Spooky make-up for Halloween

Halloween is approaching and you're looking for effective tricks to look really gruesome. The key is your make-up. You can wear disguises, but you certainly need to transform your appearance. You can achieve fascinating make-up effects with simple everyday materials and tools, but with a lot of motivation. For a sure-fire effect, here are a few tips to put into practice. Awaken your creative spirit!

Have you decided to become a witch? Here's how to succeed. You'll be just like the one in the famous film "Ocus Opus". It's really easy.
You'll need false eyelashes and false nails, very long ones at that. Place a large black peppercorn anywhere on your face. I've heard that witches always have them, especially big ones. Use the same glue as for false eyelashes. You can also undo an old brush or false eyelash you no longer use and remove some hairs to place on your face, again using false eyelash glue. If you're in a hurry, dry the glue with a hair dryer. Your face needs to be completely dry before you apply make-up. Once it's dry, apply a mixture of foundation and white dye with a brush. Matify your foundation with translucent powders. This will also help set it and prevent it from blending. Darken your eyes by applying a very greasy eyelash pencil to your eyelids and around your eyes. Your look will be much more intense. With a look like this, be sure you're scary. You can also darken your nostrils, mouth and cheeks with another non-greasy pencil. Always make sure to blend your make-up with a brush. If you prefer, you can apply a few wool rods all over your face. Finally, put on your wig and your "wicked grandmother" hat with a very pointed top.  

Why not transform yourself into a monstrous animal for Halloween night, like a werewolf? Many legends are linked to werewolves. And many films bring them to life, including Wolf with Jack Nicholson, Dog Soldiers, Taste of Blood, Underworld, The Werewolf of Paris, Van Helsing, Skinwalkers and many more. So how do you go about it? The techniques are numerous. Here's how to become just like the monster who metamorphoses into a frightening creature (half-man, half-wolf) on the evenings of the full moon.
For the disguise, all you have to do is tear and soil the clothes of your choice for the body transformation. It's best if these clothes are just your size. For hair, there are hairy fabrics sold in meters that you can then cut to size.  For teeth, simply use vampire dentures. It's all the same.
For make-up, start by using a bold black pencil and black eye shadow to darken your eye contours. Use colored contact lenses (yellow, gray, red) to give a more animalistic effect. Thicken your eyebrows with a pencil in the same color as your hair. Still in the same shade as your hair, try to imitate werewolf fur by drawing very thin stripes across your forehead, temples, cheekbones and jawline. Next, use a blood-red lip gloss, or pour fake blood over your lips.

Zombie make-up is currently the most coveted make-up for Halloween parties. The main aim is to have a face covered in bloody wounds and decomposing skin.  So how do you achieve this? With a little perseverance and patience, it's not impossible.
First, prepare the materials to be used. Foundation lighter than your face, glue for human skin, liquid latex, fake blood, nose paste and your make-up bag.
Apply your foundation, then apply several thin layers of liquid latex to the area where you want to place the wound. You can alternate this with toilet paper for an embossed effect. Once this has dried, after about 20 minutes, hollow out your cheeks and temples, as well as your eyelids, with a mixture of black and purple powder.  
Now gently crack the latex to bring out the wounds. Spread fake blood with a sponge. For a deeper effect, apply black eyeliner in the holes. Darken your lips with black powders using a brush. Blacken your eyebrows, or at least hide them, by applying nose paste and soaking it in liquid latex for fixation. Pour a little fake blood over your mouth as if it were dripping. And finally, tousle your hair using talcum powder. This will give your hair a messy look.

In conclusion, Halloween and the Day of the Dead are celebrated all over the world. A celebration for young and old alike, it's a time for fun and unique family moments. In the USA, these celebrations are a huge success. Why not celebrate Halloween in the USA? We wish you a horrifying Halloween!
