Lolita Style For Halloween - Cute Or Spoof?
The sense of ceremony for Halloween? (Why do we dress up for Halloween)
Believe it or not, Halloween is actually a combination of many old holidays that originated in Europe. The oldest of European civilizations which grew very quickly was during the Roman Empire and happened to be very savvy about allowing many Pagan celebrations to be practiced. This included Pomona Day and was largely a day that celebrates the Goddess of Pomona.
The practice of wearing costumes and holding lanterns with faces on them was typical for the Celtic celebration called Samhain likewise. These two ancient festival holidays were merged and thus began to combine further as time went on. Ghosts and spirits were always part of Samhain, and this is why the Celtic people dressed up in costumes to avoid being bothered by bad spirits that might be out to visit the living.
When Christianity was introduced to the Celtics, a compromise for celebrating Samhain was created by introducing All Hallows Eve. This later turned into HallowWeen and mixed elements of Guy Fawkes Day as well which included wearing masks and asking strangers for money or treats. This is why trick or treating is also part of Halloween.
It's no wonder that Halloween includes so many elements that make this single night so chillingly fun! We dress in costumes these days as ghosts and monsters and of course witches and tricksters who play games, feast on treats, and often pull pranks while trick or treating throughout the night.

Recommendations for Halloween Makeup
Dressing the part is one thing but makeup is always better than wearing a rubber mask. You want to choose makeup that is skin-friendly and long-lasting. Just like all of your Halloween treats, don't share your makeup with others since the scariest thought is spooky germs you might catch. A good recommendation is to buy makeup kits that give you a variety of colors to work with and an additional set of portable makeup brushes and sponges for last-minute touch-ups throughout the night.
In conclusion...
You can be anything you want to be on Halloween but being irresponsible is always a scary thought. Don't take candy from strangers and certainly be careful of what you drink. Halloween dress-up is the one time of the year when you can step outside your everyday clothes and be something or someone you never dared to look like.
These clothing and accessory match suggestions are certainly comfortable for everyday use which you might find can be a whole new style for cosplay, and special occasions outside of Halloween too!
