Halloween Couple Costume Ideas: Superman and Superwomen And/Or Lois Lane and Clark Kent

 

Halloween is definitely one of my FAVORITE times of the year as it brings out my inner child!  We can all reminisce about fond childhood memories in anticipation and excitement for all the candy we would receive from trick-o-treating, only to be pillaged and half eaten by our parents or siblings (at least in my case!).   

Halloween is a day you get to dress up and transform into ANYONE or ANYTHING that your heart desires - the possibilities are endless.   

I thought it would be a great idea to do a few Halloween posts with my boyfriend Jiwan to share a few costume ideas for the couples out there.

Since this year is the 75th Anniversary of Superman, I thought the first post should be a tribute to the superhero icon himself. 
  

Option 1: Superman & Superwoman:

This option may be suited for those couples that have a bigger budget and are willing to pay just over $100 for the two full costumes, as opposed to a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) project.   

I borrowed our costumes from my brother and sister-in-law which they purchased online from Costume Express.

SupermanMuscle Chest Adult Plus Costume - $56.99

Superwoman Adult Costume - $49.99

"Every superwoman needs her Superman."

Option 2: Superman & Lois Lane:

  

This option is for those couples that are on a budget and may want to just purchase one costume, OR a past "Superman" who wants to re-use a costume from a previous year with the NEW addition of "Lois" on their arm! ;)

For Lois Lane you need some sort of business attire (pant suit, dress, blazer etc).  Most of you probably already have these items in your wardrobe.  If not, or you can borrow items from your family or friends.  

Value Village is also a great option as you could probably find a business attire ensemble for just under $15.00. 

Superman:  
Muscle Chest Adult Plus Costume - $56.99

Lois Lane: 
Blazer and Skirt - Femme 
Pink Belt with Gold Hardware - ASOS
Neckless: Aldo Accessories 

Daily Planet Badge ID's: DIY
There are templates available online and you can insert your picture in any ID badge.  

Option 3: Lois Lane & Clark Kent:

This is probably the easiest and cheapest costume to achieve out of the three.  All these items were already in both our closets.  As previously mentioned, if you don't have business attire you can borrow something from your friends or family or go to Value Village. 

You can find a Superman shirt at your local mall or in one of those custom made t-shirt shops or the flea-market for just under $20.00.

Collaboration with Lesonne Bridals:

I was super excited when Ruchika Verma, owner of Lesonne Bridals agreed to collaborate with me on my Halloween blog posts.    

Ruchika decided to go with a smokey black eye and a bright red lipstick to pull together the look for both the Superwoman option and Lois Lane.

Lesonne Bridals Tip:  Ruchika recommends the best way to achieve this look is to focus on a winged eyeliner.  Here she used Black Track by MAC which is a fool proof way to get the perfect winged look.   

Lip pencil: Kiss me quick by MAC

Foundation: Make-up Forever in shade 123 and Motives Vanilla Cream

Eyeliner: Black Track by MAC

Blush: Peechykeen by MAC

Red Nail Polish: All Fired Up by Revlon

To transition over to the Lois Lane look I went over the red lipstick with more of a bright pink shade to switch it up.  I used L.A Girl lipstick in the colour “True Love.”
