The Halloween holiday came to us from the West relatively recently, but despite this, every year it is gaining more and more popularity among our compatriots. And what is All Saints' Day without a masquerade? Therefore, on the eve of this holiday, many of us begin to wonder what to wear to the party. One of the most successful and fashionable images can be safely called a vampire carnival costume. How to make it with your own hands, and will be discussed in our article.

Vampire costume for boy and man

The numerous films about bloodthirsty, but charming vampires, constantly shown on television, have contributed to the fact that in our minds a distinct image of these creatures has formed. As for clothing, the indispensable attributes of a bloodsucker costume are black trousers, an exquisite silk shirt,a burgundy or bright red vest and gloves. You can complement the image with a small accessory - a jabot or a Celtic cross, which is easy to find on sale today.

Also, the look of a bloodsucker would be incomplete without a luxurious long black cloak. Since not every one of us is a master of all trades, it is not necessary to sew it (the only exception is, perhaps, only a children's vampire costume). You can look in your wardrobe or ask one of your friends or acquaintances for a dark-colored raincoat designed for the off-season. If you are the owner of such a thing or were able to get it somewhere, then to complete the image, you need to turn up the collar, and do not put your hands in the sleeves. A cloak with a red lining will look especially impressive, but it is quite possible to do without it.

Don't forget makeup and hair

In order to complete the look of a vampire, you need to take care of your hair. This is done very simply: we apply hair gel on our hands and thoroughly ruffle the vegetation on our heads. If you are the owner of long hair, then you can also use the gel to comb them back, giving your hair shine and gloss. If you are preparing a vampire costume for a child, then a suitable outfit and appropriate hairstyle will be enough. If a teenager or an adult plans to participate in a masquerade, then the appropriate makeup should not be neglected.

Making up a bloodthirsty bloodsucker is easy to do. All you have to do is apply a few layers of light to your face.powder and bring with a black cosmetic pencil. You can also add vampire fangs bought or made with your own hands to the image and draw a thin trickle of blood that seems to flow from your mouth.

How to DIY a vampire costume for a girl and a woman

If in the case of a carnival outfit for men, everything is quite simple, then the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity will have to, as they say, sweat a little over the image of a bloodsucker. In order to look like a real vampire, you need to take care of a long dress (preferably in the Gothic style), and appropriate makeup, and a luxurious hairstyle.

You may need to fork out a little to buy an outfit or spend some time in order to sew it yourself. However, this is the highlight: you can be sure that no two vampires will be the same at the holiday.

As for the length of the dress, young girls may also prefer short dresses, made, however, all in the same black and red colors.

In general, the principle of creating a costume for the fair sex is the same as for men: black base color with splashes of burgundy or bright red. However, it is allowed to break such traditions a little by choosing for the carnival a dress of other shades already in your wardrobe, which can be tied to a vampire theme using various accessories: a cross,corset, bat jewelry, etc. In addition, do not forget about such important elements of the image as long gloves and a belt. And if your dress has long sleeves, you can sew improvised batwings on them, which will definitely make your outfit luxurious and memorable.

Makeup and hairstyle for the vampire costume

The foundation of the female bloodsucker look is a very pale powder paired with bright red lipstick and black eyeliner. At the same time, in order not to overload the image, one should focus either on the lips or on the eyes.

As for the hairstyle, it must be intricate. If you plan to appear at the festival with your hair down, then give it a stylish disheveled look or curl it in large beautiful curls. You can also make a luxurious updo by decorating it with some thematic elements.

How to make bloodsucker fangs

If you plan to make a vampire costume with your own hands, you still should not go on Halloween without stocking up on “dangerous” fangs. The easiest way, of course, is to purchase this invariable vampire attribute, but if there is nowhere to buy it, or you are determined to create the entire look from A to Z on your own, then a couple of tips and recommendations are at your service.

Make vampire fangs out of soft plastic

Today on sale you can find a large number of different sets for children's creativity. You should purchase one that includes modeling accessories. Take the white plastic and through trial and error, try to mold the fangs to the shape and size that suits you. Do not forget to try on your new teeth and imagine how you will look at the holiday, as they say, in all its glory. If the craft was a success, dry it in the oven until completely hardened. You can adapt the fangs to your own teeth with nail glue. However, once in character, do not try to bite off a piece of meat or an apple, otherwise all your work will go down the drain.

Make bloodsucker fangs with cotton wool

This method is simple and at the same time very unreliable. In order to make fangs, take an ordinary cotton swab and remove the tips from it (the cotton components themselves). On each tip, you need to drop a little nail polish, press it to your teeth and hold it for a short time. At the same time, you should not count on the long-term effect of vampire fangs, because if you keep your mouth closed, the cotton wool will soften very quickly and lose its appearance. Therefore, we recommend resorting to this method only as a last resort.
