I've become aware lately that everyone is as obsessed with Insurance as I am and Halloween is no exception to that rule. Check out these ideas when thinking of a Halloween costume this year.
Halloween Costume Ideas: Insurance Frauds
By Aida Ekberg
For some inexplicable reason, many of the most popular characters of commercials are those found in insurance ads. So if you want to promote car insurance on Halloween, try a few of these Halloween Costume ideas based on characters like Flo from Progressive Insurance, Erin Esurance, the Geico Gecko, and Geico Caveman. (At least everyone without a DVR will find these Halloween costume ideas amusing.)
Flo - Flo, the upbeat Progressive Insurance salesgirl who sells insurance in a bright, white, afterlife-ish world, has become a runaway hit with ad watchers. Just be forewarned: her white outfit is one of the Halloween costume ideas here that's easiest to get dirty. To achieve her high hairstyle, you can part your hair to the side and use a Bumpits with a blue headband in front of your bump. Then all you need is a white shirt, white jeans, blue Converse sneakers, a white apron, and a "tricked-out" nametag that says "FLO". For makeup, wear bright red lipstick and fake eyelashes. Give yourself a smoky eye with gun-metal gray eyeshadow and black eyeliner, extending the line you draw out from the corner of your eyes just a bit to create a classic cat eye look. Since Flo is such a friendly and helpful character, this is one of the best Halloween costume ideas for looking approachable.
Erin Esurance - If you're looking for sexier Halloween costume ideas, you may want to get animated with an Erin Esurance getup. Erin Esurance's spy girl look has made her one of the most popular insurance characters on TV, and she has a fun, funky, and covert style that's fun to imitate. For her look, all you'll need is a pink, short wig, a black body suit, a pink belt, black, high-heeled boots, and a Bluetooth Headset (of course you don't have to go out and buy this if you don't already have one). You can also add some pink writstbands and wear a stretchy pink headband around your upper thigh for added pink accents. Now just finish your look off with some pink lipstick and use the same cat eye makeup method described above, and you've got one of the sexiest Halloween costume ideas to ever come from an insurance commercial.
Caveman - This insurance icon is one of the easiest Halloween costume ideas on this list, as long as you purchase a mask. Then all you have to do is wear a normal outfit like a button-up shirt and khaki pants, and everyone will know that you're supposed to be one of the only commercial characters to ever get his own TV show.
Gecko - This is one of the more difficult insurance-related Halloween costume ideas to create yourself, but you could pull it off with a little work. To create the gecko head, you'll need a green cold-weather face mask with just your eyes showing, black, white, and red fabric paint, and green face paint. You'll also want a picture of the Geico Gecko for inspiration. On the side of the mask, paint two big, black, sideways teardrop shapes for the eyes, and paint two white dots on the middle top of them to make the eyes look like they're shining. Now brush a little red paint in the center of the mask and a little white paint over where your mouth would be. Then use the black paint to put two small black dots right under your eye hole for your nose and draw a long black line underneath the dots and on top of the white paint for your mouth. Then you'll cover your eye area that's exposed with the green face paint. Now you'll just need to put on a green sweat suit or bodysuit, green gloves, and green shoes to complete the look. I know this is one of the Halloween costume ideas here that would take a lot of work to make, so if you don't want to go through all the trouble, you could always simply purchase a gecko costume.
These Halloween costume ideas are great for groups, so if you and your friends want to dress up like a few funky insurance frauds for Halloween, have fun hashing out who will get to be Flo, Erin Esurance, the caveman, and the gecko.
