I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!
My favourite halloween costume has always been a witch, not the pretty short dress nice makeup witch though. The prettiest I would accept is 'The Sanderson Sisters' from 'Hocus 'Pocus'
This is the best effort I've seen, Winnie's Green cloak was originally just green fabric, she then spray painted it and sewed it together, good effort!
But as I study makeup, I now think..a witch that isn't green is pretty boring!
Like the classic 'Wicked Witch of the West' from 'The Wizard of Oz'
Get messy with green paint and shadow and highlight to enhance features and make them as ugly as you like!
The witch is a classic for all ages too.
And the best thing, you can definitely afford it! Because you can make it from things you have. you don't need to go out and buy things! sure if you don't want to make your own hat you may need to spend a pound or so...but realistically you could make one and still look awesome!

The Hidden History of Cosmetics
In 2011 archaeologists discovered the earliest cosmetics in human history. Hidden in the Blombos Cave in South Africa was a 100,000 year old factory. Colours were carefully mixed using specific recipes. This was used for cave art and delicate patterns on the skin.
Moisturiser for the skin consisted of animal fats and blubber.
In Anatolia, Turkey, red ocher was used on the walls, however the use of palettes and application tools, it is likely that it was also used for body art.
In China, a white powder and red blush was applied to the face, in Egypt it was heavy eye makeup. Egyptians believed elaborate eye makeup could ward off evil spirits and improve eyesight.
In ancient Greece, pale skin and golden locks were seen as attractive.
For the pale skin look, the face was smeared with toxic white lead.
For the lips a paste of ion oxide and olive oil.
Charcoal was used for eye shadow and to connect the eyebrows.
In Rome, sweat from sheep wool was applied to the face before bed, chalk powder and or white lead for the pale face.
Romans also painted there bodies in blue designs all over the body. This blue came from a plant most common in Scotland, and indeed the reason the Scotland flag is blue.

Artem’s contribution to the show consisted of two requests - to design and build an inflatable suit for gum-chewing Violet Beauregarde as she starts to transform from normal into a giant blueberry, and to devise a series of experiments for the Oompa-Loompas in their sweet testing laboratory.
The inflatable suit had to fit each of the four child actors covering the part, and be self-contained under their outer costume. It also had to be operated by the child and of course be safe. At Artem, Laura Sindall made up a couple of patterns that were trialled to get the best ‘look’ and discussions covered just how much of the body would inflate. Eventually this was the torso, thighs and upper arms. The air supply had to be tiny in order to be hidden, but had to be capable of ensuring a full inflation, which narrowed options down to dive components with their safety margins and long reliability record. This with some safety controls and switching allowed the pneumatics to be hidden away in a small backpack the actor was wearing. Other safety valves ensured the suit could not over inflate and squish the child! It was very amusing when the prototype was first tried out, great fun for the child, and satisfying for the Production.
The Oompa-Loompa sweet experiments were more of an open book. They wanted to be interesting mechanisms on stage, with bright colours, bubbles, and smoke, but had to be contained in a very small footprint due to the set and the dancing action around them. Six different units were built incorporating air and fluid pumps. Lots of tubing and whacky containers with bubbles floating from one while smoke rose gently from others.
