Hipster Dear Costume Ideas



Shop for Dear Costumes @ Halloween Costumes

People love to dress up as animals for Halloween. So much so that the concept of a dear costume can be seen as quite trite and overplayed. However, we are here to make the Animal costume cool again.

• Simple Dear

While you can also purchase a deer mask, there is also a method of completing the costume on your own. To start, purchase some fake antlers from a craft store or Halloween store. These can also be cut out of brown construction paper and glued to a small hat. If you want to keep the costume simple, that's it.

• Complex Dear

For a more complex costume more will be required - using contour makeup, apply it liberally to your cheeks to create that elongated snout look. Apply black eyeliner liberally to your eyes and use a light brown to draw on your eyebrows. Using white foundation, apply small dots on your cheeks and temple, to mimic the varying colors of a deer.

Next, apply black lipstick to just your top lip. Then draw a line from your lip to your nose, and color in the tip of your nose. Finally, wear black or brown skinny jeans, a light brown striped shirt or sweater, some high-top sneakers, and some optional thick-rimmed glasses.
