We advise you to practice applying such make-up in advance so that preparing for the party does not take up much of your time.

Children's face painting

For the youngest guests of the Halloween masquerade, it is recommended to use face painting, i.e. harmless hypoallergenic paints for skin. Believe me, the child will enjoy this drawing process, and the transformation into a kitten itself will bring a lot of pleasure.

Applying a drawing to the face is not a difficult task, so even those adults who cannot call themselves artists can cope with it. This body art is done in several steps:

1. Above the child’s upper lip, use white paint to draw the base for a cat’s face.
2. Paint the tip of the nose with black paint.
3. We draw a thin strip from the nose down to the upper lip, and round off the lines around the white base. The result was cat cheeks.
4. We will draw dots and antennae on them.
5. The bridge of the nose can also be painted white.
6. Now we can draw the kitten’s face itself.
7. We draw the outlines of the ears above the eyebrows, draw a tongue on the lower lip, and highlight the fur and ears in black. By the way, you can choose any color of wool.

The color and shape of the muzzle is a matter of taste. It can be plain, striped or spotted.

At the same time, you need to take into account that the shade and texture you choose matches the suit as a whole. For example, if you chose leopard print, then a tiger stripe suit will not be the best option.

Below we have presented a selection of photos of face painting for children, which will help you choose the appropriate motive for the image of a cat for Halloween.

The final touch is a Halloween cat costume and accessories.

There can be several options for a catwoman costume, and all of them will look impressive and bright at any carnival. The following dress models are considered the most popular:

1. Catwoman a la Michelle Pfeiffer. Those who saw Tim Burton's film masterpiece "Batman Returns" probably remember Catwoman's seductive latex costume. To recreate this look, you'll need a black, fitted jumpsuit in a glossy fabric with a long zip at the front.

You can replace it with tight black pants and a turtleneck. Don't forget to sew white stripes all over the suit. A mask, black gloves (preferably with fake nails glued on top) and long heeled boots will complete the outfit.

2. Heroine Halle Berry. The image of Catwoman from the film of the same name differs in a couple of details: instead of a jumpsuit, she wears black tight-fitting trousers (you can replace them with leggings), a black latex bra with wide straps and long gloves. You need to tie two black belts around your waist, and put a black half mask on your head, which can be sewn from leather or black glossy fabric. Complete this look with long heeled boots and a whip.

3. An Anne Hathaway-inspired cat look from Black Knight Rises. For this one, you'll also need a black catsuit (or leggings and a turtleneck), heeled boots, gloves, a black leather belt and a masquerade mask.

A distinctive feature of this image is the cat ears, which can be made from two cardboard triangles, vinyl overlays and clips. A unique highlight will be a toy pistol, which will add brutality to the image.

Let's add that one of the popular options for a Halloween look is the hero of Carroll's book - the Cheshire Cat. The makeup of this image is distinguished by a peculiar “smile”.

If you don’t want to copy already famous movie characters, you can try to create your own version of this image. Don't be afraid to experiment with costumes, makeup and... accessories, which will be discussed later.

So, with accessories the matter is simple. They can be selected from the following list:

1. Lenses. If you have the opportunity, you can order “cat” lenses in the online store.
2. Tail. This attribute of a cat costume is quite popular. Making it yourself is quite possible. To do this, you will need black fabric, from which you will sew the tail. You can insert wire inside it to give the desired shape.
3. Ears. They can be made from cardboard, flexible plastic, vinyl or thick leather fabric. You can attach them in different ways, for example, on a hoop or on hair clips. One option is a cape with decorative ears.

Manicure. If you're not wearing black gloves, you can simply paint your nails black. Do you have short nails? No problem. Just stick on artificial tips. It is desirable that they are sharp and as long as possible.

Options hairstyles maybe several. You can put your hair in a ponytail or let it down, straightening it with a special hair straightener. If you have short hair, just style it neatly.

Follow the above recommendations, and your costume will stand out noticeably and brightly against the backdrop of the “evil spirits” outfits for Halloween. The image of a catwoman in itself is mystical and mysterious, so it will come in handy at a carnival party on All Saints' Day.

It’s quite easy to do makeup even at home! Make-up application technology will vary depending on whether you use a mask to create the look.

How to do cat makeup for Halloween?

Without using a mask

1. Apply foundation. The shade can be one that you use daily! If you want to disguise yourself, then choose a lighter tone. Some makeup artists believe that it is better to create an all-white gothic face using white powder.

2. Catwoman makeup excludes pink blush. But for a greater resemblance to a cat and the effect of sunken cheeks, shade your cheekbones with a dark beige or brown color.

3. The eyes must be highlighted especially carefully! The look of a catwoman should be bewitching and sly:

1. Apply light beige or pale pink shadows to the entire surface of the upper eyelid;

1. draw a thick black line on the crease of the upper eyelid with a pencil, and extend it to the tip of the upper eyebrow. Darken it slightly and blend it with dark shadows;

1. Apply white shadows to the entire moving eyelid, including the inner corner of the eye. Extend the white stripe to the end of the black arrow. Two contrasting lines - dark and light - will look very expressive and unusual;

1. apply light shadows to the upper part of the eyelid up to the eyebrows, slightly shading the upper border of the black line;

1. draw the eyes along the contour. Slightly lengthen the corners, giving the eyes an almond shape;

1. Apply black mascara in several layers. For greater effect, you can use false eyelashes.

4. Give your lips definition with a red liner. Lipstick can be blood red, cherry or pale pink. Apply glass effect gloss to the center of your lower lip.

5. Draw a mustache of the desired length with a black pencil.

6. Draw a triangle or circle at the tip of the nose. Use a charcoal or grayish pencil to color it.

Using a mask

In movies and magazine photos, catwomen use a mask for their appearance. An additional attribute adds color! In this case, it will take less time to prepare for the party, because the closed areas of the face will not have to be decorated!

The makeup technique is the same as in the first case. You should put on a mask before applying makeup. You need to pay attention only to that part of the face that is exposed.

First, apply a light foundation. Eyebrows are drawn with a pencil - black lines with a sharp break in the middle. Next, all stages of makeup are repeated as necessary on open areas of the face.

What else is needed for a successful cat image?

To complete your Halloween cat look, you need to consider a few more important details!

1. Cloth. Most often, black outfits are chosen. After all, it is the black cat that frightens people so much by crossing their path! The graceful animal has earned the fame of a mystical creature! Wear black fitted pants and a top. A black dress or skirt with a top is also quite suitable for a girl. A leather suit will look more impressive.

1. Shoes. Black shoes are perfect for a dark, fitted outfit.

1. Hairstyle. There is no need to visit the hairdresser, get curls and perms. A ponytail or braid will perfectly complement the look!

1. Ears and tail. You can buy them at a carnival costume store or make them yourself!

1. Manicure. Sharp, thin, black claws do not need to be extended specifically for one evening. It is unlikely that they will delight you and others in everyday life. An acceptable option is false nails, which will serve as an excellent addition to your look. Then you can throw them in the trash without regret!

A few final tips!

1. Buy special contact lenses that will change your eye color. Cat eyes are most suitable for the look. Bright green lenses will look original and bright.

1. Practice applying makeup a day or two before the intended party.

1. Let your imagination run wild! Why not transform into close relatives of cats - tigress, leopard, cheetah, lynx!

1. Don't forget that being a cat requires certain behavior! The body must be flexible. All movements are graceful, slightly daring. The look is cunning, bold, seductive!

Anastasia Skorekova Halloween 05/15/2018

Good day, my dears! Why choose a cat costume for Halloween instead of creepy zombies or vampires? The secret is the gracefulness and femininity of the image. Even on the most terrible holiday, it is important for a girl, a girl and a woman to remain attractive. The black cat is an elegant and mystical character in the Halloween format. Therefore, I will tell you how to make an outfit at home in several versions with your own hands.

Tips for making the base for a black cat costume

Whatever black cat costume you choose, understanding how to make interesting accessories will help you achieve the desired effect faster. Basic attributes of a cat for Halloween:

All these attributes are mandatory for both adults and children's costumes.

The contrasting color of the jabot, bow and cuffs look great on a black cat. They can be cut from faux fur, silk or velvet. Simply cut the collar and cuffs around the neck and wrist. It is interesting to diversify the costume with the help of a fur hood. The picture shows that the pattern is quite simple.

The cat's chest is white and openwork, fur or lace will become the main decoration of the costume. Think about what it will be like and feel free to decorate the outfit. Cat girls will look especially cute with bows on their chests. Sewing them is as easy as shelling pears from four paired parts in the form of triangle bags.

Gloves with claws, suitable for any of the cat looks, both for an adult girl and for very little ones, are made from elastic dark fabric, maybe with sparkles. Both short and long gloves with claws look equally impressive. Make claws from false plates coated with black varnish. Sharpen them sharper and glue them tightly to the gloves.

A cool attribute of a black cat's festive outfit is black boots. Tall boots lengthen your legs and complete your look. Before putting on your boots, polish them and, if possible, decorate them with fur inserts.

Catwoman costume based on Michelle Pfeiffer

The basis of the seductive cat's costume is a latex black catsuit. It would be great if you could buy a model with a zipper along the entire length. You can sew one like this at home from elastic fabric if you have at least a little experience in sewing.

However, if you don’t have a latex suit, it doesn’t matter. Replace it with regular black or skinny leggings and a matching turtleneck. This set of clothes can be found in every “kitty’s” home.

On the base of the suit, embroider stripes with white stitches. For convenience, draw the outlines with chalk or a bar of soap. Decorate the entire suit or individual parts with white stripes. If you don’t have time to embroider, draw stripes with toothpaste or paint.

A leather mask with ears is almost the main accessory of this costume. It's easy to do it yourself. Select a piece of leather (an old bag, seat cover, etc. will come in handy), decorate it with ears made of cardboard covered with leather. An even simpler option is a mask made from old black elastin sweatpants. Build a mask from the upper part of the trouser leg, make recesses for the eyes, nose, and attach the ears. To match the suit, decorate the mask with white stripes.

Cat in the style of Halle Berry

Try on the image of a fatal and seductive cat, make an outfit like Halle Berry's! For this you will need leather flared trousers and a tight top. Clothes made from fabrics with a moisture effect are suitable. Take the costume of the actress in the film as a model, paint the fabric of the trousers with curves, make slits corresponding to them. If it doesn’t turn out too neatly, don’t worry. The main thing is to achieve the effect of a recent meeting with a wild cat!

When choosing a top for a suit, remember that it should be quite open and, of course, black. In such a revealing suit, slender girls with flat tummies will look especially bright and stylish. If you don't want to be naked, try replacing the open top and trousers with a jumpsuit with belts with slits.

In addition, if you are going to make a cat costume exactly like Halle Berry’s, then you cannot do without a cross-shaped arrangement of belts at the waist. They will need to combine the bottom with the top. Belts must be black or any other dark color.

In this case, the headdress can also be made with your own hands. Sew a mask from any elastic black fabric, this time without stripes, but also with slits for the eyes and ears.

Complete the look with black shoes, preferably with a small comfortable heel, a whip and gloves. All accessories must be made of black leather or substitute. If you can’t find a whip, you can paint a regular children’s jump rope black to match it.

Anne Hathaway Catwoman Costume

Do you have a black elastic jumpsuit at home? Great, it will be perfect for Anne Hathaway's Catwoman costume. If this is not the case, replace it with leggings and a tight-fitting top. The effect will be almost the same. Be sure to tie a thick belt around your waist, imitating the real cat belt from the film.

Make a mask or cat ears in such a way that the hair is not covered. The mask is easy to make from black felt. To do this, cut out a mask using a pre-prepared paper template and secure it with an elastic band at the top and bottom. Cut the cat ears into triangles, glue vinyl inserts on them and secure them with a clip on the hat mask. The sexy cat costume for Halloween is ready!

Children's Halloween outfit

A cat costume for a girl's party can be cute, cute and a little scary, but without a hint of sexuality. That is, no open necklines, high heels and slits on tight leggings. Another thing is a fluffy tulle skirt, a narrow top with long sleeves, ears and a tail. By the way, they are easy to make at home.

The tail, for example, is made from faux fur from an old coat or a children's toy.

A tail made of toilet paper or disposable towels. The paper is carefully compacted into nylon golf or part of tights, sewn up and masked with thread or fur.

Ears are easy to make on a hoop. To do this, cut out 2 cardboard pieces of the required size, drape them with felt, fur, satin and secure them to the hoop with glue, thread, and wire.

Making a skirt for a cat costume is even easier.

1. Buy black tulle and cut it into even strips of the same length.
2. Using a wide elastic band, construct a skirt by tying prepared strips onto an improvised belt. A fluffy black “tutu” will make a black cat costume bright, beautiful and cute, especially in combination with ears, a tail and gloves.

By the way, knitted hats with ears have come into fashion recently. This model of the desired color can easily replace homemade ears and a mask.

Don't forget about makeup. Use face painting for girls and professional cosmetics for adults.
