Halloween at Syracuse is no joke. Many of you have had your costumes picked out for weeks, even months. But for those of you who have done next-to-nothing to prepare for this weekend, here is some Instagram inspiration to make this your spookiest Halloween yet.
Makeup
Fawn
Fawn makeup has been all over Instagram this year. It is a great alternative to being the dreaded unoriginal black cat and it isn’t that hard to do with the makeup you already have. Find a tutorial here.
Cat
If you have to be a cat, put a little more effort in with this makeup tutorial. No one can call you unoriginal now.
Mime
Feeling like going a little creepier than a kitty or a cute baby deer? This mime is just scary enough to be creepy but won’t discourage anyone from approaching you at the bar.
Bloody nails
These nails are perfect to add a little scary spice to any costume. Paint them now to be festive for the entire week.
Costumes
The Joker
Terrifying, easy, comfortable and unisex. What more could you want out of a costume?
Starbucks
The Starbucks cup is a bit of an oldie-but-goodie. It’s a standby for when you just have nothing else to wear on that third night of halloweekend. Spice it up a bit by wearing orange to be a PSL or a white fluffy hat on top of pink clothes to be a Strawberries & Crème Frappuccino.
Bob’s Burgers
This TV show is sure to be a classic for the millennial generation. Dress up as Tina and groan about butts all night long. If you’ve got her accent down, Linda Belcher is a surefire way to get laughs at any party.
Charlie Chaplin
Feeling dapper? Slap on some black clothes with a tie, a hat and a mustache and you are this comedic legend from the era of silent film.
Crazy Cat Lady
Have you been begging your roommates to let you get a cat since the turn of the century? Do you Instagram pics of your cats at home on a weekly basis? You are a crazy cat lady, start dressing like one.
Cotton Candy
If you love pastels and poofy-ness, this is the costume for you. If you’re a hungry, pastel-loving drunk, just paste cotton candy all over your body for snacks throughout the night.
Mrs. George
Can I get you guys anything? Some snacks? A condom? Let me know. Oh, God love ya.
Pop Art
Throwing it back to Roy Lichtenstein’s 1960s, these pop art costumes will no doubt win you that costume contest.
Food
And now, halloween food porn. If you plan on hosting a Halloween pregame and you don’t prepare spooky snacks, did you really even try?
