Would you dare to cut your hair into a Mohawk or dye it green? Do you have a rock band or musician you love and want to emulate? Halloween is the perfect time to dress like a real rock star. We collected 20 ideas for Halloween costumes and makeup inspired by musicians from rock and metal. Take a closer look at the ideas below and at the distinctive personal style of these musicians.
Halloween costumes and makeup: Slipknot
The band Slipknot is known for its shocking masks. Each member has a different mask with its own meaning. You can, of course, make a Slipknot mask yourself, but you will need a lot of patience. Alternatively, original-style masks can be ordered online.

Halloween costumes and makeup: Avenged Sevenfold
The symbol of Avenged Sevenfold is called the “Deathbat”: a skull with bat wings. If you’re a fan of the band, you can easily integrate this feature into your makeup or mask.
Slash
Slash is a rock musician who was a member of the legendary band Guns N’ Roses from 1985 to 1996. A top hat, black curly wig, dark glasses, leather jacket and, of course, a guitar are the accessories you need if you want to look like Slash. As a bonus detail, he is often seen with a cigarette hanging casually from his mouth.
