No need to stress over the Halloween holiday. We’ve got budget-friendly options to help you look fabulously festive at all your fall functions. Get long, luscious layers with Raquel Welch’s™ styleable Scene Stealer wig in a gorgeous golden blonde and you’ll have four different costume options for your Halloween events!
For a kid-friendly costume, visit the local second-hand store and look for the fluffiest, frilliest wedding dress you can find. Turn it a pale pink with dye you can get from your local craft store and while you’re out-and-about pick up a pretty pink tiara and pink magic wand. Use a curling iron on low heat to add bouncy curls to Scene Stealer and all the little ghouls and goblins are sure to recognize you as Glenda the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz.
A harvest-themed dinner party calls for a classy and comfortable look, so keep the voluminous curls in Scene Stealer that you created for your Glenda the Good Witch costume (above). To become Venus, the golden goddess of love, you’ll need an old white sheet and golden ribbon from the craft store. Fold the sheet in half and cut a hole out of the middle of the fold for your head. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your neckline. Then simply slip it over your head and use the ribbon to accentuate your figure by making a golden belt with it. The ribbon can also be used to cinch the edge of your sleeve to your neckline creating a flattering shoulder pleat. Make sure that you wrap the sides of your toga so that they overlap each other (after all, you’re not going as an exhibitionist). If necessary, secure the toga with safety pins, fabric glue or tape. If you really want to shine in all your golden glory, try to find metallic golden lipstick, gold jewelry and gold sandals to complete the look.
Need something casual and conservative for a office costume party that is sure to get you all the right kind of attention? The iconic Farrah Fawcett is the perfect choice. Use a curling iron on low heat to feather the face-framing layers on Scene Stealer and add loose waves for volume. Then simply tuck a flattering red blouse into some high-waisted, wide-leg jeans or slacks (that’s right, they’re back in style) from your own closet. Pair with some comfy wedges and you’re good to go. If you don’t already have these items you’re sure to find them at a local thrift store.

Finally, you’re sure to need a night to let loose and who better to be your alter-ego than the ultimate party girl, Ke$ha? Put together a sexy black outfit with layer upon layer of sparkly jewelry. Use glittery and metallic make-up to accentuate a going out smoky-eye look, but it’s your hair that will complete the costume. Comb the curls out from your Glenda and Golden Goddess costume to achieve a messy crimped look. Then use Put On Pieces® (POP) clip-in strips in crazy colors and prints. To achieve our Ke$ha look we used the POP Color Blends in Purple/Blonde, Pink/Blonde and Blue/Black and the POP Animal Prints in Ginger Tiger, White Tiger and Red Tiger. Other Raquel Welch™ styles that can also be used for these costumes are the styleable wigs Limelight, Legend, Spotlight, Leading Lady and Show Stopper. |
