@makeupby_esc killed this demonic look! You can go all out and add prosthetic horns to take this terrifying yet traditional devil costume even further, or you can simplify it to suit your skill level. If you’re wondering how to apply prosthetic makeup, here’s a quick run-down:
 

  • Apply the glue to the area of your skin where you want the prosthetic to go. Make sure this glue is safe for your skin; check out our supply of Paintglow Spirit Gum, which is great for prosthetics but easy to wash off! 
  • Let the glue dry down before applying another thin layer both to the skin and to the base of the prosthetic. 
  • Wait until this glue is tacky (typically 20-30 seconds) before firmly placing the prosthetic on the skin. Hold it down to help it stick, and then you’re done! 
 

SFX makeup and prosthetics are a great way to elevate a simple Halloween makeup. Add cuts and gashes to a final girl outfit with some fake blood for a spooky, realistic effect, or add prosthetics like horns for the perfect monstrous costume. 

 

However, if you’re looking for an easy Halloween costume, you can keep it simple by adding some contact lenses to your costume. @makeupby_esc uses our Black Mini Sclera Contact Lenses in her red devil makeup. These lenses are great for a demonic costume, as their wider diameter takes up more space in the eye, covering the whites. This is ideal for a creepy, possessed, or non-human costume! 

 

 

Our Hellraiser Demon Black Costume Lenses are also perfect for enhancing your devil costume. The black iris adds a scary, soulless aspect to your look, and if you go for a traditional red outfit, this will be perfectly complemented by the ring of red around the outside of the lens. 

 

 

The Devil Red Costume Contact Lenses quite literally have the costume in the name, meaning these are perfect for pairing with your demonic Halloween costume! The blend of bold, blood red and deep black will certainly help your costume stand out, even if it is otherwise basic. 

 

 

The devil is a popular and classic Halloween costume, so it’s perfect for those making a last-minute decision to go out and celebrate this year. You can get a costume online, or easily make an outfit out of your own wardrobe by dressing in black or red, or a mix of both!

 

Whether you’re going stag this Halloween or you have a bestie ready to sit on the other shoulder, devils are an undeniable fan-favorite Halloween costume due to their instant recognisability and easy-to-create look. Angels are also a timeless Halloween costume for the same reason! We love to see iconic angel and devil duos, but either of these costumes is also great alone. 

 

For a classic angel costume, of course, you have to wear white! Most finish off the look with a halo and a pair of wings; you can DIY your own halo from some pipe cleaners, a hairband, and some tinsel! Take your costume a step further and level up your DIY Halloween costume by using a pair of costume contact lenses

 

Our Angelic White Costume Contact Lenses are a super complementary pair of lenses that would match perfectly with an all-white angelic costume. Enhance your angel Halloween costume with a pair of white contact lenses to emphasise the supernatural aspects of your costume! No person naturally has white eyes, so these lenses are perfect for channelling a holy (or unholy) vibe on Halloween night. 

 

 

If you’re after a distinctive but more colorful look, then we have plenty of colored contact lenses available, ideal for an array of costumes! Our electric Wizard Blue Costume Contact Lenses are perfect for an angel costume, enhancing the ethereal nature of the look. Our alien contact lens section is full of colorful options that add an out-of-this-world level to your look!

 

 

Another classic Halloween costume is a vampire; our bestselling contact lenses are all great options for a spooky vampire Halloween costume. Our bestselling Halloween contact lenses include our Zombie White Costume Lenses, a super versatile block colored contact lens that is great for an assortment of costumes. These colorless lenses are the perfect addition to any costume to help bring it to life and truly make it stand out. The blank, undead appearance they give to the eye is perfect for Halloween and dressing up as a creature of the night. 

 

 

Red contact lenses are also always a fantastic option for a classic yet terrifying vampire costume. Reflect the bloodthirsty nature with a pair of vibrant, blood-red contact lenses! Our Vampire Zombie Red Costume Contact Lenses are another one of our bestsellers; they’re clearly up for the job of completing your vampire Halloween costume, as it’s in the name of the lens! 

 

Both of these lenses are also perfect for a creepy zombie Halloween costume! Whether you’re inspired by Minecraft zombies, The Walking Dead, or The Last of Us, a pair of contact lenses to block out your natural eyes will only add to your spooky costume! Achieve a soulless and dead look with a pair of the block colored lenses. Or, if you’re planning on staying in this Halloween but still want to create a fun costume, why not try our Blind White Costume Contact Lenses for a transformative effect? 

 

Our blind contact lenses completely cover the eye, including the pupil, with an opaque pigment. This is fantastic if you want to achieve a dramatic transformation, as the lenses completely change the appearance of your eyes, even covering up the pupils for a spooky special effect! However, because these lenses cover the pupil, they also obscure your vision. With this pair of lenses, you will have limited visibility; most can see outlines of shapes and some light through these completely opaque lenses, however, some have described experiencing great difficulty seeing anything. This is why we do NOT recommend wearing these lenses whilst out or at a party in low-lighting.
 

 

One way to work around the difficulty of seeing through the blind lenses is by simply using only one, and leaving your other eye plain or using a different lens with a clear pupil hole! In this gory SFX makeup look, affiliate @madison_ingram_sfx creates a perfectly spooky Halloween look using only one of the white blind contact lenses

 

In her easy werewolf look, @makeupby_esc also uses two different kinds of lenses:

In this look, @makeupby_esc is using one of our Mesh White Costume Contact Lenses and one of our Cosplay Yellow Costume Contact Lenses for an inhuman and blinded effect. As the mesh design includes small, clear squares, these lenses are great for a spooky look whilst retaining more visibility! Your vision will still be impaired, however not as much as by the blind contact lenses. We still recommend taking caution when wearing any sort of lenses that obscure some (if not all) of your vision. 

 

 

When creating a monstrous Halloween costume, if you’re looking to create a stand-out werewolf or animal costume, we recommend using a pair of our slit-eye pupil lenses! Our cat eye pupil lenses are ideal for any animal-themed costumes, as they disguise the rounded, human shape of the pupil. These lenses have a clear hole in the centre for the pupil, so you have full visibility, and a design that lengthens the appearance of the pupil. 

 

 

We have a range of colors and styles available, with some lenses even available in UV shades! These UV contact lenses require a blacklight to be activated, but they would be perfect for creating an unforgettable Halloween costume! These glowing and vibrant lenses would be ideal for a creepy and unnatural animal costume. Add a spooky, monstrous vibe to your costume with a pair of light-up UV lenses. 

 

A witch is yet another classic Halloween costume; we have plenty of lenses available that would be fantastic for any witchy costume. A pair of pitch black lenses, such as our Blackout Black Costume Contact Lenses, would be perfect for creating a scary witch costume. Or, keep it traditional with a pair of Witch Green Costume Contact Lenses; everyone will be under your spell with such a captivating finishing touch to your Halloween costume. 

 

 

If you love Halloween but you’re still looking for some Halloween costume inspiration, we hope this guide helps! You can never go wrong with the classics, and a pair of contact lenses is the perfect way to elevate a costume from ‘basic’ to exciting!
