Halloween is considered by many to be the best holiday of the year! Adults and children alike eagerly look forward to Halloween not only for the candy but for the sheer fun of being scared! And of course part of the fun is making sure you've got one of the best Halloween costumes around.
Safety has always been a concern for parents when it comes time to taking the children to store after store searching for the perfect Halloween costume. Some of the cheaper materials years ago could easily catch on fire. And as if that weren't bad enough, buying a costume that didn't fit well had its own safety concerns. If your little princess was wearing a gown only an inch too long, she could easily stumble down the staircase or fall crossing the street.
Today's materials have changed quite a bit. By law they must all the fire retardant and a few are actually waterproof... Something that comes in handy for unforeseen rain showers. Always look for costumes that have strips of material that can glow in the dark, or at least make certain you are buying a costumes that are made up of material where you can add your own below in the dark strips.
If you happen to be handy with a sewing machine and material, you're probably one of those moms who becomes very popular during holiday time, especially around Halloween! There's nothing like a custom-made costume to strut your stuff in and impress your friends and neighbors.
For adults, however, they tend to rent their costumes more often than anything else. Hitting to the annual Halloween party at a downtown hotel or even at your best friend's country estate usually mandates a quite elaborately put together costume that can only be found at a professional costume rental store. Since many of these parties are planned well in advance, it would be in your best interest to find a store that actually has a website where you can search through the costumes and reserve the one you want. If you wait too long and try to head to the store you may be out of luck.
When it comes to kids, their needs are usually fairly simple. It doesn't take much to keep a three-year-old happy as a ghost or a pirate. The major parts of these costumes can usually be found around the house and mom' s makeup kit can usually add some very credible last minute touches.
You can even find makeup kits meant for specific characters. Even though mom's makeup kit might be the easiest place to start in a pinch, it probably won't have everything you need to put the perfect finishing touches on any Halloween costume.
Look for kits at your local drugstore or even grocery store. You can buy generic kits for monsters or even very specific makeup items for outfits like Superman or Frankenstein Halloween costumes. Add some fake teeth, a few pints of blood A. K. A. Catchup, and some white flour or talcum powder on your face, and you might even be able to create your own unforgettable monster or even new action hero. - 39969
