Steps:
1. Add artistic tears to your costume. When placed correctly, rips in dark clothing can make your costume edgier and more intense.
2. Darken your hair. Those with light hair should consider using a black spray to darken their hair for the big night. Avoid dying it black, because once you dye light hair black it is very difficult to get rid of.
3. Paint your face white with powder or face paint. It should be fully white or as close to it as possible. If you have dark skin, only add a slight tint of light gray, just to give you that "just died" look. Don't forget a bit over your eyelids as well. Even if you plan on wearing a dark eyeshadow later, this works as a sort of primer for the shadow to adhere to.
4. Wear deep, blood red, gray, brown, or black lipstick and black nail polish. This gives off a Gothic vibe. You can purchase these at thrift or Halloween stores.
5. Consider wearing vampire fangs. Inexpensive fangs don't look great, but they can be had for as little as a dollar. More expensive fangs can look very realistic and can be bought for about ten or fifteen dollars. This isn't necessary unless you want to add a vampire vibe as well.
6. Wear appropriate shoes. The exact shoes you wear will depend on what you plan on doing for Halloween and what your costume is, but a few good ideas include combat boots; chunky, high heeled boots; stilettos; and any other sexy or dark style of shoe.
7. Apply dark eyeshadow and mascara. You could even consider long, black fake eyelashes. Men should skip this step, but could try a bit of black eyelashes for the elegant vampire look.
8. Wear plenty of dark jewelry. Have fun with it. Try lots of dark dangling necklaces, or large, chandelier earrings. Experiment to find the best look for your costume. Men should stick to many, chunky rings, and perhaps a few necklaces.
