Halloween

Posted | 0 comments

Halloween or Hallowe’en also known as All Hallows’ Eve, is an annual celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows (or All Saints). Halloween costumes are traditionally modeled after supernatural figures such as monsters, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils. Over time, the costume selection extended to include popular characters from fiction, celebrities, and generic archetypes such as ninjas and princesses. Trick-or-treating is a customary celebration for children on Halloween. Children go in costume from house to house, asking for treats such as candy or sometimes money, with the question, “Trick or treat?” The word “trick” refers to a (mostly idle!!) threat to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given.

Over the years, Halloween has gained popularity in India and a lot of urban dwellers have Halloween parties where guests are supposed to come in appropriate costume and make up. While it is great fun to dress up and use make up which will scare the lives out of others (refer to the attached photo if you are running out of ideas!), do remember the standard skincare rules before painting your face. Try to use natural colours as far as possible since strong chemicals can damage your skin. And of course, cleanse the make up as soon as you get home.

Happy a happy Halloween 🙂
