Although skull masks are your easiest option, here are our top three ways to become a skeleton.
Why did the skeleton go to the party alone? He had no body to go with him.
Why did the skeleton leave the party early? He had no body to dance with.
Ba dum tss!
Being a party skeleton is so much fun. And it’s not hard to become one (complete with bad jokes you can try out on unsuspecting guests).
Of course, we don't mean becoming a skeleton in the traditional rotting corpse kind of way—that would be icky and not so much fun.
Become a living, breathing corpse with our skeleton costumes. They’re a tad slinky and revealing (warning: people will see your bones) but hugely popular due to how much fun you can have in them. Whether it’s for Halloween or any other excuse to dress up and party, skeleton costumes are far from dead.
Still, there is one thing that ruins a skeleton costume, and that’s having a human face! Yes, yes, you can’t help that part—but we can help you hide it. Here’s how.
The top 3 ways to become a full skeleton
1. Skeleton masks
Covering your human face is super easy if you’re willing to wear a mask. All it takes is popping on your skeleton costume, then squeezing your noggin into a mask to hide your face. Here are some of our fun mask options:
A skull mask will help you look like a real skeleton from top to toe.
The Joker Dark Knight mask is sure to add an element of freaky with black eyes and smudged red lips.
Day of the Dead masks offer the traditional skeleton look with added glamour and beauty.
An evil clown mask will totally scare the life out of people (clowns are scary enough without being evil looking skeletons).
If you’re looking for easy peasy, our skeleton morphsuits are just what you need. Not only are they breathable, but you can drink through them which makes them the perfect party costume. You can choose from our range of skeleton morphsuits; or to have a bit of fun, get a black morphsuit and paint your bones to make some of them look broken.
Here are the morphsuits that will turn you into a skeleton:
If you’re claustrophobic or just don’t like the thought of squeezing your head into a mask for hours on end (you’ll be a bit sweaty, that’s for sure), you should consider face paint or tattoos.
Before you jump into the chair for something permanent, try our skull face tattoo transfer. It’s so easy to do, and you’ll perfect the look in next to no time (also, it’ll wash off, so it’s not forever). Or, perhaps Rick Genest (aka Zombie Boy) is your idol, and you want to be just like him (seriously—check out his skeleton tattooed face).
The other option is to paint your face. Go on; pretend you’re a kid again and try it. Our skeleton liquid makeup kit comes with everything you need to create the dead look (we even have neon colours for something a little bit different). And if you need some help, you’ll find loads of videos on YouTube, like this five-minute skeleton face painting tutorial.
What skeletons will you have in your closet?
Whether you opt for the easy or the more creative options, the choice is yours. Just remember the one rule of skeleton costumes: Human heads are NOT allowed, ever. No exceptions!
