Halloween is right around the corner and I don’t always participate in dressing up for the holiday, but I love seeing what others come up with in terms of costumes and make up. I think this is the perfect time for people to get creative and it’s amazing to see youtube videos and Pinterest DIY costume ideas. I still don’t know if I am going to dress up, but I did a bit of research on what others are coming up with and I decided to share the most popular and creative ideas I found online.

1. Glamorous Skulls: After Desi Perkins kicked off the dripping skull trend last year, many are imitating her hollowed out look in a variation of ways. It is easy to do with just some face paint, and you can pair it with whatever outfit, whether you want to look spooky, or just fabulous. This is a happy medium for embracing the scary and beautiful aspects of Halloween. There are multiple variations online if you want to play with color or design, so don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone! Although art may not be your forte, if you love makeup and painting, this may be the Halloween idea to bring out your creativity.
   
2. Disney 2017: From the queen of DIY herself, LaurDIY has come up with three costumes to feature the latest three Disney movies that came out in 2017: Cinderella, Goodbye Christopher Robin, and Moana. Her tutorials are notoriously easy to follow and these costumes are a great reboot of some older style Halloween costumes. Whether you want to be a princess, an adventurer, or a cozy teddy bear, you will definitely the one you’re looking for. A favorite will definitely be the Winnie the Pooh costume that will keep you warm on a chilly, Halloween night. 
3. Daenerys (Game of Thrones): If you haven’t seen Game of Thrones, you probably have been living under a rock. With the newest season of the show having everyone sitting on their couches, it’s not surprising that there will be several characters walking on the street on Halloween. Daenerys is definitely one that easily put together with a white gown and a pale blonde wig. The costume is both elegant, yet socially relevant. Maybe you can even get a friend to be your Jon Snow!
4. Snapchat Filter: We all know and love Snapchat filters, so why not turn them into reality for Halloween? With the arrival of new filters everyday, the possibilities are endless. Turn yourself into a dancing hot dog, a deer or just throw on a flower crown. You can also turn it into a group costume by having each of your friends recreate one.It is one of the easiest and unique costumes that you can pull of last minute! Glamour lists below easy tutorials of how you can bring these digital filters to life. Follow their easy step by step tutorials to achieve their looks. 
5. Pennywise: The remake of Stephen King’s classic, It, will have you seeing lots of scary clowns during Halloween. I’m sure people want to embrace the horrifying aspects of the character, but I personally looked for an alternatives to the classic Pennywise. There’s really very few things scarier than a murderous clown, but that doesn’t stop some people from making it their own. Glam up the clown makeup with some glitter and some winged liner, and you’re ready for a Halloween party. 

What do you guys think of Halloween? Are you excited and are you dressing up? I would love to hear about your costume ideas and plans!
