Halloween masks to draw

If you've been invited to a Halloween party, it's time to think about your look. If you have already decided on a character, then you need to choose the appropriate costume, accessories and paraphernalia, and also take care of the hairstyle. But in order for the image to be complete and realistic, special attention should be paid to makeup or make-up. If you have no idea how to paint your face for Halloween, then a few valuable tips and ideas will help you make your choice.

Preparing the face

Makeup for a man, woman or child should always be applied only to a previously prepared face. Otherwise, you risk damaging your skin or even getting chemical burns. It is necessary to thoroughly degrease the upper layers of the skin; to do this, wash with regular soap, and then use any tonic containing alcohol. Then apply a thin layer of cream or makeup base, this will protect your face from the harmful and drying effects of cosmetics.

Makeup options for women

How to paint a woman's or girl's face for Halloween? Everything will depend on the image and complexity of the costume; we will consider the most popular options.

Gothic makeup

Classic gothic style makeup is suitable for the image of a witch, demoness, mistress of shadows or black widow. This Halloween face painting doesn't take much time and doesn't require any special skills.

1. To begin with, the skin must be whitened using light powder, theatrical makeup or white shadows. You can use watercolors or gouache, but then the result will not be as realistic. You can make whitewash yourself; to do this, you need to mix a rich cream with white clay or loose dye and apply it to the skin with a wide brush.

Skeleton image

It is very difficult to make such an unusual face makeup for Halloween, but the result is worth the effort and time spent.

1. First you need to draw the contours of the main bones of the skull. The places where the bones are supposed to be located are painted over with white, the voids are highlighted in black. The main elements of drawing are the eyes, nose, cheekbones and jaw. If your costume does not cover the neck and décolleté, you need to draw the cervical spine and upper chest.
2. Start painting with the “voids”; for this use black and dark gray shadows. The intensity of the shade should decrease from the center to the edges.
3. Paint the rest of the face white. Cover your lips completely. Using silver and light gray shadows, highlight the cheekbones and temporal lobes.
4. The finishing touches. The lines of teeth and protruding bones need to be made very sharp and clear, for this you will need liquid eyeliner or a pencil.

Artistic images

It is not at all necessary to make a scary and frightening face with makeup for Halloween: the photos presented below are a clear confirmation of this. Your image can be mysterious, fatal and even romantic. With the help of theatrical makeup, you can turn your face into a real work of art.

When applying makeup, it is worth remembering that it must be in the same color scheme as the costume. Too rich a palette of colors can spoil the image and turn it into a carnival one.

Makeup options for men

If everything is clear with the fair sex, then how can the male half of the population paint their faces for Halloween? The stronger sex is much luckier in this regard, because their image can be truly terrifying, while girls still want to preserve a little femininity and beauty.

the walking Dead

Perhaps the most popular characters among guys are skeletons and zombies. However, the variations are very different; it could be a stylish skeleton guy or a real Horseman of Death. But the general essence of the makeup does not change, usually it is a white face and dark accents on some parts of the skull.

If you want to emphasize individuality and stand out from the gray mass, then for the makeup idea you can use the image of a character from your favorite movie or comic book. Particularly popular are heroes such as Edward Scissorhands or the Mad Hatter. Fans of the Batman films can use Joker or Harley-Joker makeup. But fans of Marvel comics are the luckiest, as they have hundreds of thousands of characters to choose from, from the Hulk to Spider-Man.

Don't forget about the youngest family members. Although children prefer to wear scary masks on their faces, you can choose a look for Halloween that doesn't require them at all. Therefore, interesting makeup will help complement the costume.

Makeup for girls

How to paint a girl's face for Halloween? This primarily depends on her age and costume. For a baby, for example, the image of Pumpkin will be very suitable.
