Gene Simmons’ KISS costume and face make up became one of the most popular costumes since the 1980′s. His eye make-up is probably the most memorable part of his outfit since its sinister shape and edges resembles that of an evil clown. The story behind Gene Simmons’ make up, according to his band mates, reflects his dark humor. Although Gene took on this inauspicious alter ego, the media and his fans perceive him to be a very generous and highly-talented rock star.

Gene Simmons is one of the four original musicians of the glam-rock band KISS. They received worldwide fame in the 80′s which continued on to the 90′s and recently, the hit musical-series GLEE paid tribute to this legendary rock band complete with each band member’s costume and stage antics. Although KISS has not released a new album in awhile, the fan base of KISS is as strong as ever which is why KISS costumes have become very popular choices for Halloween and other costume-themed parties.

Completing the whole Gene Simmons/The Demon look is easy to do. Anything black, made of leather, and studded would do as an alternative but if you’d like to hit the right Demon look, there are Demon Child costumes available for all sizes.

Once you have this costume in your hands, you should learn Gene Simmons’ on-stage mannerisms to play the part well. Gene is known for his tongue-wagging, stage-spitting antics and insane guitar tricks so if you know how to play the guitar and pull off a sinister look, you’re good to go!
