Want to find unique Hannah Montana Halloween costumes but can’t afford the time and effort it takes to make one from scratch? Well there is a solution.

Face it, we mothers are busy - between taking care of our families, cooking, cleaning, our jobs, volunteering at school, car-pooling - well, WHEW . I am exhausted just thinking about it. Who has the time to make an outfit from scratch. My suggestion is to buy one of the terrific selections of Hannah Montana Halloween costumes that are available, and then customize the costume by becoming your own stylist.

You can become the stylist and really “make” the outfit by concentrating on the hair, makeup and accessories. Have you ever watched Project Runway? While the designers were focusing on designing an amazing dress, they also needed to give their attention to hair and makeup. It was the entire ensemble and how well all the accessories complemented the outfit that had a big influence on the final judging. So let’s look at all the elements of becoming the best Hannah Montana for Halloween.

If your daughter has long blonde hair, she can wear it straight with bangs and you already have the Hannah Montana rock star hair. You can look at some pictures online and duplicate the Hannah Montana style that best fits your daughter.

If your daughter’s hair isn’t blonde, you might want to purchase a wig or buy some temporary hair color - usually a spray - that is available around Halloween. Go to your local CVs and you are sure to find one of those temporary spray in hair colors. A safer choice, in my opinion, is to buy a wig, or to buy a costume that comes with a wig. That way you can be certain to avoid any hair disasters that can strip away the fun of Halloween.

Always check to see what your costumes comes with before you go any further. But if it did not come with all the accessories, here is a plan. First, a must have is an oversized, sparkly metallic belt. This will add glitter to the Hannah Montana Halloween outfit. Find something that your daughter will want to wear with her regular clothes so you make the best use of your money. If you have a belt around that you are willing to decorate, you can go to any craft store and use some hot glue to decorate your belt with sequins or other sparkly decorations. Be sure you do not decorate the part of the belt that needs to go in the loop or it probably won’t fit through. If you do not have the right type of belt, then take a scarf and tie it in place of the belt. Tie it over a belt so it still looks like a belt and not just a scarf.

Next, determine what type of jewelry will be best with the outfit. You can consider a small necklace or large silver cuff bracelet. Just be careful not to over-do it with the jewelry. You are better cutting back rather than wearing too much. You are only trying to add a bit of sparkle, and you don’t want to detract from the overall look of the outfit.

Finally, let’s put together a plan for the makeup. You must get the makeup right so your young Hannah looks like she is a rock star ready to perform on stage. Take care of those brows. Hannah Montana has well defined eyebrows. Pluck, if needed so you define your own natural arch. Then fill in the brows with a light brown eye shadow using a stiff brush, or you can use a light brown eye brown pencil. Just keep your brows light (no dark brown pencils) but keep them well-defined. Hannah Montana always has a great tan complexion. The easiest way to get this tan is to use a little bronzer. Use a real light touch. Next, a little blush to set off that great tan. Use a little pink, rose, or peach blush. I love the peach blush with the Gold Hannah Montana Halloween costumes. If you are using a powder blush, take a small brush, shake off the excess, and gently apply to the apples of your cheeks. Do it lightly, and then reapply until you get the shade you are looking for. Add some lip gloss and you are done.

So, have fun with this. You can be your own fashion stylist and send your daughter out for Halloween trick-or treating looking like a unique Hannah Montana rock star diva. Have a Happy Halloween.
