Halloween is not canceled. I refuse to believe it! Recent global events have called for imposed limitations on the Halloween festivities, but that doesn’t mean you can’t dress up and look your absolute spookiest this year. 

Whether it’s for yourself at home, an intimate socially distanced gathering, or even just a solo walk around your neighborhood (if you’re bold enough), here are some looks that will put you directly in the eye of the Halloween spirit. 

Carli Bybel – Coco Bandicoot Halloween Tutorial 

A new twist on a long-time favorite, this look is sure to bring back childhood memories without being too over the top. This easy look can be put together using any fluorescent eyeshadow. It’s inspired by the release of Crash Bandicoot 4, the newest installment to the video game series. 

You can pair it with a pair of trendy jeans overalls and a plain white shirt. Bonus points if you can score a fluorescent pink purse!
