Valentine's Day Cupid Costumes

It's easy to make a very basic cupid costume by simply draping a length of white fabric around oneself. Add wings and props, and you're good to go!

If you would like to go beyond a basic cupid costume, choose from the many commercial pre-made cupid costumes.

The look of your perfect cupid costume can be best completed with skillfully applied cupid makeup. It is important to choose makeup colors that compliment your costume. Traditional cupid colors are white and red, but if you have chosen a cupid costume in shocking pink or gold, select cosmetics that match. Enhance your makeup with stick-on crystals and jewels.

Every cupid costume needs just the right props. Where would Cupid be without his or her bow and arrow?

To further accessorise, you might consider adding heart jewelry -- pendants and bracelets would look wonderful with your costume. And for just the right finishing touch, trailing heart garlands would complete the look.
