Classic Costume Idea: Red Devil

Make a deal in the evillest way possible in this sassy red devil costume, DIY style!

First step is to make sure that you wear some red throughout the entire costume. My ensemble features a red long sleeve shirt, burgundy colored jeans for a bit of contrast, and a pair of red skip-pies.

In terms of accessories, what a devil costume would be like without its iconic pointy tail? Also, I added a nice little bow to give it some cuteness to this evil ensemble.

As far as this costume goes, make-up will definitely transform you completely into a devil, and there are a lot of ways to create devil make-up. Here's how I did mine:

1) I began with a layer of red all over the face, leaving enough space around the eyes to fill with black.

2) Next, I used some black to outline a few areas, as well as fill in part of the eyes.

3) I also added a bit of black eye shadow to bring out some depth.

4) I added more black shadow, and also painted my lips.

5) Finally, I added some white face paint to a few areas and smudged them in a little bit to create some highlights.

To complete the costume, I added a red "Devil Diva" wig, and, of course, those iconic horns.

The only thing that's missing from this ensemble is a pitchfork, but that's not necessary. What's important, though, is that you are now ready to bring out the evil forces in you! What a way to make a deal with the devil!
