Ever since our daughter was little I loved putting costumes together by starting with a simple black or white dress because she used to have sensory issues. She is now passed that but the simple dress has remained even though last year we didn’t use one for the forest fairy costume. We have used the simple dress however for the sad clown costume, day of the dead costume, queen of hearts costume and maleficent costume. And we are using a simple black dress again for this dark angel Halloween costume.

Dark Angel Halloween Costume

When I was young, I loved the TV show Dark Angel with Jessica Alba and this is just my own take on what I think a dark angel should look like. I guess you could call it “Raven Girl” too or whatever else comes to your mind when you look at it. To me, Halloween is about letting your imagination run wild and dressing up in something that you usually can’t or wouldn’t.

Supplies needed for the dark angel costume

  • dark angel wings (HERE)
  • feather shawl which hides the wing straps (HERE)
  • simple black dress (kids HERE and adults HERE but you can, of course, go a sexy route for women with a short mini dress or leather pants like Jessica Alba sported for her show)
  • wig (if you don’t have the desired hair, I have this one HERE and love it)
  • makeup brushes (HERE)
  • mascara (HERE)
  • makeup: pore filler (HERE, not a must but I love it), pale foundation (HERE), HD finishing powder (HERE), black eyeshadow (my favorite HERE), and various red eyeshadows (I used this cheap palette HERE called “red alert”), very fine black eyeliner for veins (HERE) or a temporary vein tattoo HERE, blending sponges HERE

Instructions

To see the process I made another video because it’s easier to show you that way than taking separate photos along the way. If the video doesn’t work, you can click HERE to see it on my YouTube channel.
{spoiler alert: Walter is making an appearance too}

Dark Angel Makeup

  1. Start by applying the pore filler on your face
  2. Evenly apply the pale makeup
  3. You can lightly dust the face with the HD finishing powder now or after the eyeshadow. In this case, I applied it before the red eyeshadow because I didn’t want to take away the sheen of it
  4. Add various shades of red to the eyes and mouth
  5. Contour the temples, jaw, cheeks, and nose with the black eyeshadow
  6. Create a smokey eye with the mat black eyeshadow and also add some black to the center of the lips
  7. Then it’s time for some pretty thin eyeliner and mascara
  8. Lastly, I added veins to the eyes and lips but you don’t have to do this extra step. We just liked them and thought they added to the look.

Make sure you watch the video to get an idea of the process.

It’s a pretty simple costume that looks unique and can be altered in many different ways.

Like I said above, for the adult version you could wear a short black dress or leather pants and a cute top. A black wig and this crown HERE would look cool too but it’s a little pricey. Or this crown HERE or  HERE for only $9. The nice thing is that my daughter and I can wear our simple black dress throughout the year too and not just for Halloween

    i seriously think you need an entire website with costume tutorials and makeup, or you need to go work in costume design.
