Kiss Costumes
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008
Although KISS has not enjoyed the huge success in recent years as they did in the late 70’s and early 80’s, they have had a strong, steady influence in the music industry. Not to mention the costume industry.
Since back in the 70’s when KISS first became a household name, people have been trying to dress and look like the members of KISS. While the wild way that they dress is really quite simple, it isn’t like anyone has a lot of items lying around in their closet that are likely to work for a KISS costume.
First, you would need to find a black body suit and start adding layers. Basically, you need to go for as much black and silver as possible and platform knee high boots in the most outrageous style you can find. Capes and really large, gaudy belts would help enhance the outfit and don’t forget the makeup.
Once you apply the makeup, it will be quite easy to tell who you are dressed as. If you’re like me and are not so good at applying makeup, you can buy some really great Kiss Makeup kits online. Halloweenmart carries the full selection of Catman, Spaceman, Starchild and Demon Kiss Makeup kits.
They even have some Kiss masks (on the pricey side) if you want to chunk the makeup all together.
