Halloween 2020 is going to look different than any other Halloween we have experienced before… but in a way, this is the perfect pandemic holiday. Face masks can easily be worn as a complement to a variety of costumes, and makeup can really make your look come together.
Here are the top 5 Halloween costumes to wear in 2020:
Tiger
Tigers have been a trending animal throughout the entire year, and it’s easy to pay homage to their popularity this Halloween. Grab your favorite tiger-striped face mask, and have someone apply realistic tiger stripes makeup to your face, and you’ll be set!
Skeleton
When you combine expert makeup with a unique face mask, you can easily create a DIY skeleton costume. Find a face mask that has a skeleton smile, and then complete the look with makeup that brings out your bones.
Mermaid
For a look straight out of a fairytale, find a gorgeous sequin face mask that looks like a mermaid’s tale. Then, use eye makeup to give yourself that sea creature look. You can pair this with a beautiful floor length gown or even a lifelike mermaid tail to finish off your costume.
Jack-o-Lantern
This tried-and-true costume is particularly perfect for Halloween in 2020. There are a ton of jack-o-lantern smile face masks available, or you could create your own. Then, just add some makeup to complete your pumpkin look!
Zombie
One of the most classic Halloween costumes is the zombie costume, and now is the perfect time to put your own spin on this timeless option. Decorate your own face mask to make it appear decayed, and then add makeup to give yourself that realistic back-from-the-dead look.
