Today, Halloween has become a holiday for which costumes are specially sewn, hairstyles and makeup are selected. Everyone wants to look unusual and terribly beautiful. Children especially love to try on the images of ghouls and other evil spirits. It is important to remember that the makeup you want to do for Halloween for your children is different from makeup for adults: all components must be hypoallergenic and not harm the baby’s delicate skin.
Types of makeup
First of all, it is important to determine for yourself what material you will use. There are several types of paint for creating Halloween makeup:
- Face painting.
- Theater makeup.
- Face chalks.
Face painting is good because it is easy to apply. Like watercolor paints, it is diluted with water, over time it does not crumble, does not flow, and does not stain clothes. The main advantages of this makeup are its environmental friendliness and hypoallergenicity, which is important when doing makeup for children.. It's not cheap, but one package is enough to celebrate Halloween several times.
Theater makeup is much heavier than the previous type of paint, and over time it can crack and stain the child’s clothes. In the light it shimmers with a greasy sheen.
One of the budget options for children's makeup is face crayons. These are non-toxic paints that are easy to apply with your fingers or a regular sponge. Disadvantage: They wear out quickly.
Materials
You will need pencils and eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, concealer, blush, and powder. Depending on the paint base used to apply makeup, you will need makeup removers.
Tools
Brushes of various thicknesses and textures, cotton sponges, napkins and discs.
Blending Basics
The first step is to check the skin's reaction to the paint. To do this, a small layer of paint is applied to the child's wrist. If within an hour there are no allergic reactions in the form of a rash, dryness or irritation, then you can safely get to work. Before directly applying makeup, it is recommended to lubricate the child’s skin with baby cream.
Types of makeup
As for any holiday, children's makeup that decorates a child's face on Halloween has its own characteristics and popular techniques. The most common images:
A vampire
The children's image of the main vampire on Halloween involves the use of three main color components: white, red and black. To begin, apply the white component to the face using a sponge. It can be made from a mixture of cornstarch, flour and 3 drops of glycerin.
To make the face more frighteningly pale, add a few drops of blue or purple food coloring to the composition.
Then, using liquid eyeliner or eyeliner, draw in the eyebrows, clearly defining two small arches. Dark gray or black eye shadow is used to cover the upper and lower eyelids. Makeup is applied to the cheekbones and chin using paint of the same color.
The lips are highlighted with bright red, and with a rich scarlet, using a thin brush, the fangs are drawn in the corners, depicting blood. If the streaks turn out to be uneven, you should shade them, imitating Dracula’s recent meal.
Cat
One of the popular images among little lovers of the mystical holiday is the image of a cat. The main features of the makeup are a mustache, a black nose and cat eyes. To make a cat baby make-up, you must first apply foundation to the face.
To do this, use standard products to even out complexion, for example, foundation or mousse.
To draw a cat's nose, paint over the tip of the child's nose with black, giving it a triangular shape. In the same tone, draw a thickened line downwards, ending it at the line of contact with the upper lip. Several lines are drawn from the nasolabial fold, imitating a mustache.
To give the eyes a cat-like almond-shaped cut, draw a clear line above the level of the eyelashes, bringing the tail up. Emphasizing the lips is optional. If you feel the look is not complete, apply a bright red, dark red or pink shade.
A pretty simple Halloween makeup look. Using a dark pencil or eyeliner, draw an arched line above the eyebrows. Golden shades are shaded under the eyebrows. Black eyeshadow is applied to the eyelids. Red horns are drawn on both sides of the forehead. The children's image of the devil is ready.
Mummy
An interesting option for children for Halloween is mummy makeup. The main thing here is to properly create the appearance of wrinkled skin.. To do this, prepare the preparation in the evening - dip a paper towel in the coffee and leave it to dry without squeezing. Using a wooden spatula, a mixture of corn starch and flour is applied to a small area of skin, and a piece of a previously prepared towel, slightly wrinkled by hand, is placed on top. The same principle applies to all remaining uncovered areas of the face. Next, the entire face and neck are wrapped in gauze, covering it with colorless powder on top.
Witch
In most cases, the witch has an unhealthy complexion with a brownish-green tint. Therefore, for this type of makeup, a green base is applied. The cheekbones, nose and chin stand out. Brown spots are shaded on top with light touches of a sponge. Black or brown wrinkles run down from the inner corners of the eyes. Apply eyeliner to the eyelids. The eyebrows are darkened, giving them a heavy and voluminous appearance. The lips are highlighted with dark red lipstick and the look of a witch for Halloween is ready.
Clown
Children's Halloween clown makeup varies by type:
- Classical.
- Clown with non-standard eyes and mouth, beige complexion.
- A dark-faced clown with a sad expression on his face.
Regardless of the clown image you choose for your child for Halloween, the application technique will be identical for everyone. First of all, apply the first layer of white or flesh-colored makeup. Then, using a brush, dark colors are drawn on the desired areas, highlighting arched eyebrows, enlarged lips and rosy cheeks. Very often, for children's Halloween makeup, they draw a kind clown, which is characterized by a big smile. Using a black pencil and white paint you can draw large teeth.
Doll
Another common Halloween makeup for girls is a doll. A foundation is applied to the face that matches the child’s skin tone. The lips are covered with a small layer of powder to give them a slight pallor. The cheekbones are highlighted with pink blush. The eyes are drawn using a black pencil (lines on the upper eyelid) and liquid eyeliner (large eyelashes are drawn on the top and bottom of the eye). The inner corners of the eyes are highlighted with a shimmering white shade. Lip makeup comes down to applying a dark red or pink shade with a brush in the center of a small circle.
Spider-Man
A common Halloween look for boys is Spider-Man. Without forgetting to first apply protective baby cream to the child’s skin, contours around the eyes are drawn with thick black paint.
Then we cover the entire face with red paint, avoiding only the outlined area around the eyes. You can apply the paint with a sponge, cotton pad or your hands.. Next, the “eye sockets” are shaded with gray or white paint. The final touch is to draw black lines representing a web.
Now all that’s left to do is choose the Halloween makeup you like together with your child and start making it. Good luck to you and have a happy holiday!
Not only adults love to dress up and try on fairy-tale looks. Children want to feel like superheroes or princesses, characters from their favorite cartoons. Halloween celebrations provide this wonderful opportunity. And Halloween makeup for kids will help with this.

If you decide to get into the character very deeply, then you should additionally paint on the scars and bloody scratches.
