However, as an option, it will do.
The most popular Halloween costume. And after the release of the popular Twilight saga and The Vampire Diaries, this image is even more actively used on Halloween by both guys and girls.
You don't have to be bitten by another vampire to become a vampire on Halloween. The main thing is the teeth and a deadly white face. However, around the eyes you can draw painful bruises of green, blue or even black.
Witches are not necessarily an old, unkempt woman in her sixties, in a worn dress and cobwebs on her head. Female images of a witch on Halloween can be very attractive.
Red, flashy lipstick, gloomy shadows on the eyes and clear, lined eyes. And add a small mole to your original image and draw a cobweb on your cheek or cheekbones.

So what's the big deal on Halloween?
A little over a decade ago, Halloween began to be celebrated in Russia. What do we know about this holiday? Black, red and orange colors, horror stories, incredible outfits, pumpkin heads and the night from October to November - such associations come to mind when you hear the name of the holiday. In fact, Halloween has been around for 2000 years and has grown into numerous traditions, stories and legends. Day of the Dead is another well-known holiday name.
In Russia, the holiday is developing thanks to progressive youth who prefer to party in discos and nightclubs. Halloween parties are prepared on the night of November 1 by many nightclubs in our country, decorating the premises with pumpkin lanterns, draping the halls in black and orange tones.
Halloween is an ancient pagan holiday that has brought to our days a funny tradition of dressing up in costumes of witches, demons, vampires, and evil spirits in general.
It is believed that on the last night of October the border between the worlds of the living and the dead is erased. And people, putting on terrible masks on their faces, scare away evil spirits and ghosts from their homes.
Hair, makeup and Halloween costumes

To add some color to your Halloween hairstyle, try products that are easy to remove. For example, colored lacquer or colored mascara is the easiest to wash off. Just wash your hair with shampoo and use a moisturizing conditioner. A replacement for colored varnish can be colored strands on hairpins or even a colored wig.
3. Colored hair, Katy Perry
Add an unusual texture to your hair with the frill tongs. This is a great hairstyle for a vampire and will definitely be one of the most popular looks at Halloween parties. Just remember to use a heat protectant to protect your hair from the heat of the iron.

Many Halloween hairstyles require a lot of bouffant to complete the costume. Spray your hair with hairspray and comb your hair gently from bottom to top. When it's time to brush your bouffant, do it with a plastic-bristled brush that's gentle on your hair. Start at the ends and finish at the roots to detangle the bouffant.

Halloween divination
The Celtic priests, from whom this tradition came to us, burned bonfires and put treats on the street for the spirits. They sacrificed animals, made predictions and guessed.
Some fortune-telling has survived to this day. Like Christmas, they are most popular among girls. Throwing two chestnuts into the fire defines a life together with a young man. If the chestnuts burn nearby - to be together, if they roll in different directions, then the paths of the guy and the girl will diverge. Sitting in front of a mirror with an apple at midnight, you can see your betrothed. To contemplate the witch on this night, according to legend, is also possible, it is only at midnight to walk down the street backwards in clothes upside down.
Halloween look
Most often, costumes for a fun creepy night are rented, but if you have sewing skills and time, you can create your own individual scary look. The most popular among the images of this night is the costume of a witch and a vampire.
16. Fairy, fabulous images
17. Scary images for Halloween
The pumpkin head is a traditional symbol of Halloween. Everyone can make it by removing the inside from the pumpkin and creating a scary or funny face, at their discretion. Well, a lit candle inside the pumpkin will make a mysterious head out of it.
In America and Europe there is another integral attribute of this holiday - the rite "Treat or regret!" Children - little devils go from house to house and beg for treats. If they refuse, the owners of the house run the risk of smearing themselves with soot on the handle of their door.

20. Red Demon Costume
Someone considers this night another opportunity to scare friends and relatives, someone believes in legends. There are people who do not recognize this holiday. However, Halloween has been bringing joy and fun to many for many years, attracting with its spectacularity and unusualness.
Not far off is All Saints Day, the night when they knock on the door with the words "Sweets or death." This is a gloomy, a little frightening, but at the same time something still bewitching celebration. Less than a month is left before it, which means that it is very important for a girl to think over her Halloween image in detail. Absolutely everything is important here, down to the color of nails and eyeliner. This is exactly the day when you need to be terribly beautiful.
Scary female images for Halloween
Do you want something unusual, chilling blood in your veins? Well, then here are some new images for you in the piggy bank of ideas. To create them, it is not necessary to run to the first store you come across and buy branded items. It is enough just to rummage through the boxes that have long been sealed and laid in the attic in the far corner. It is possible that it is there that you can find the right thing. Do not worry too much if there are any spots or scuffs on it - in any case, the outfit will have to be doused with fake blood, smeared on it with someone's brains, or rather fake cranial insides. In general, you need to create the most realistic image.
So, let's call look No. 1, without any exaggeration, "Insane". We put it in a horizontal strip, pour it with colors of red and gray. We turn the hair into tow. For more horror, we insert a special lens into one eye that changes its color. Do not forget to bring your friend Misha, a teddy bear, who will have to hang on a rope tied to the hand of a pseudo mentally ill person throughout the party.
Look #2 requires less color blood, but looks no less intimidating. So, we borrow a red chignon from friends, make our lips pale, not forgetting to draw cracks on them. And the main highlight of the image will be the blood flowing from the eyes. And in order to completely reincarnate, throughout the evening do not forget to make a distraught expression on your face.
Become the Joker's girlfriend for one night? Easy! And it does not matter if this handsome man is not around. Look No. 3 will give the image a mysterious beauty and sexuality. All that is needed to create it: a huge pink bow, a black wig, on which we dye the front curls red, a crop T-shirt, which we pour over with blood and a spectacular make-up.
If the Walking Dead series is on your list of favorites, then why not turn into one of those that has risen from the dead and craves blood, fresh flesh? The main thing here is not even clothes, all stained with red spots, but a memorable make-up. By the way, special contact lenses will make the image truly nightmarish.
Perhaps one of the best and rather unusual images for Halloween will be the one that most of all resembles a risen from the grave. We put on an elastic mask on the head and decorate it with a heartbreaking make-up. In general, it is important to create an image of a person whose body has already begun to be eaten by worms, more precisely, whose soul has long flown away, and the earth has begun to take the body.
Some more ideasOf course, the previous reincarnations are very spectacular, but few of them give the girl sexuality and femininity, but such Halloween images as witches, cats, dolls or vampires are a completely different matter.
So, to become a cute witch, it is not necessary to come to a party with a nasty wart on your nose and a broom. Remember Zelena, the heroine of the American TV series Once upon a Time. She always has elegant outfits and, however, green skin.
Or the image of a cat? Cats will absolutely love it. Mesh stockings, stilettos, tight leather dress, sexy ears and a charming make-up - the image is ready.
You don't have to wear the head of a dead pig to look memorable. It is enough just to choose something that will become a partial personification and help to express yourself from a completely different side.
One of the most mysterious holidays is Halloween. On the one hand, this is a carnival, during which you can have fun until you drop, on the other hand, in most cases, guests choose the most gloomy and terrible images - monsters, revived dead.
However, the characters of the Halloween holiday are so diverse that it's hard to even say which costume is not suitable for this holiday.
Fairy tale characters
It is not at all necessary to disfigure yourself with terrible makeup and douse yourself with artificial blood. Romantic images can be quite appropriate. For example, white angel, fairy, elf.
It is especially recommended to choose pleasant images for children. Toddlers can be dressed up as characters from fairy tales. Girls make pretty princesses, Snow Whites, Little Red Riding Hoods. Boys can be offered costumes of gnomes, foresters or heroes from The Wizard of the Emerald City - the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman.
You can use the images of animals, offering kids images of a cat, tiger cub, bear cub.
sexy characters
Women, in principle, do not tend to disfigure themselves, so not every girl wants to appear in the form of an evil old witch with a wart on her nose. But there are also sexy female characters on Halloween. Moreover, the choice of characters of this plan for girls is practically unlimited.
The same witch may not look ugly, but attractive and seductive. There are many more sexual images. You can, for example, dress up as a devil, a leader of pirates, a little robber.
Gone celebrities
Quite often, the image of famous actors or singers who have already gone to another world is chosen for a Halloween party. To become recognizable, you will need the work of a professional makeup artist. Often chosen images such as Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, John Lennon. Girls prefer images of Marilyn Monroe or Elizabeth Taylor.
Traditional characters
Traditionally, on Halloween it is customary to dress up in costumes of skeletons and witches. The first version of the image is associated with the veneration of death. And it is customary for witches to dress up, since it is sorceresses who can communicate with spirits and the world of the dead.
Also, a fairly traditional option is the dead, werewolves and ghouls who have risen from the graves.
Movie characters
But the most popular characters for Halloween are, of course, the heroes of various movies. Moreover, horror films are not necessarily taken as the basis. For example, the inhabitants of the planet Pandora, that is, the heroes of the film Avatar, are a very popular image today.
But, of course, the characters of horror films are beyond competition. Thanks to them, the scariest Halloween characters are created. Photos of the heroes of some films can really terrify, therefore, these characters are among the most sought after.
The most popular Halloween movie-related characters are:
- Count Dracula. This is perhaps the most famous vampire of all time. However, after the release of the Twilight film cycle, the blood-drinking count on the pedestal of popularity was greatly replaced by a noble vampire named Edward.
- Freddy Krueger. Despite the fact that films about the adventures of the not very handsome Freddie were released more than thirty years ago, this character is still popular. To create this image, you can buy a spectacular latex mask.
- Leather face. A film about the adventures of a maniac who not only killed people, but also sewed masks for himself from human skin, was released back in 1974, however, it is still on the list of the most terrible and bloody. Therefore, the character of this film is quite often chosen to create an image for Halloween.
- Billy from Saw. A creepy puppet used by a homicidal maniac to negotiate with his victims is a pretty popular Halloween character. Moreover, this image is relatively easy to create: the most recognizable features are a white face, black eyes with red pupils and blush on the cheeks, drawn in the form of spirals.
- Creepy Chucky Doll possessed by the soul of a serial killer. This image evokes horror even by its appearance, since the face of the killer doll is covered with numerous scars.
- Maleficent. This beautiful witch is often seen at Halloween parties.
- Annabel. A creepy doll with an angelic appearance and a devilish essence is a suitable character for Halloween.
- Samara Morgan from the movie The Call. This very scary girl with her appearance is able to scare anyone.
- Queen of Hearts. This image from the latest production of "Alice in Wonderland" was very fond of the girls.
- Bellatrix Leistrage. Fans of the history of Harry Potter have introduced a fashion for this character. To create the image of the most faithful comrade-in-arms of Voldemort, you don’t have to greatly disfigure yourself, but the features of madness in this heroine should be present.
The list of movie characters that you can try to recreate on Halloween is endless. You can use film classics, for example, why not dress up as Pannochka from Gogol's Viy. Or draw ideas from new films that are released annually.
How to choose the right character?
The list of Halloween characters is endless, since this is a carnival, and everything is possible at a carnival. But such a variety of images makes it difficult to choose. How to choose a character in which you want to transform into a party?
You can, for example, choose an image, focusing on your date of birth, or rather, on the signs of the zodiac. The recommendations of astrologers already extend to the area of choosing a costume and make-up for a party.
But it is better to focus not on other people's recommendations, but on your own feelings. The character that is planned to be implemented should, if not be liked (what, for example, might a maniac-killer like?), Then at least touch a nerve. Only in this case will it be possible to create a truly interesting image, and not just a "cast" from the on-screen hero.
When choosing a suit, you need to consider your own personality. If a person is modest in life and does not like to be in the spotlight too much, then he should not wear a too provocative costume. It is necessary to wear the chosen suit for some time at home in order to get used to it, to understand how to move in it. For example, a girl who wears only jeans and trousers in everyday life may feel uncomfortable wearing a tight mini dress.
On the eve of All Saints' Day, or Halloween, it's time to think about choosing the right costume.
If you prefer bright and colorful images filled with mysticism and mystery, a witch outfit will suit you. This classic character has long been a frequenter of fashionable masquerade parties, carnivals and youth parties.
And the image of a fairy-tale witch, enchanting and funny, was especially fond of children and teenagers.
So let's get started?
Step 1. Choose the right type of image!
Before you start sorting through your wardrobe in search of a “witchy” outfit, you need to consider the type of your character, the details of his appearance and costume.
Which image of a witch you should choose depends on your imagination and preferences. The most popular options are:
- Elegant dark sorceress;
- old witch;
- Sweet witch;
- Fairy witch.
Each type of this image has its own characteristics.
How exactly they differ and how to create the basis for them, we will describe further.
Elegant dark sorceress
This look is perfect for those who prefer sophisticated outfits. A seductive witch can wear a beautiful tight-fitting dress (preferably evening) or a short skirt and a corset. A deep neckline in a suit is especially welcome.
And high-heeled shoes or boots will serve as a kind of addition.
The prototypes for your image can be characters from famous films: Maleficent, Dark Shadows, Wii, Snow White and the Huntsman (on the first photo), American Horror Story: Coven or Snow White and the Huntsman, Dark shadows", "Salem".
You can see them in the photo below.
Effective, right? Such an image will be the brightest and most eye-catching at any costume party.
old sorceress
If you are already reincarnated, then thoroughly.
If these words are about you, then choose the image of a terrible old witch.
Such a character will remind everyone of the well-known Baba Yaga, with her unkempt shaggy hair, hooked nose and dark lean skin.
In addition to the classic appearance of the Russian Yaga, you can opt for its foreign version: an old sorceress with bright green skin, a hooked nose and warts on the skin.
The outfit of such a witch does not at all resemble clothes from an expensive boutique - on the contrary, for the costume you will fit the oldest and most unusable dress (or robe), which can be specially cut or ruffled to heighten the effect.
cute little witch
Not all witches are evil. Among them there are also kind, funny characters.
Let's remember, for example, Sabrina from the series of the same name or the heroine Cassie Nightingale from the series The Good Witch. Such witches are more reminiscent of people than evil spirits, but a certain mystical charm and element of mystery is not alien to their image.
The advantage of such a witch costume is that it does not require a lot of makeup, although you can spice up the appearance with the help of artsy body art on the face or false eyelashes with rhinestones.
fairytale witch
This image descended from the pages of well-known fairy tales.
A typical witch in a long mesh skirt, with a broomstick and an old scarf on her head, tied with a bow in the style of Solokha from the famous Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka.
However, you can modernize this image by making it look like fantasy world characters - fairies and elves.
The costume of such an enchanting witch will suit both children and adults. It may consist of a long dress, a beautiful tiara and a cloak.
And to make the sorceress even more like a fairy, you can attach wings to your back (you can make them from wire and colored mesh or light fabric).
Step 2. Make a spectacular witch makeup
To create a bright image of a good sorceress or an evil sorceress, you need to find the most colorful cosmetics in your arsenal (perhaps even the most unusual colors for you). Makeup should cover not only the face, but also open areas of the body - neck, décolleté, hands.
Consider the traditional version of the "witch" make-up:
If you want to apply not makeup, but makeup, the following video will be useful to you. It shows how you can visually change the shape of the face, its features, creating the image of an evil sorceress.
Children's witch makeup is created in a similar way: after applying the foundation, the face is painted in the desired color using blush, powder or foundation.
Since the skin of children is delicate, its reaction to cosmetics should be checked (for this, a cosmetic product is applied to the skin of the child's hands).
You can also use special children's hypoallergenic cosmetics.
One of the makeup options for the image of a witch for a girl with elements of body art is shown in the pictures:
For an older girl, you can make a simple elegant make-up with a light haze effect, shading the cheeks and highlighting the eyes.
One of the most spectacular images for a party is considered a cat. We will tell you how to choose a costume and create an original one.
And if your partner has chosen a brutal image of Dracula, we will tell you about the costume and apply makeup yourself.
Step 3 Witch Hair
There may be several hair styling options to create the image of a dark sorceress. For most of them, you will need to let your hair down and make it lush.
A slight carelessness of the hairstyle is even welcome.
However, if you have chosen the image of an elegant witch, you need to style your hair neatly and stylishly. They can be straightened, giving the strands perfect evenness, or twisted curls, adding splendor to the hairstyle.
You can also make an Elvira-style bouffant (a kind of "hello" from the eighties).
It is ideal for medium length hair and those who have bangs. (pictured left)
The hairstyle of a fashionable witch can be supplemented with colored or gray (pictured right) strands. To do this, you can use special artificial curls or spray paint for temporary hair coloring.
Don't be afraid to experiment with your hairstyle! Try to make a real "witch" styling with an asymmetric effect, using the strongest hold varnish.
Another hairstyle option is the popular Crow's Nest. For such styling, you need to twist the strands in the form of a nest and secure them with 10 invisible ones.
Step 4. Doing a Halloween Manicure
When creating the image of a witch, you need to pay attention to details, in particular, manicure. There may be several options:
- Monochromatic coloring of nails (in black, red, burgundy, brown, purple).
- Elements of simple ornaments.
- Special stickers for nails.
- Professional manicure with a pattern.
- Overhead tips.
For a manicure it is better to choose bright varnishes and colors of drawings for nails, because the outrageousness of your image will depend on this detail.
STEP 5. Where can I get a witch costume for Halloween?
The witch's outfit consists of several traditional elements that are integral attributes of any sorceress.
So, the wardrobe of the dark sorceress includes the following:
Children's costumes can be made from similar elements. They will have one distinctive feature - the color scheme. For a girl, colorful outfits are perfect, which you can decorate with flowers and bows.
Step 6 - Finally, choose the accessories
Finishing the preparations for the Halloween party, let's pay attention to the accessories for the image of the witch.
It can be:
- unusual handbags a la Shapoklyak;
- brooms;
- magic wands with stars at the ends;
- toy spiders;
- lizards, snakes or bats;
- ribbons, silk bows;
- vintage pendants, large earrings;
- talismans, tarot cards and other attributes of a true witch.
Follow the tips above and your witch outfit will be second to none at any costume party!
In conclusion, a few more photos of Halloween witch costumes for girls and girls that may inspire you. Choose the appropriate image of the sorceress, and be sure that your guests will be enchanted and bewitched by your costume!
