Halloween Costumes: How to Dress Up Like a Shadowhunter via Hollywood Crush

MTV's Hollywood Crush is getting Shadowhunter fans in the Halloween spirit by featuring a post on how to dress like a Shadowhunter. Complete with pictures, ideas and links to find what you're in need of, this post is a one stop shop for The Mortal Instrument Fans. 



Per Hollywood Crush:

"Looking Better in Black" isn't just a slogan for the Shadowhunters—they wear the midnight hue with aplomb while fighting the world's foes. Even better? All of these black basics can be purchased at Forever 21 (and for relatively little green!). Start off with a pair ofPintucked Moto Jeggings (complete with awesome ribbing detail) for only $19.80, then top with a flesh-flashing basic tank (revealing plenty of surface area to display your runes). Add a pair of Isabelle-approved booties (we like this pair of lace-ups) or, if you prefer comfort over couture, combat boots sans heel will also do the trick. Finish with a slick jacket (like this Faux Leather Peplum one for $34.80).
A Shadowhunter is nothing without her runes though! Buy a kohl eye pencil or black lipstick to draw the protective markings on your arms and other visible areas of skin. Cassie's website has a full array of designs for you to crib, or you can always make up your own.
The final touch is your stele—that magical tool used to draw Shadowhunter runes. For an easy, homemade solution, grab a twig off the ground or bunch together a couple of pipe cleaners and wrap in aluminum foil. And—voila!—you're ready for any Magnus BaneHalloween party!

What are you waiting for? Go grab your Shadowhunter gear! If you do dress up as a Shadowhunter this Halloween be sure to send us pictures or tweet them to us, so we can share them with fans. And don't forget to enter our friends TMI Source's 2nd Annual Shadowhunter Costume Contest. I'm looking forward to helping judge another fabulous contest.
