Want to dress as this super-hot and totally badass Shadowhunter from The Mortal Instruments on Halloween? Follow this easy guide and you'll be looking like Clary Fray in no time!
Steps
-
Put on a black tank top. If you've seen the movie, Clary wears a black tank top (or you could use a black strapless top). Always stick by the motto: "Shadowhunters always look better in black."
-
Add a pair of black skinny jeans or tights to your look. Remember, Clary's outfit is versatile, so if you don't have something, you can always substitute it with another piece of clothing, as long as it looks a little like what you were missing.
-
Put on a leather jacket. The more Goth it looks, the better! (Wearing a 3/4 jacket looks much better than a 4/4 jacket.)
-
Slip on some black booties. They don't have to be high heeled. If you wish to purchase the booties Lily Collins wore in the movie, eBay is your friend!
-
Do your hair and makeup. The Mortal Instruments makeup set from NYX is perfect for completing the costume or for everyday use. Look for a tutorial here on how to put on the right makeup for this look! Your hair should be loose and a little messy. For extra volume and depth, curl your hair.
-
Grab your stele and Shadowhunter buddies! Time to kill some demons!
Tips
- Want to add some eccentric rune markings to your arms? Use a Sharpie or eyeliner.
- You can also buy Shadowhunter rune temporary tattoos online.
- If you want to go a little further with the look, get some Shadowhunter jewelry! Spice up your look with an enkeli necklace, or Tessa's clockwork angel pendant (from the Infernal Devices series).
