DIY Morticia Addams Halloween costume
1. Contour your cheekbones
Let’s start with Morticia Addams' Halloween Costume first! We’ll do the iconic Morticia Addams makeup and then move on to her outfit. To begin, contour your cheekbones pretty heavily.
2. Highlight your cheekbones
Next, apply a white highlight right on top of your cheekbones.
3. Apply eyeshadow to your brow bone
Apply a frosty white eyeshadow underneath your eyebrow and right on the brow bone pretty heavily.
4. Apply eyeshadow to your inner eyelid
Then, apply silver eyeshadow on the inner part of your eyelid.
5. Create a smokey eye
Next, grab a black eyeshadow. You preferably want to use one that’s not too pigmented. Use it to make a big, winged-out smokey eye.
6. Line your lash lines
Apply a little bit of eyeliner to the top and bottom lash lines.
7. Apply mascara
Top it off with a little bit of mascara.
8. Apply lip liner and lipstick
For the iconic Morticia Addams red lip, you want to line them first with a red lip liner before filling them in with red lipstick. That’s it for Morticia Addams’ makeup look.
9. Style the costume
Moving on to the outfit. You can get away with pretty much any floor-length dress. I had one without sleeves so I put a little bolero on top to make it look more like a Morticia Addams’ outfit. Very easy!
DIY Wednesday Addams costume
1. Make two braids
For Wednesday Addams, we’re going to start with the hair, and all you need to do is part down the middle and make two little braids on the side of your head. The key to nailing the look is to make them start really high, so right behind your ear, and try to braid pretty tightly.
2. Draw a widow’s peak
Next, draw on a widow’s peak on your forehead using eyeshadow in the color of your hair. Don’t forget to leave the parting in the middle when you’re drawing this on.
3. Pull on the front sides
Pull at the sides a little bit to mimic her own hairstyle and that’s it for the hair. Let’s move on to the makeup.
4. Straighten eyebrows
For the Wednesday Addams makeup, you want to keep it really simple since this is a child you’re portraying. If your eyebrows are angled like mine, straighten them out since Wednesday as straight and full eyebrows.
5. Apply eyeshadow
Then, go in with a grayish, taupe-ish eyeshadow and apply it all over the eyelid and up to the eyebrow to make it look like a shadow is falling on your eyelid.
6. Apply lipstick
Apply just a little bit of lipstick to the inner parts of your lips and that’s it for the makeup!
7. Style the costume
To nail the Wednesday Addams outfit, all you need to do is wear a white blouse with a black dress over it, preferably one with a high neckline. If you don’t have it, just make do with what you have. It is a last-minute costume after all.
