Broadcast staffer Lily Bruce-Ritchie compiles five last minute Halloween costumes to try out for the spooky holiday.
Skeleton
Time to spook it up! Although this look is mainly focused on the face, feel free to dress it up or down. If you are more on the artistic side, this might be a great look for you because you’ll have the freedom of personally designing your face makeup.
What you’ll need: face paint/makeup, black and white clothes or an outfit that matches with your face makeup
Devil & Angel
You’re gonna need to grab a buddy for this one! This pair of costumes is the perfect way to dress up with a friend, adding a little something special.
What you’ll need (Angel): white bottoms, white top, wings, halo, gold accessories
What you’ll need (Devil): red/black bottoms, red/black shirt, red horns, devil tail
Bob Ross
This costume is a great fit for any Bob Ross enthusiasts or aspiring artists. If you’re looking for a more simplistic but creative costume this is the look for you!
What you’ll need: an afro (wig), dark wash jeans, belt, long sleeved blue button-up shirt, beard makeup
Tourist
If you’re like me and aren’t ready for summer’s end, this might be the look for you! With this one, you’ll get to add some summer vibes into your Halloween.
What you’ll need: shorts, floral button-up shirt, sandals, beach hat
Pennywise (Scary Clown)
This look is ideal if you’re looking for a little fright to add into your Halloween this year. With the recent release of the hit movie “It,” this is bound to be a super trendy and up to date costume. This is also a great one for those on the artistic side for the same reason as with the skeleton.
What you’ll need: face paint/makeup, primary-colored clothes (optional), balloon(s) (optional)
