Adding a mask to a Halloween costume can really spice up your character. You can do this by purchasing a mask separately or you may prefer to buy a Halloween costume that incorporates a mask. Heath Ledger’s Joker costume comes with a great-looking mask.
Choosing the type of mask and costume really comes down to your own personal choice and preference. This is very true when it comes to buying a costume with a mask for children. Some children will love having their faces covered while others may not like the feeling that wearing a mask gives. Also remember that while wearing a mask your face can become extremely warm and itchy. This can make the mask feel very uncomfortable in a relatively short time frame.
One thing to note with Halloween Masks is that they do not always have to cover your entire face. If you look at outfits for exotic dancers, brides, bridesmaids, or of the female characters from Aladdin, the mask is more of a veil. This can be less restrictive and much more comfortable to wear.
Superhero characters are always popular and this year you can choose from Batman costumes, Alien costumes, Spiderman, and Star Wars costumes. You can help your child choose an appropriate costume by looking at the types of masks that these outfits come with. Unfortunately, there are no masks for most of the sexy Star Wars female cosplay costumes.
There are many scary costumes that come with a mask. Good examples of these include Frankenstein, Rotting Corpses, and Pumpkin Head outfits. In addition to scary masks, there are those that are funny and goofy. As well popular characters like the Grinch, Batman, Shrek, and Spiderman have masks that you can purchase.
Buying a Halloween costume with a mask can be slightly more expensive. If you want to be a little different this year you can buy a plainer mask and then dress it up. You could do this by adding hair, funky glasses, or painting red bloody cuts onto it.
Kids love costumes and some great suggestions for kids Halloween costumes with masks include clown outfits, space creatures and punk masks. A lot of these masks are actually known as half cap masks because they don’t cover the entire face. This allows your child to add a punky hairstyle to their costume for impact.
Ninja costumes are another favorite with kids. They come with an easy-to-wear mask and there are lots of variations of Ninja costumes to choose from.
If you and your child have decided that a costume with a mask this year is a good idea take them with you when you go shopping. Allow your child to place the mask on their face and make sure they are comfortable with the style. They may just change their minds once they have tried on the mask. If your child prefers they can wear a half mask or one that just covers the eyes as with a Zorro costume.
Choosing the best Halloween costume with a mask is really going to come down to a matter of personal preference. Actually wearing the mask for a few minutes can be helpful in deciding if this is really a mask you or your child would want to wear for a longer period of time. Once you have decided on this year’s characters don’t forget to check online for some great Halloween shopping bargains and specials.
