DIY Vampire Makeup Tutorial for Halloween!

Halloween is almost here, and we've been in full swing of matching our pretty dresses with accessories for a classy (and classic) Halloween look. Just a few days ago, we showed you how you can so easily create a sexy witch or vampire look with a little black dress. Today, we're here to show you how to finish off that look with makeup! Roo Girl Stephanie went to work to show you how you can easily create a perfect sultry look with makeup...it's all about that deep, dark eyeshadow! Check out her video below. All you'll need to do is add the fangs!

Even though LBDs are an easy and affordable way to get the perfect vampire dress, designers lately have been all about lace and darker colors for Fall 2103. So, it's made for so many great dresses that are so perfect to be used for a vamp costume, and Stephanie shows off one of our favorites at the end of the video: Sherri Hill style 21156. The combination of the fitted corset-like bodice, elegant black jewels, black lace, and deep red color on this dress screams to be paired with fangs and just the right amount of blood for a super classy and sexy vamp look! It also comes in a black color that's great for being a vampire, too.

The Great Gatsby Inspired Look for Halloween

The Great Gatsby may have been in theaters earlier this Summer, but we're still obsessing over all of the stunning fashion in the movie. We simply can't get all of the glitz and glam out of our heads (not to mention Leonardo DiCaprio)! Well, with Halloween here, is there a better time to show off your own glitz and glam? We didn't think so! So, we thought it would be fun to show you how you can rock this Summer's hit movie for All Hallow's Eve.

To get the look, we paired one of our sparkly fringe dresses with a chic feather headpiece, a feather boa, and a long strand of pearls. You can also add in dress glove for an extra touch of glam (and warmth!). The dress is Hannah S. style 27696, a strapless slim sheath cocktail dress with all over sequins and a beaded fringe skirt.

Remember to complete the look with super glitzy jewelry! We especially love Helen's Heart style JE-4601-10 Clear Silver Earrings and Helen's Heart JB-PD00339 Black Diamond Bracelet to add some bling to your outfit.

This will definitely give you a costume even Daisy Buchanan would envy!

Get Bewitched and Vamped Up for Halloween!

Halloween is only two weeks away, so if you haven't started putting your costume together yet, it is definitely time. Two costumes that are always classic and dependable choices are a witch and vampire! There's many ways you can put a witch or vampire costume together, but one way that we love is to pair a hat and broom or vampire teeth with a sexy little black cocktail dress. You'll have such a classy costume, and a dress that you can wear time and time again! So check out two of our favorite little black dresses below to get a classy witch or vampire look.

Dave & Johnny style 8580 is a stunning beaded tulle dress that has such a unique look to it. The beautiful beaded detailing makes it such a classy choice, while the sheer fabric around the bodice and back gives it a sexy look. It's a perfect choice for Prom and Homecoming, but you can also get another use out of it on Halloween!

Get lace, black, and purple galore in Sticks & Stones by Mori Lee style 9185! It's a lace over sequins cocktail dress with long lace sleeves and an open back that will be sure to have you in the Halloween mood. It's a great dress for night out with friends, whether that's on Halloween or any other time of the year.

Whether red lips and sharp teeth or a fancy hat and broom, just make sure to pick out the right accessories to match your LBD. Just remember, the accessories are the easy part, so make sure to take the proper time to find that perfect LBD.

Halloween DIY's!

There's nothing better than a little arts and crafts to bring in the fall season! With Halloween right around the corner, why not make your own festive and decorative items? The girls here at Rissy Roo's love a good Halloween DIY as much as the next ghost, goblin or ghoul in the room! We searched Pinterest and found our favorite Halloween "Do It Yourself" projects to share with you!

Lollipop Ghosts- Dress up some tootsie pops and create some cute little ghosts! Wrap a small piece of white cloth around the top of your favorite lollipop, to keep the cloth in place tie orange and black ribbons right underneath the lollipop and use a black Sharpie to color in the black eyes on the ghost lollipop!

Trick or Treat Tin- With your parents assistance, poke holes in a tin can and write out your favorite Halloween saying. Once you're finished, paint the can with spooky black paint to make the light really shine through once you add the lit candle!

Healthy Halloween Treats- What an adorable treat! Take the skin off of some Clementine oranges and add a small piece of celery to the top to get the "pumpkin look." Then, slice a few bananas in half and use chocolate chips to give your banana ghosts eyes and a mouth!

Eye-Spy Picture Frame- Use glue and a pack of different sized googly eyes to make a simple picture frame for all of your Halloween memories!

Accessorizing Your Formal Dress for Halloween

Halloween is a great excuse for you to go over the top. But why buy a costume when you can use an outfit from your closet...or get those clothes you've been wanting? Just by adding a few accessories to your favorite dress, you can instantly be part of the Halloween spirit and have the dress to wear again any time of the year (without the Halloween accessories of course)! Read on to see how we added some accessories to some classic formal dresses to make them ready for Halloween!

Little Black Dress

You can get great use out of any black dress. This Clarisse black one shoulder hi-lo dress is one of our personal favorites (style 2174). Just add kitty ears, a witch hat, or vampire teeth, and you're all ready for Halloween! The real bonus, though, is that a Little Black Dress can be used for so many different occasions that you'll never run out of places and reasons to wear it.

Fringe Dress

The fringe dress has been a very popular style lately. The look is taken from the 1920s flapper style, so with this in mind, this type of dress is great to turn into a flapper girl outfit! This black Mac Duggal fringe cocktail dress (style 3479T) and Touch Ups Peacock high heals are perfect to be a flapper girl.

Dress: Twelve by Mac Duggal 3479T

White Dress

White formal dresses are always stand-out pieces at any event. For Halloween, just add wings and you can be a beautiful angel! One of our favorite white dresses is the Mac Duggal style 6383N, which has a beautiful fully sequined top and layered ruffles of chiffon on the skirt. The Sizzle by Coloriffics Inez high heals are a great way to add some extra glitter to the outfit!

Red Dress

Red dresses are always a sexy choice. And for Halloween, where there's a white dress for an angel, there must also be a red dress for the devil. Turn this La Femme 18110 cocktail dress into a devil by adding horns and a tail.

Dress: La Femme 18110

Purse: Helen's Heart Style FP-7051

Pink is always a cute color to go with in a formal dress, especially if you love the classic princess look. And, all of us girls love feeling like princesses when we dress up, right? With this sparkly number from Sherri Hill (style 2308), actually become a princess for Halloween by adding a crown! Or, for another cute look, you can add bunny ears.
