Simple makeup tips to perfect your Halloween costume!
Halloween promises fun scary times, but the scariest part for some is having the makeup brush in hand, ready and poised to start applying their Halloween makeup! But this is unnecessary, as there are so many ideas out there to make Halloween makeup easy!
First of all, choose a Halloween costume that requires super simple styling, and either minimal makeup or something that is easily recognised, even if your skills are a bit dodgy. Allow plenty of time to get your Halloween makeup right on the day of your event.
Rest assured that if your Halloween costume goes horribly wrong you can always wash the makeup all off and start again. However, below we will aim to give you some tips and ideas so that the whole process of getting your Halloween costume right should be a whole lot easier.
Let’s start with some basic Halloween costume ideas that lend themselves to really awesome yet super do-able Halloween makeup.
Skeleton Halloween Costumes
Dem bones, dem bones, dem... fluoro bones?
Skeletons are probably one of the easiest Halloween costumes to do makeup for, because you basically just need to paint your face white and then add shadows and a few black lines to pass for teeth and bone cracks.
Take a look at the make-up on our boney friend wearing the
Skeleton Skin Suit Mens Costume to see what we mean. For a more feminine take on the traditional skeleton, see our
Neon Skeleton Womens Costume, which offers some alternatives to your basic Halloween makeup. Make it more girly by adding hearts on your cheeks using makeup or fluoro face paint.
Day of the Dead Man or Bride Halloween Costumes
Like a skeleton, but with a Mexican twist!
Much like the usual skeleton, you start with a white foundation for this Halloween costume. However the
Deluxe Day of the Dead Womens Costume requires Halloween makeup that is a little more detailed. It may help to look at some pictures online and then draw your design on paper before you start. Just add black makeup around the eyes, then coloured petal shapes around that, with a web motif on the forehead and stitches over the mouth.
You can find small tubes of fine face paint and small brushes to make applying the makeup easier. For a men’s version of this Halloween costume, try this
Deluxe Day of the Dead Mens Costume.
Zombie Halloween Costumes
Brains... Mmmm...
Zombies are the next easiest Halloween costumes to create when aiming for simple and achievable Halloween makeup looks. Again, we start with the basic white face, but this time you don’t need to be so careful, messiness is okay, and a bit of black lightly padded in places will help to give a grey rotting flesh look to your face! For this Halloween makeup look, you can add wounds and stitches on your face and body for extra gruesomeness.
We offer a range of different takes on the basic zombie, but a couple of our favourites are the
Zombie Convict Prisoner Mens Costume and the
Zombie Nurse Horror Womens Costume.
