Hannah Montana Halloween Costumes – Make Them Unique
Want to find unique Hannah Montana Halloween costumes but can’t afford the time and effort it takes to make one from scratch? Well there is a solution.
Face it, we mothers are busy – between taking care of our families, cooking, cleaning, our jobs, volunteering at school, car-pooling – well, WHEW . I am exhausted just thinking about it. Who has the time to make an outfit from scratch. My suggestion is to buy one of the terrific selections of Hannah Montana Halloween costumes that are available, and then customize the costume by becoming your own stylist.
You can become the stylist and really “make” the outfit by concentrating on the hair, makeup and accessories. Have you ever watched Project Runway? While the designers were focusing on designing an amazing dress, they also needed to give their attention to hair and makeup. It was the entire ensemble and how well all the accessories complemented the outfit that had a big influence on the final judging. So let’s look at all the elements of becoming the best Hannah Montana for Halloween.
First, some of the costumes come with wigs and some don’t. Be sure you read the details so you know exactly what comes with any purchased costume. If your daughter has long blonde hair, well you are all set. Wear it straight with bangs and you have the Hannah Montana rock star hair. Just look at some pictures online of Hannah Montana and see if you can duplicate one of her styles.
If your daughter’s hair isn’t blonde, you might want to purchase a wig or buy some temporary hair color – usually a spray – that is available around Halloween. Go to your local CVs and you are sure to find one of those temporary spray in hair colors. A safer choice, in my opinion, is to buy a wig, or to buy a costume that comes with a wig. That way you can be certain to avoid any hair disasters that can strip away the fun of Halloween.
Pay special attention to the accessories since they really make the outfit. An oversized, sparkly metallic belt is a great place to start. It adds an immediate rock star shine to the Hannah Montana Halloween outfit. Look for a belt that will coordinate with her school or dress clothes so you get plenty of use from it after Halloween. You can also decorate a belt that is already in her closet by combining a variety of sequins with other sparkly decorations. If all else fails, take a great sparkly scarf, wrap it around a belt, and make yourself a wonderful improvised rocker belt.
Next, let’s find some rock star jewelry. This depends on whether your Hannah Montana Halloween costume has a skirt or slacks. In ALL cases, she can use a sparkly bracelet or a sparkly, but small, necklace. I like a silver cuff bracelet for its versatility. If you prefer, you can use a small necklace. A cute pendant always works. Just be sure it sparkles and is something your daughter will want to wear after Halloween. I would not do both the bracelet and the necklace. That starts to scream overdone. Like they say in fashion circles, after you put on your jewelry, take one piece off. Always good advice. My suggestion is to look at a bunch of Hannah Montana photos and see what type of accessories she is wearing. You can always try to duplicate one of her looks.
You must get the makeup right so your young Hannah looks like she is a rock star ready to perform on stage. You don’t need to be a professional makeup artist to turn your daughter into Hannah Montana the rock star, but you do need a few makeup tips. Let’s start with the eyes. You need lots of lashes, so first find a nice volumizing mascara – put on several layers so your lashes really pop. Find some glittery eye shadows and a black eye liner. Create dark, smokey eyes by applying black eyeliner on the bottom and top of your eye. Smudge the liner, and apply brown, green, lilac or pink sparkly eye shadow. Finally, apply a little bit of the sparkly eye shadow to the bottom lashes and blend with the eyeliner.
So, have fun with this. You can be your own fashion stylist and send your daughter out for Halloween trick-or treating looking like a unique Hannah Montana rock star diva. Have a Happy Halloween.
