Your best friend during the spooky season will always be your Pinterest board. Because your pins are curated for you, the algorithm tailors ideas that match your aesthetic with simple keywords like “Halloween” or “last-minute costumes.”
You can also filter results by hair type, length or color and even skin tone, to find looks that resemble you. Searching for inspiration from people with a similar body type is another feature that can help you visualize how a costume or makeup idea will look in real life. Pinterest just came out with a new feature where you can remove any AI generated images if you’re not interested in that.
Pinterest is simply perfect for last minute planners. It lets you scroll through outfit ideas that can be recreated with pieces you already own. Pair that with a fun makeup look and hairdo, and you can turn what’s in your closet into a Halloween look that feels intentional and exciting without the stress of a last-minute scramble.
Between Instagram inspiration and Pinterest planning, you’ve got everything you need to make this Halloween as creatively chaotic as you want.
