Masks, Capes, Robes & Hooded Costumes Cover Your Real Identity
One easy way to create a simple, fun and effective Halloween costume is to start with with a mask, a cloak, a cape or a robe to hide your true identity.
Halloween is a time when children and grown-ups alike get to take on a different identity for a a few hours, a night or a day and be a bit mysterious about our true identities.
While, I haven't created lenses on all of the featured Masks, Caped, Robed and Hooded Costumes listed (yet), I realized when I went to start this lens that I had created quite a few lenses that featured people who were cloaking their identities in some way.
