On the eve of All Saints’ Day, we have already managed to share ideas for makeup and costumes for Halloween. Now it’s time to discuss how to create makeup.
Many people confuse makeup and makeup for Halloween. However, there is a big difference between them. In the first case, we decorate the appearance with decorative cosmetics, and in the second, we radically change the face, creating frightening and realistic images.
Makeup doesn’t have to be scary though. It can also be aesthetically pleasing and is easy to make at home.

Scary Halloween Makeup
Everyone wants to be remembered in their own image on a holiday in honor of Halloween. Therefore, makeup is the best solution! Make your character more realistic and scary by adding important details to his image. For example, if you chose a devil costume, then you can’t do without colorful horns.

- Cut out future horns from pinoplast, and then do the same, but from newspaper or thick paper.

Step-By-Step Instruction:
We do makeup. Then we draw with the help of an eyebrow pencil the eye sockets and flower petals.
We apply white makeup with a brush for a tonal foundation, without painting over the areas highlighted with a pencil.
We also make markings on the shoulders with a pencil. After that, paint over the marked areas with white makeup.
Then we take black makeup and paint over the eye sockets with it.
We draw the nostrils and then cover the drawing with a black tint.
We make a black outline on the collar, and red on the petals near the eye sockets. We also completely paint over them. You can use a lip liner.
Make up your lips and draw stripes from them, and then draw strokes. They should resemble teeth.
You can also make a cobweb with eyeliner on the neck. And then highlight the keys with shadows.
The brightness of the image can be added with sparkles. Just apply eyelash glue to your lips and then cover them with glitter.
In general, there are many options for beautiful makeup for Halloween. Basically, it is makeup with bloody elements, scars, expressive eyes, roses that cut through the skin, or fangs. The emphasis in such makeup is on brightness and unusualness. It is important not to scare, but to impress. Most often, prototypes of ghosts, seductive vampires, characters like Harley Quinn, Pennywise, Joker, etc. are used to create such makeup.
Such bows require more time than regular makeup, but the result is worthwhile. We have found some bright images that will suit you or just become an inspiration.
