Face Paint, Sponges and Brushes - Oh my!

Some of the biggest secrets to getting these looks to really turn out is having the right tools to do so! A little bit of pre-planning and researching what you’ll need before you get started on whichever makeup look you choose makes the rest of the journey a piece of cake.. Or pie.. Or whatever treat you’re indulging in this time of year!

Anyway! With any sort of face paint, we’d recommend going waterproof when possible! Cream palettes are super easy to blend, but be sure to keep anything else away from your facial area to avoid smudging!

Resting Witch Face

Gotta keep it in place! We don’t want to put in all this effort just to have it falling off by the end of the night! So once you’ve got your finished product, be sure to set it in place with setting spray, powder, or even applying a primer before getting started! A combo of all 3 should keep that makeup all set for the night(s) of mischief and spirits ahead!

Let’s K-I-S-S! (Keep It Spooky Simple!)

If you’re just looking to add a dash of spook without all the difficulties and trials/errors of an intricate look, we’d suggest adding some of these pre-set stickers or jewels directly to your cart! Throw on your everyday face, add these babies and voila! All set to go!

Scaredy Cat? No! Copy Cat? Yes!

Don’t be afraid to copy a little of this and a little of that! Using reference images to base your ghoulish look on can be beyond helpful when it seems like you’re stuck in a creative rut! Remember that it’s okay to look up inspiration photos and keep in mind that your final outcome doesn’t have to look exactly the same as the inspo pics!

Accessorize Those Devil Eyes

Whether it be with glitter, jewels, a pair of lashes or some graphic liner - this is one of the quickest ways to jazz up any Halloween look! Contact lenses are also a fun and simple way to really amp up the drama!

Oh, The Horror!

You didn’t think we’d forget the scary side of our favorite holiday, did you?! If you’re looking for the darker side or trying out some gory effects/prosthetics, liquid latex and spirit gum are going to become your new best friends! They can be a bit tricky, so we’d recommend playing around with them before giving it a first-try on the night of your next event! (Also- be weary when trying out stage blood because it does tend to stain!)

Halloween is the perfect time to show off your sizzling style and let your inner glamazon shine. Whether you're going for a goddess, devil, cowgirl, firefighter, fairy, alien, or cartoon character look, I've got you covered. Let's dive into some fierce costume ideas and the tips to slay them.

Remember, Bratz babes, Halloween is your time to shine, and confidence is your best accessory. Whatever sexy costume you choose, wear it with style, sass, and a whole lot of attitude. Happy Halloween, dolls!

Most themed costumes can be broken down into three categories: classic Halloween, pop culture, and funny. Discuss which kind of vibe you want to bring to your event with your squad first to help narrow down your options.

The next step is to consider how many people are in on the theme. Some themed ideas only work with a set amount of people. Is it just the two of you? There are loads of couple’s costume ideas on the internet. Devil and angel, Rick and Morty, the Wicked Witch of the West and Dorothy, an alien and an astronaut, etc. My best friend and I went as peanut butter and jelly one year.

If you have a group of three, there are a bunch of fun themed choices: the three sisters from Hocus Pocus, the Power Puff girls, the Three Musketeers, the Three Little Pigs, etc. For groups of four, you could go as the Hogwarts houses, Teletubbies, Mean Girls, etc.

Themes that don’t depend on the number of participants are great for groups big or small. Think Toy Story, Squid Game, Winx Club, Care Bears, Attack on Titan members, different flavors of White Claws, Bratz dolls etc. I even saw a group dressed up as chips and a bag of Doritos, which I thought was pretty great.

Now to the fun part: planning your outfits. Unless your group is going with an idea that is completely out there (I applaud you for your creativity, but also caution that you might get a lot of people asking what you are), odds are there is a costume at a costume store ready for purchase, but to put your own spin on it and make your theme turned rave is where stores like homegameauction come into play.

Start with your base. Try your best to match the colors or patterns to the character you are going for. Next are accessories. Especially with Halloween costumes, accessories can make or break an outfit. Does the character wear a hat? Do they have a signature item they always carry with them? What about jewelry? Every little detail you add to your outfit makes it more and more clear to others who you are trying to portray, just make sure whatever accessory you are adding to your look is allowed into your event.

And last, we have hair and makeup. If the character has a predominant physical trait, like big, poofy red hair or a scar, adding these finishing touches with a wig or some makeup will help solidify your character.

Whatever theme you go with, I hope this post has helped you think about different details of an outfit to consider so your outfit screams who or what you chose to become for the night. You can shop the Halloween collection at homegameauction here for last minute costume ideas. Have a happy and safe Halloween!

Partner Costumes:

I do think that any of these costumes would work as an individual, but with a friend or partner these costumes are on the next level. My personal favorites are the cowboy and space ranger costume set for fans of everyone's favorite pair of toys. You could also mix and match pieces from each costume to go as a space cowboy, that way you can create two different costumes with one theme if you attend multiple events and want to reuse pieces.

Woody Cowgirl Costume Set

Totally Buzzin' Costume Set

Costume ideas: light & dark angels, angel and devil, two angels and a devil for a friend group. You could also use just the wings and do a Black Swan inspired look with a friend by using both the white and black accessory kits and matching tutus.

Here’s some fashion inspiration to make every hour witching hour:

Does it come in Black?

As much as we love tie-dye and rainbows, there is something to be said about wearing all black at a festival. 

There’s an unspoken sense of power we feel when we wear black. There’s a level of seriousness that comes along with it and inspires us to be our most fierce and badass selves. Black doesn’t have to be boring. Layering different textures and fabrics as well as adding dimension can make a black outfit interesting and captivating.

Weave Me Alone Bodysuit @kenziefriedman @hanahweldonn

Black Widow Bodysuit, Charmed Bell Sleeves,  Pair Of Non-Slip Black Leg Wraps

Pentagram Accessories

The pentagram is one of the most misunderstood symbols in the world. It doesn’t stand for Satan worship like many think - in fact, far from it! The 5 points of the star actually symbolize the elements we encounter. The top line represents the spirit while the other four lines represent the elements: earth, air, fire, and water. To wear this symbol is to call upon the power of these elements and use them to your advantage.

Stargazer Mesh Bodysuit, Harness Leg Garters @_basskitten

Salem Harness, Pastease Glitter Pentagram Pasties

Legwear & Hosiery

An easy way to take your black outfit to the next level is to add interesting legwear. From moon and star patterns to every level of fishnet, we’ve got your legs covered-- literally.  Some of our pairs even come with an attached garter belt for extra strappiness and comfort.

Mystical Sparkles

No sorceress outfit would be complete without a dash of shimmer and shine. From metallic fabrics and sequins to cascading jingles, a sparkling element is essential. Even if your outfit is all black, adding glitter or face jewels is essential.

Lucy Velvet Bell Bottoms, Lorelei Sequin Mesh Halter Top, Lunautics Ros-Aye Glitter

Lorelei Sequin Lace Up Halter Top, Eden Lace Skirt  @svndygirl

Cosmic Heroine Mesh Skirt, Twilight Gypsy Wrap, Charmed Bell Sleeves

Witchy Pasties

Pastease Black Hologram Vertical Cross Pasties,  Pastease Glitter All Seeing Eye Triangle Pasties, Neva Nude Super Sparkle Glitter Star Pasties Pastease Black Glitter Happy Kitty Pasties

Rave Day Classics

Friday night I took my roommate, who had never been to a rave before. Parking by the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino can be kind of hard if you’re trying to park close, but we found awesome free street parking a few blocks away easily.

Once inside I was totally blown away by the lake as you enter the festival. The lights and circus tents reflection was beautiful and creepy. Looking around, there was already so much to see and we were ready to explore. Halloween is my favorite holiday, and I loved all the creepy themed performers walking around the event as well as the lengths to which attendees were dressed up too. Slaughterhouse had my favorite staged design with the creepy eyes looking out at you from the DJ booth the whole time. It was also fun to see a lot of DJs dress up in costumes too. I really felt like I was at a personal party vs a huge event.

At one point, I lost my phone dancing and believe it or not it found its way back to me. This is the kind of stuff I love about Insomniac Events. The people there are so amazing. This isn’t Coachella where someone is stealing a bunch of people’s stuff (though it does still happen). For the most part, I feel like people want to help other people out and are here to just have a good time.

While we got there pretty late Friday night because of both of us having to work before heading out, we were at Escape until close. DJ Snake was our final set and he totally killed it. We made up for lost time by staying a little in the venue as the crowds wandered out too. I think I finally made it to bed at 4:30am. Roomie’s first rave was a success.

Day two I took a different friend, and our goal was to get there as early as we could. Doors opened at 4pm and we made it by 5:30. Being there just as the sun was setting was pretty perfect. It definitely helped make for some awesome photos for my blog! I have so many awesome photos of headliners that I can’t wait to share. I’m so impressed by the creativity I always see, but especially at Halloween events!

The highlight though for me Saturday night was The Asylum. The Asylum is Insomniac’s haunted house at Escape. Initially, I wasn’t sure if I would want to do it. I’m a little bit of a chicken at times, but after talking to the people at the gate, and confirming no one can touch me, I was in. We signed a waiver and then got in line. The queue was a bit of a wait, but after going through, it was MORE than worth it.

You have to check your bags before going in, and then once inside the Wonderland Asylum, you get checked in. Turn in your papers and in your group of ten head to the first room with the ‘doctors’. Here you’re put into a straight jacket -- yes I’m serious and yes it was OK. They weren’t rough with you nor was it super tight once on. They try to scare you with the actors around but nothing was too much for me ever.

You continue your way through the ‘asylum’ and then you have to get your ‘meds’ from the nurse before another one puts a Hannibal mask on you. Now everyone looks the same and you need to keep tabs on your friends in your group of ten. Then pretty much you’re off. You and your group get to wander through the asylum. There are multiple stories and scenarios and one after another I was totally blown away by the production quality.

I shouldn’t be that shocked though because of the production quality of everything Insomniac does, but this was on another level. One of my favorite rooms, you walked through a hedge maze out into a foggy open area where you were greeted by a ticket booth. There the carnival owner gave you a ticket, and you turned to see a full carousel eerily looping around. I couldn’t believe the stuff I was seeing in there.

I wish I had done the asylum Friday night as well because it was epic and I would have loved to see it all over again. There’s always next year! Because honestly, I’m already ready go back.

Escape: Psycho Circus takes place October 27 - 28, 2017 at the NOS Events Center in San Bernadino, CA. This is the same location that Beyond Wonderland was held this year, for those who went. The space has a really beautiful lake when you walk in, then the stages are all covered and there is no grass beyond this lake area. I didn’t mind Beyond being there this year as it felt small and intimate and had no hills or anything. I do remember parking a little walk away but nothing too bad since it was walking city blocks and not a dusty hill. 

The event takes place the standard 4 PM - 2 AM, and the average temp this weekend in San Bernardino has highs of 81 and lows of 51, so you’ll want to make sure you prep for the temperature change if it does end up being that drastic.

They have lockers which are always such an easy solution to this problem. They’re only $35 for both days and splitting that among your group makes it dirt cheap. They all come with phone chargers now too, and are the perfect meeting spot at the end of the night should someone get lost. Buy one here.

As far as tickets go, the final tier of GA 2-day tickets is available at $219 + fees, but there’s still the first tier of GA single day tickets at $119 + fees. I love the option of having single day tickets because there’s always so much to do at Halloween I find it hard to commit to one event all weekend! You can buy your tickets here. For those ready to go all out on their rave weekend, there’s also VIP tickets.

VIP tickets are clutch because you get much more experience in your event. VIP is 21+ and has special entrances to the event. Personally I’m loving the bonuses they’re offering with VIP tickets for Escape because I’m a Halloween lover, so this would be the event I’d splurge on for VIP. I mean, a fortune teller and a trick-or-treat bar! UGH I JUST LOVE HALLOWEEN SO MUCH TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY. Buy your VIP experience here.

As far as stages go, Escape has four main stages: Slaughterhouse, Ghouls’ Graveyard, The Chopping Block and Cannibals’ Tea Party. As a reminder, all the stages are indoor. The lineup has a great mix of artists, and personally, I’m looking forward to Alan Walker and Tiesto among many others.

In true Insomniac style, there will also be art all over the grounds and spooky, scary Halloween themed performers. Escape also boasts The Asylum, a 32,000 square foot immersive theater. It has 30 distinct environments, 120 interactive performers, movie-quality set designs and special effects for a funhouse only Insomniac could pull off. It sounds pretty freaky. You can read more on it here… if you dare…

Since you’ll probably want to wear a Halloween look to the event, make sure to check out the below guidelines for costumes.

• NO drugs or drug paraphernalia
• NO SBPD, SBFD, authentic-looking law enforcement, fire dept. or security costumes
• NO handcuffs
• NO glass or ceramic masks

• Please remember that we are an inclusive community, and costumes/decorations should not misrepresent race, religion, or cultural heritage.
