One of the great sides of Halloween Costumes is the dressing up and creating a truly inspirational character with a great costume and topped off with some creative makeup. So let’s take a look at some great Halloween makeup ideas and see just what we can come up with here.
Its usually the kids that want the making up ready for when they go out on trick or treat. They’ll want to be wearing their spookiest and most lifelike costumes to go along with some really blood curdling face makeup to hopefully scare the pants off the little old lady who lives down the street!
So there are plenty of great ideas for what to use in the way of Halloween makeup for creating the most gory and creepy looking faces. The deepest carmine reds for lips that hint at dripping with vampire blood, along with the coldest whites for the skin, black eye makeup to enhance the eyes and eyebrow thickener to get the meanest eyebrows on the block!
Now you can go for the full, double-take alien look by popping in some really cool colored contact lenses, although mom’s may be a little unsure of whether to allow younger kids to do that. Its probably best reserved for the older kids in their teens who can really go to town and put the frights into some of the neighbors by coupling the Gothic black and white makeup with jet black wigs and outfits that would scare the living daylights out of a all-in wrestler!
When it comes to getting made up to compete with friends over who can look the scariest, let your creativity flow and go with what looks best. You can always go back and alter anything that doesn’t work, but just make sure you use Halloween makeup that you can get off as easily as you can put on!
