Tips For Women When Wearing A Creepy Halloween Costume
1. Make sure you are comfortable in your costume and it isn’t too tight, itchy, or difficult to move in if you’re going to be wearing it for a long time.
2. Heavy makeup or face paint can feel suffocating after a while. Use products that are safe for prolonged wear and allow your skin to breathe.
3. If your costume or makeup involves masks, hoods, or wigs, make sure you can see and move around safely.
4. Always test makeup products on a small patch of skin before applying them to your face or body to make sure you won’t have a reaction.
