Monday at Mackenzie's gymnastics class it was dress up day! Mackenzie wore black leggings, red and black tutu, and a white long sleeve shirt. She was either Minnie Mouse or a ladybug I couldn't decide (and I forgot a picture). I decided against her wearing her fox costume (I know big surprise Mackenzie is a fox for halloween!) due to the fact that it is fleece and bulky, I thought that would be difficult to wear during gymnastics. Anyways, I thought I would be the "cool" mom and dress up with her, to my surprise I was the only mom that did! Since I was missing a small piece of my costume I decided last minute on what to dress up as, my actual halloween costume was just as simple. I thought this would make a great post because some of you might have decided last minute you wanted to dress up or you got a last minute invite to a costume party. I hope these help you out.
1. Scarecrow
Most of this costume is in the makeup. I used coral lipstick on my cheeks and my nose, and a light pink on my lips. I them took a black eyeliner outlined my cheeks and nose and added a stitched smile. Next I lined my eyes using black and did 3 small triangles under my bottom lashes. Applied mascara and face was done. For clothing put on a plaid shirt, jeans, boots and add a straw hat. Viola, a very cute scarecrow.
2. Cat
This one was all in the hair. I found this super cute video on youtube of how to do braided cat ears (see the video here). For my makeup I did bright red lips and added a little flip with my eyeliner to make a cat eye. I also used a black eyeliner to draw a heart shape on my nose and add whiskers. For outfit I opted to go sans tail, I wore black faux leggings, black long sleeve tee, and black flats. To dress this up you could wear a lbd and some black heels. Super cute!!
I hope these super easy, super cute costumes help you out. Here is Mackenzie helping me carve our minnie mouse pumpkin. Enjoy!!
Happy Halloween,
Dorinda
