Special effects can make your Halloween costume win first prize for any costume. Halloween costumes for adults should include a few special effects to make you stand out in a crowd.

It is always fun to see what you will look like when you get old. A paste of flour and water rubbed on your face will give you the look of aging. When it dries save some powdered foundation over it to get the flesh color back. You can be one hundred years musty for Halloween.

Change the shape of your eyes with the white first aid tape that you utilize for bandages. This works well for pulling your eyes assist for an oriental look. Pull the eyes down for aging or a mean look. (Not that they are the same thing!). Liquid foundation will cover the tape up so no one will ever know. No one will know who you are this Halloween.

You can get an extinct wig and cut it up for this special effect. Use two way tape to paste the hair to one side and attach the other side to your face or any other part of the body you want hairy. You can exhaust this for a realistic beard and mustache or go as a hairy cave man. When Halloween is done, it is an easy shave!

Zombies are easy to do with white baby powder as a foundation. First put on facial cream so it will stay on your face. Use dusky watch shadow to build rings around your eyes and red lip stick as eye liner. What would Halloween be like without Zombies!

Nylon stockings can be used to make your face unrecognizable. Darken your eyes with dismal eye shadow and eyeliner. Cut two holes for your eyes and one for your mouth out of the stocking. Put it over your head so that you can witness out of the holes. Assume a paste of flour and water and put it smoothly all over the nylon leaving holes for the nostrils. Put powder over the flour paste and it will dry quickly. You will look deranged, but that is Ok, it is Halloween.

For a quick and special effect Halloween Costume you will need to pick up a Sombrero.

You can call this your “life hat”. With fishing line hang everything that represents your world off your hat. An old cell phone, tampon, cooking utensils, a loaf of bread, a sneaker, faded credit cards, an empty milk carton with your picture on it, an empty bottle of aspirin or laxative and the list goes on. I saw this done one Halloween and it was funny.

With a little imagination you can have the Halloween costume that will be the talk of the party. You can do this in a matter of no time at all.
