Boob tape for Halloween is a must for ensuring your costume not only looks flawless but also feels comfortable and secure. Halloween costumes are known for pushing the fashion envelope—and often, that means wearing outfits that are tricky for traditional bras. Think strapless, backless, or deep-V designs that just won’t work with straps, clasps or cups.
But for those who haven't dabbled with breast tape, the process can feel new and scary. Luckily for you, we're making the entire process feel seamless with our TK-step guide. Ahead, the tips and tricks you need to get Halloween-party ready with our favorite costume hack.
Step 1: Plan Your Look
Once you've picked out your Halloween costume, decide the best application style to best complement your neckline. For plunging styles with covered shoulders, consider applying tape in our Holster style, which starts under the breast and lifts up toward the shoulder. For thin straps or strapless looks, our Bandeau style—which extends across the chest from the outside of one breast to the other—provides plenty of cleavage and support.
Step 2: Start With Clean, Dry Skin
Lotions and body oils are great, but applying them to the skin before breaking out the boob tape can affect the application. The adhesive will work best on clean, dry and lotion-free skin. Once you've achieved your desired lift, you can go ahead and apply your favorite body hydrator.
Step 3: Cut To Your Unique Shape And Size
The best part about breast tape is it's a true one-size-fits-all product. Unlike traditional bras, Nue's roll allows you to cut as little or as much as you need. Cut as many strips as needed to fit your size keeping in mind that the tape stretches and you'll need a lot less than you think.
Step 4: Give Yourself A Natural Lift
Starting with your first strip, place the end of the tape under the breast, pull upwards to lift the breast and stick in place. Repeat with the next strip(s), lifting and sculpting with each application. For cleavage, pull breasts together.
