How to DIY Halloween Costumes on a Budget
A great way to save on Halloween is to make the most out of everyday items. Use these tips to easily pull together DIY costumes on a budget.
Find the right wig
Hair is half the battle of nailing a costume. An accurate wig can transform clothes you already have to look like your favorite celebrity or character.
Disguise yourself with temporary ink
Face and body art will take your costume to a ten! Use temporary tattoos to get the look of swashbuckling scars, mermaid scales, or haunted doll stitches.

Get creative with makeup
Eye-popping shadows, pigmented lipsticks, and colorful false lashes are your secret weapon to making a costume look complete. We like BH Cosmetics for their unique color selection and bright payoff.

Sharing is (S)caring this Halloween
Giving Assistant combines shopping with charitable giving to help everyone make the (under)world a little better every day.
Here’s how it works: merchants pay us in appreciation for sending you their way, and we pass a portion of that commission onto you as cash back. You can then keep or pay that cash back forward to a nonprofit you care about. You can make all of this happen automatically when you download and shop with our free browser extension, the Giving Assistant Button.
We partner with nonprofits big and small, so it’s easy to support the causes close to your heart. Consider choosing one of these nonprofits to support this October.
