OK, maybe these are not the most unique Halloween costumes, but if you’re in a pinch and need a last minute costume, here are a few easy ideas to execute.  All you need is a little makeup and about 15 minutes.

Vampires:  If you haven’t already jumped on the Twilight band wagon, now is a good time to go as your favorite Twilight character this Halloween.  To get the look, start by applying a foundation or powder that is lighter than your natural complexion – the cakier, the better! Next, play up those eyes with black eyeshadow and eyeliner. Finish the look with DuWop’s – Twilight Lip Venom.  Fangs will earn you extra credit!

A Baby:  Put your hair in pigtails and draw on freckles using a brown eyeliner pencil. Throw on footed pajamas or a long nightgown and you’re good to go.  Don’t forget to carry a baby doll, baby bottle or pacifier.

Housewife:  Put your hair up in curlers, slather an inexpensive mask all over your face and wear your most comfy robe and slippers. Super cute and super comfortable!

A Cat: Draw a black nose and whiskers on your face using black eyeliner. Wear a tight black long-sleeve shirt and black leggings or jeans. Most Halloween stores have inexpensive ears you can purchase. Or, you can always make some using a black head band and construction paper.  Grrrr..baby!
