How to make a devil costume
The devil is the easiest bold costume there is: something red, a pair of horns and a tail. It is dramatic without much effort and it photographs well in low light.
What you need
- Red horns on a headband
- A red top or dress
- A red pointed tail
- Black boots or shoes
- A plastic pitchfork
- Red lipstick and winged liner
How to put it together
- Winged liner and a red lip.
- Red on top, black below.
- Tail pinned at the back, horns on last and the pitchfork in hand.
From things you already own
Anything red, black jeans, and horns made from red card on a headband.
No makeup?
The horns and the tail do the work; leave the face bare.
For a group or a couple
The angel and devil couple is a classic, and a group of devils in different shades of red works for any size.

Short of time, or wearing it to work?
This one takes about 8 minutes. If Halloween is tomorrow, the last-minute list is ordered by how long each costume takes. If you are wearing it to the office, the work list is the eight that survive a full day at a desk. Not sure yet? Answer three questions and get one costume with its checklist.
