USE CASES
Witch Costume, Live on Your Camera
See yourself as a witch in real time: pointed hat, dark robes, and a look that blinks, smiles and talks with you. No hat to shape, no face paint to scrub off.
The witch is still America's number one adult Halloween costume. In the National Retail Federation's 2026 survey, 4.8 million adults said they plan to dress as a witch, ahead of the vampire at 4.2 million and Batman at 2 million. Many 2026 looks are darker and moodier than the green-face classic, and a live filter lets you try that version on camera before you put a costume together.
This year's witch
The witch has topped the NRF's adult costume list for years, so the question is not whether to go witch but which witch. This season's costume roundups lean gothic: black lace and velvet, deep purple and forest green, silver jewelry, and a hat with a wide, slightly crooked brim, worn with a natural face, dark lips and shadowed eyes instead of cartoon green paint.
The look, piece by piece
Long dark robes or a gown
Black, deep purple or green, ideally with some texture such as velvet or lace.
Silver jewelry
Rings, a moon pendant, or charms.
Moody makeup
Dark lips and shadowed eyes rather than a green face.
A prop
A broom, a spell book, or a candle for the scene.

Ideas that suit a witch
Spell-casting reveal
Start as yourself, wave a hand at the lens, and cut to the witch look mid-gesture.

Everyone picks a different witch: classic, gothic, forest, sea.
Haunted room
Restyle your whole frame into a candlelit cottage or misty forest with Style Morph.
Witch and vampire pair
Combine with a vampire costume for a couple or a duo stream.
Live, not a photo template
Photo witch filters give you one portrait. LiveGen works on the live camera feed, so the look reacts as you talk, laugh and move, which is what makes a reveal land on a stream or a call. The Live Morph entry explains how the real-time transformation works.
