Vampire Costume Ideas
![]() In the past few years, vampires have kind of lost their luster, unfortunately. These days, they're seen as more sexy than scary, so why not do your part to bring back the image of the evil, powerful dark vampire that people should actually be afraid of? You can bare your fangs and hiss at strangers like vampires were meant to.
Bloody Dracula
![]() Dracula is supposed to be as seductive and alluring as he is scary, but he's probably more the latter when he's covered in the remains of his last meal. Put together a classic Dracula costume with elements that you can buy at a party store and get some fake blood. After you've finished doing your creepy makeup, squirt the blood everywhere, all over your costume. Have it dripping out of your mouth and down your chin. Gross? Disturbing? You bet, but this is what vampires are supposed to be. They are blood-thirsty creatures of the night, and nobody should forget this. These are dark costume ideas that we're going for here, so there will be some bloodshed.
Vampirette (Female Vampire)
![]() When creating the perfect female vampire costume, the first step is to focus on the makeup. A generous portion of white cake face paint is necessary, with a touch of red blush, black or blood red lipstick, black eyeliner, black or blue eyeshadow, and black eyebrows. If you do not already have long black hair, then you should either color your hair black or wear a black wig. To make yourself look scarier, you can add some fake blood below your lips and/or on your clothing too. Make sure you wear clothing that you don't mind wasting if you're going to put fake blood on it. As a female vampire, you'll want to wear clothing which makes you appear scary and attractive at the same time. A tight polyester black dress will certainly achieve this goal. But if you want to go all out on the vampire look, you could wear a black caplet that is open in the front. It should also have red satin style lining too. Alternatively, you can wear a black velvet dress with hanging bell sleeves. Your footwear can be black high heels or slippers. Do not forget about your teeth. You can add some vampire fangs over your normal teeth. You can find these for sale in literally any novelty store. You can also purchase the fake blood there too. But if you go to a Halloween store which sells premium quality accessories, you should pick up a pair of vampire contact lenses for your eyes. There is nothing scarier than a vampire with red or green eyes. To complete the look, you can add jewelry as an extra option. Perhaps you could wear a big red moon ring on your index finger and a black pearl necklace around your neck. Back to Top ![]() |
