BLACK & WHITE COSTUMES


Ok, this is cruch time, people! We are just hours away from the day of the year, that is our reason for living (or not living, in some cases...) Halloween is almost here, and I know lots of you are still looking for last minute costume ideas, so let's talk black and white.

This is such a fun costume idea, and you can get very creative! Paying tribute to film and television before they contained color, you can add white or gray makeup to your skin to really look the part! Think Marilyn, Bogie, Chaplin.... and don't forget our favorite vampire, Bela Lugosi!
 
With a 40′s or 50′s costume in black, white, and shades of gray, you can be a Film Noir detective, bombshell, or your favorite classic horror star in no time! All you'll need is a few pieces from your parent's closet, maybe a trip to the thrift store to find an outfit.... and some black, white, and grey Halloween make up from the party store.

Remember when doing the make up, to cover your entire face, neck, hands.... any skin that might be showing, in the white or grey make up. Because after all, you just stepped out of a black and white movie....
