We’ve even included makeup tutorials to nail the perfect look for the costumes that have a tricky makeup application.

With the huge success of the remake of Stephen King’s IT Movie; Clowns are back this Halloween season! IT is currently playing in theaters and recently became the first horror movie to gross $300 million.
This year clown costumes will be putting a spin on Pennywise, giving him a scarier look. Makeup artist Alison McCann (@aluhhhsonsfx ) may have just slayed the Pennywise costume this year. You can check out her Instagram to see all of her unique makeup ideas.
Giraffe
According to Refinery29, Pinterest searches for “giraffe makeup” are up by 1200% this year. Random right? For some odd reason giraffe’s are in and the aesthetic is all in how you do your makeup.
The makeup look that stood out the most, based on Pinterest searches, was by Nicole Renard (@nicole_thenomad). Her makeup alone is the focal point of her costume. Feel free to add your own twist by throwing on a cute giraffe onesie or cute dress that goes with the color scheme.

Ansel Elgort in Baby Driver stole our hearts with his dreamy looks and rebel attitude. He and Deborah, made such an adorable power couple with their spontaneous and criminal love affair.
Are you and your boyfriend looking for a Halloween costume that is not your typical “bleh couple costume” like Sandy and Danny from Grease; or the expected Disney Prince and Princes? A Baby and Deborah costume is a fresh take and it’s simple to pull together. You can still use the outfits after Halloween (well maybe not for Deborah). Regardless, this Halloween costume is not too time consuming and gets to the point!
