Halloween makeup at home

Halloween is one of the most popular holidays in Western countries. And this is not surprising: on this holiday, people can try on various images - from terrifying to fairy-tale characters. But the main thing is that Halloween make-up looked not only intimidating, but also aesthetic.

Important Makeup Tips

In order to create Halloween makeup, use professional theater makeup or face painting. Of course, you can limit yourself to shadows and cosmetic pencils, but only with professional paints you can create an effective image. You should also be aware of some of the intricacies of scary makeup.

1. Feel free to use dark saturated shades in the make-up. The image in the Gothic style will look appropriate at such an event. But you don’t need to get too carried away with gloomy colors so that your image does not turn out too aggressive and defiant.
2. For some looks, you may need not just a china shade, but snow-white skin. To achieve this effect, you need to use the lightest shade of foundation, powder, or makeup for clowns. Just be careful - you don’t need your face to look like a white mask, so you should try to get as light as possible.
3. Before using face painting or paints, do an allergy test.
4. Accessories can complement your look: wigs, jewelry, clothing items.
5. To make your look as spectacular and bright as possible, make-up needs to be supplemented with suitable clothes. Makeup and costume should be a single ensemble.

In order for your Halloween makeup to work out, you need to use only high-quality and safe cosmetics. If you do not have special artistic skills, do not immediately try to make complex makeup. And a simple image can look spectacular if it is done carefully and will be in harmony with clothes and hairstyle.

Zombie Makeup

Halloween makeup for girls can be scary. Of course, not all beautiful ladies are ready for such bold experiments. But those who dare to try on "terrifying" images, always find themselves in the spotlight. One of the popular Halloween make-ups is zombies.

The main attributes of this image are:

• pale skin color;
• traces of decomposition;
• wounds and injuries.

It is also worth noting that a zombie cannot have healthy snow-white teeth. Therefore, before the party, rinse your teeth with a dark dye, and after the holiday, brush them with baking soda. To make up more realistic, you need fake blood: you can buy it in a store or make it yourself.

1. On a cleansed face, apply a light tint. You can also use makeup by adding a little blue or green to the white.
2. With dark shadows, draw circles under the eyes, carefully blend them. You can add a little red color - so the bruises will turn out to be more realistic.
3. Instead of blush, go with dark green shades and a slightly purple tint. Blend all transitions between shades.
4. Stick the pieces of napkins on the skin with glue for eyelashes. They need to be glued in several layers - it is not necessary at all to make it look neat. Your task is to achieve an uneven surface.
5. When the glue dries, apply a foundation that was used as a background shade on the napkins.
6. To add more naturalness, walk along the edge of the napkins with dark shadows.
7. To create the effect of lacerations, gently tear in several places with a toothpick and slightly tear the edges with your hands to get the effect of exfoliated skin.
8. In places of tear, in addition to purple and blue shades, apply fake blood. And the makeup "Zombies" is ready.

Creating an effective image is not difficult at all - you need to show a little imagination. But still, before creating such a make-up, it is better to work out so that it turns out to be as effective as possible.
