Silver Halloween costume ideas with glitter spray
Published
Silver is one of the easiest shades to build a Halloween costume around. A few seconds of glitter spray on your hair, body or clothes turns a plain outfit into a look.
10 silver Halloween looks
Tin Man costume
Grey or silver clothes, or an all-silver costume. Build up your hair in two layers, then give your arms and the backs of your hands a mist so the silver runs from your hair to your sleeves. A funnel hat finishes it.
Ice queen costume
A white or pale blue dress, with silver in your hair. Layer the spray along the part in your hair, then mist your shoulders and collarbone. Add a cape or a crown.
Silver witch costume
All black, with silver at the edges. Lay the hat and cape flat, spray the brim and the hem, and let them dry before you put them on. Then layer the ends of your hair so the silver catches the light as you move.
Ghost costume
A white sheet or a white outfit. Lay the sheet flat, give it a light mist and let it dry before you put it on. If your hair shows, mist that too.
Disco ball costume
A silver or black top and silver hair. Layer your hair, then mist the top. Made for the dance floor.
Robot costume
A silver or grey outfit with a cardboard box or chest panel. Layer your hair, then spray your arms and the backs of your hands so the silver carries all the way down.
Skeleton costume
A black outfit with a white bone print. Mist the whole outfit and your hair so the look sparkles under party lights.
Alien or astronaut costume
An all-silver outfit for an alien, or a white jumpsuit for an astronaut. Layer your hair, then mist your shoulders and arms.
Fairy or angel costume
A white or pale dress with wings. Lay the wings flat, spray them and let them dry, then give your hair and shoulders a light layer.
Space cowgirl costume
A white or silver outfit and a cowboy hat. Take the hat off, mist the brim and let it dry, then layer your hair.
How to spray it, for every look
- Give the can a good shake. The rattle is the mixing bead, keeping the glitter evenly spread.
- Hold it 20-30 cm (8-12 in) from your hair, body or clothes.
- A light mist gives a subtle shine; layer it for more intense sparkle.
- Allow about a minute to dry, and you're ready to go. It stays all night.
Afterwards, rinse it out of your hair and off your skin with shampoo or hand wash.
Safety
- The spray is flammable: use it away from candles, sparklers and open flames.
- Keep it away from your eyes, and do not use it on broken skin.
- For ages 16 and over.
