With halloween approaching and many of us being so busy, it is hard to find a halloween costume that is quick, efficient, and not pricey. We still want to look cute and participate in the halloween tradition, but we also want to ensure its not just a one-time wear. Today, I’ll be sharing a very quick and easy costume you can pull together in minutes.
What is it?
It is a theme that is very in style right now with clothing especially, you guessed it, cheetah/leopard Print! In a matter of moments, you can put together the most adorable cheetah/leopard costume and attend your halloween party or go trick-or-treating feeling good.
What do I Need?
You will need:
-Cheetah/Leopard Print article of clothing (preferably a top)
-Brown and Black Eyeshadow
-Eyeliner
-Mascara
-Hair ties
How do I Pull it Together?
Wear your simple animal print t-shirt or top with a pair of matching or black pants. Then get ready for the fun part, the makeup.
Starting with the forehead and cheekbones, I’d do some heavy contouring and bronzing to bring in that feline look. Then, use some eyeshadow and your fingers or a brush to apply medium sized irregular dots across the sides of your forehead and cheekbones. Using your eyeliner, make two half circle type of shapes on the perimeter of the circle to get that cheetah/jaguar print look. For an added sense of spice, do a cute eyeliner on the eyes, starting all the way from the inner corner until the outer. I would also put on some mascara, focusing the majority on the outsides of the eyes to get that cat eye look. Finally, use either some black shadow or eyeliner on your nose and eyes. On the nose, shape out half the tip to shade in with the black color. Then, connect it down the cupids bow down to the lip where you can outline your top lip in black.
For the hair, if you have naturally curly hair, I would leave it down and curly. The wilder it is, the better. The next option could work for all hair types, whether curly, straight, or wavy. It is to make cat ears out of your hair on your head. I’ll attach a video below on how to do this, but essentially, all you need are a few of the small, elastic hair-ties. Simply braid two pieces of hair on the middle of your scalp on each side, then secure the top braid to the bottom in a triangle shape using another hair tie.
Final Thoughts
This is an adorable look/costume that can be made to look more spicy depending on what it is that you are doing. It is super time efficient and won’t have you spending large sum of your paycheck on a one time wear. It can also be easily adjusted to any other animal print you may have in your closet.
