About this costume

Lives at the edge of the map for a reason - the swamp hag costume is a scary Halloween costume idea for adults who want full fairy-tale-villain energy. Mud-toned rags, a tangled wig, and warty prosthetics make this one of the most committed, gross-in-a-good-way Halloween costumes in the lineup.

DIY this look

The swamp hag costume takes a little more time than most on this list, but the prosthetic kit does most of the scary work for you.
  1. Wear mud-toned, tattered-looking rags as your base - old fabric you can rough up further works best.
  2. Apply the wart and wrinkle prosthetic kit first, before any other makeup, so it has time to set.
  3. Add the snaggle-tooth veneers and tangled grey wig last.
  4. Smudge a little extra dirt-toned makeup onto exposed skin for texture.
