Edward Cullen from Twilight Halloween Costume Ideas

Dressing up as Edward Cullen is a great Halloween costume idea for guys. With the second Twilight movie, New Moon, scheduled to be released in November, Halloween is a great time to choose Edward Cullen as your Halloween costume.

Edward Cullen is not the normal cape wearing, big fanged vampire that you normally see in the movies. So get that image out of your head. Edward Cullen has pale marble like skin, golden eyes with dark circles under them, and of course we can't forget that his skin sparkles in the sunlight. Below are some tips and ideas to help you create your Edward Cullen Halloween costume.

Face
In order to look like Edward Cullen, you need to make your face pale and sparkly. To achieve the sparkly look, use some glitter. You can buy body glitter, lotion, or spray. By putting the glitter on first, it will mix with the powders used in the next step. Using a makeup sponge, put a light layer of baby powder on your face. Then use a light colored face powder on top of the baby powder.

Eyes
The eyes are an important part of the Edward Cullen Halloween costume. To achieve Edward Cullen's eye color you can use the colored contacts available here. Edward Cullen has dark circles under his eyes. For this you can dust on a little bit of dark brown or black eye shadow. You can also add a small line of eyeliner to give the eye a bot more definition.

Hair
Edward had bronze colored, messy hair. Use hair gel to spike up your hair and give it the messy look. You can buy the colored hair spray to achieve the bronze look in department stores, or you can order it online here.

Clothes
Edward Cullen wore jeans and tight fitting black or gray shirts. He also wore a dark gray trench coat. Any of these items will work perfectly for your Edward Cullen Halloween costume.

Finishing Touches
To put the final finishing touches on your Halloween costume, use the glitter on your arms and hands. You will also want to add some red lipstick or lip gloss to your lips. Take a tissue or paper towel and wipe the excess color off of your lips. This will give them a red color without looking like you are wearing lipstick.

If you are going to a party with a date, have them dress up as Edward Cullen's girlfriend, Bella Swan. This is a great way to complete your Edward Cullen Halloween costume.
