Ok well me and my friends hang out in a group of four. None of us can buy costumes anymore, so we need a good Halloween costume for four people. Can you give me some ideas? We need all the time we can get to put together stuff. We have makeup, but we don't know what to use it for, we have normal clothes in the closet, old Halloween costume parts, and maybe some acsessories. Please help.

Do something that involves or four people or two pairs - e.g. a pair could be a cat and a witch on a broom. You could all have a 'theme' - e.g. horror movie characters and be Frankenstein, Dracula, Scream, whatever.
A great idea for make-up is using it like normal, just a bit more excessively. For example, I'm an angel this year, so I'm using silver eyeshadow but using it as eyeliner too, and LOADS of mascara. You could do this with red, or black or green, or just extend the normal range of your eyeshadow or eyeliner and make it cover more of your eye. Try cool coloured mascara too, like green or purple or something that matches your costume.
You could go as the Addams family - there were four main people in that, or the Wizard of Oz characters (either Dorothy, Tin Man, Lion and Scarecrow or the four witches), different superheroes (and funny ones too like BananaMan if you don't want to be serious), angels and devils, random fast food (someone went dressed up as a water bottle once lol!), bowling pins and ball, the different stages of Michael Jackon (weird but so funny!), LOTR characters or other movie people, circus performers, barbies (all have the same hair and makeup and then be teacher barbie, malibu barbie (although that could be a little cold lol) etc)...etc etc etc!
And you can always cut up old clothes to make better costumes, and buy coloured hair spray if you want to change the colour of your hair!
