CHEAP TRICKS: HOW TO SHINE LIKE A ROCK STAR WITHOUT SPENDING A FORTUNE

~ Study Shows People Favor DIY This Halloween ~

October 2011

(Redmond, WA, Thursday, October 20, 2011) - This Halloween is shaping up to be a do-it-yourself (DIY) kind of spook night. According to a recent Bing survey, nearly 40 percent of respondents said they were going the DIY route for Halloween costumes. Another 43 percent said the reason DIY is so appealing is because purchasing a costume to wear for one night is too expensive.

Among the most popular DIY looks this year is Kate Middleton - 47 percent of women fancy dressing like the fashionable Princess. Edward Cullen topped the list for men - 35 percent say they'll transform themselves into the Twilight sex symbol. From real people to movie stars, DIY experts say their looks can be achieved with the right combo of wardrobe, make-up and attitude.

Bing has partnered with celebrity stylists Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn to provide tips and tricks for becoming a DIY genius this Halloween.

  • It's reality TV time! When in doubt, remember nearly everyone identifies with reality TV stars. Love them or hate them, some reality stars have become just as recognizable as movie or rock stars.

  • Dress like a rock star. Some of favorite costumes are inspired from what stars wear onstage. One way to really impress at your Halloween party is to find the most identifiable look from your favorite artist' performance or music video and break down the look. Everyone wants to party like a rock star and now you can look the part with ripped jeans and shades.

  • Makeup cures all. Makeup and hair styling are a great way to create a fun and easy costume. If you're able to master the makeup, the rest of the costume is sure to fall in line. Signature looks of classic rock stars are always fan favorites. For example, full face make up to mimic KISS makes the look and all you need is black clothing to fill out the character.

  • Daily Deals. With one click, you'll see the top daily deals featuring the very best offers in your metro area, with savings generally from 30-50 percent off.
