Dress up for Goodwill and win free clothes
Goodwill Industries of Hawaii Inc. is inviting all creative ghouls and wenches to conjure up their best Halloween costume to win a year of free shopping at Goodwill.
Goodwill’s “GLAM! and Ghouls Costume Contest” runs through Oct. 30. Entries will be uploaded to Goodwill’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/GoodwillHawaii, and the costume with the most “likes” by Oct. 30 will win the grand prize, just in time for Halloween.
To enter, register at the Goodwill Hawaii website, www.higoodwill.org, visit a local Goodwill store for costumes or costume accessories and then email a photo of your creation to MCD@higoodwill.org. Original costumes must include at least one item purchased at a Goodwill store in Hawaii, and entrants are encouraged to share how items found at Goodwill added to the glamour or gruesomeness of their costume.
Entrants with the most popular costumes will be invited to showcase their creativity at the free Celebrate Kaimuki Kanikapila fifth annual Craft Fair and Street Festival from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 29 at Waialae Avenue and Kaimuki Community Park.

Rental fees are based on the type of costume rented and length of costume rental. Prices start at about $15 for accessories such as a hat or pair of gloves, to $75, with most costumes averaging about $50. A security deposit is required at the time of rental.
Call 733-0277, ext. 2.
Let M.A.C make you up like a star
Makeup is another key element to costuming, and costume pros prefer it due to the restrictive nature of masks, which can also be hazardous when it limits field of vision.
Halloween is one of the biggest holidays for M.A.C, when its makeup artists put all their creativity to work re-creating characters and images culled from each year’s popular personalities and media sensations.
This year M.A.C’s creative team has homed in on vampires a la “Twilight” and “True Blood,” the perfect glam look of a 1960s stewardess who made a comeback in the TV series “Pan Am,” the pop princess look of Nicki Minaj, as well as more fun looks such as a panda inspired by “Kung Fu Panda,” and Smurfette, who made a big-screen splash in the live action/animated “The Smurfs” movie.
M.A.C’s makeup artists are taking appointments to help individuals create their look on Halloween.
