Make up for Halloween at home

Although Halloween is considered a foreign holiday, it has already become firmly entrenched in modern celebration traditions among the Russian people. As this holiday approaches, many begin to be puzzled by the choice of costume and the selection of appropriate makeup for it. This article will talk about all the basic rules for choosing the right makeup and how to do Halloween makeup at home.

You should initially start by assessing your suit. It is he who creates the overall style and what the makeup will be like depends on him. In addition, you should think about the fact that makeup affects a person’s behavior at a party. For example, if a girl puts on a suit and does the appropriate makeup of the devil, then you shouldn’t even think about any cute antics. To look defiant and attract special attention, you should use more bright colors and extraordinary designs. This will add to your image and make it more unique. On this day, you don’t have to be afraid to apply some kind of wrong drawing; on the contrary, you can realize all your creative potential.

WHAT SHOULD YOU START WITH FOR HALLOWEEN MAKEUP?

When applying makeup, you should initially choose the right colors. It should be remembered that ordinary gouache or watercolor will not be appropriate in this case. The reason here lies in the fact that it can float at the most crucial moment or cause an allergic reaction on the skin of the face. In this case, preference should be given to specialized paints. For example, face painting. Its main advantages are that it does not cause an allergic reaction, a burning sensation and tight skin, is easily removed with water, and does not require special skills during the application process.

NEXT STEP: WHERE TO DO MAKEUP?

If a person wants to stand out with an unusual design or paint a specific part of the face, then you can turn to specialists. They will do any makeup in a short time, taking into account all your preferences. However, if you don’t have extra money and have a bit of imagination, you can decorate your face for Halloween at home no worse than in a salon.

NEXT YOU SHOULD SELECT A PICTURE

On the Internet you can find various images of evil spirits, horror stories, vampires and witches. Everyone will find something to suit their taste.

THEN YOU NEED TO PREPARE YOUR FACE CAREFULLY

To do this, you need to remove all remnants of makeup, remove all unevenness, and wash your face thoroughly. Next, it should be treated with a disinfectant and protective cream for makeup. The ideal option would be pale complexions with a lot of green, lilac or red. White shades can be created independently by mixing rich cream and white clay, or applying loose food coloring. Many people use flour or powder, but its huge disadvantage is that it crumbles and remains on objects in contact with the skin.

For the eyes, black tones and special makeup in the form of “smoky eyes” are used. It helps to significantly enlarge the eyes and give the look rich shades. Long arrows are especially good in this regard.

Eyebrows occupy a special place in makeup. They should first be plucked to a fine line and carefully painted. Coloring should be done with pencils in black and brown shades.

You should also pay a lot of attention to your lips. They need to be painted with bright colored lipstick. If you have plump lips, then this should be emphasized. Most people often choose vampires and zombies for their images. Girls dress up as nurses and witches.

Anastasia Skorekova Halloween 10/1/2015

Welcome to everyone on the blog today! We will discuss a non-trivial topic, but relevant in these autumn days - makeup for Halloween. It can be done in a variety of ways, presenting a variety of images at the holiday.

Not everyone celebrates this holiday, but many people like to stand out from the crowd. And what else can contribute to this if not competent makeup?) Although in this case it’s more like makeup.

I have already briefly mentioned one of the options for a terrible make-up. It's time to continue the topic

DIY Halloween makeup photos for girls and girls

Although makeup is predominantly a female activity, masquerade erases all boundaries, so let’s not forget about men either. However, first we will still consider options for the weaker half of humanity.

Doll

The makeup here should not be so much bright as it should be emphasizing the doll’s elements: various kinds of seams, buttons, plump lips, etc.

The most important thing is to highlight the eyes. They must be big and naive. Eyebrows are also worth drawing.

As you understand, it will be difficult for guys to use this particular type. But if you don’t put pressure on your painted lips, then everything will be ok. Although I doubt that guys will want to appear as a scary Ken for Halloween.

It seems to me that the simplest option is this step-by-step master class. You will need: a white base (you can use foundation), PVA glue, paper napkins, eye shadow in bright colors, lipstick, dark eye and eyebrow pencil.

1. Using PVA, carefully apply paper napkins as shown in the photo.
2. Apply foundation (you can also powder it)
3. Next we use shadows and pencil. The most important thing is to outline as large an area as possible, simulating the eye line (to enhance the effect, you can fill the area under the eyes with white shadows).
4. Fill your eyebrows, paint your lips.

If the idea of ​​a doll’s image haunts you, and this step-by-step explanation seems too simple to you, then I advise you to watch a tutorial on doll makeup in video format:

Cat

This look is classic, very pretty and not as scary as many traditional Halloween ideas. For it you will need face painting or simple gouache. You can also use regular cosmetics like black eyeliner, eye shadow and mascara - that will be enough.

The most important thing is to stock up on ears that suit you and a choker that will complement your Halloween look. By the way, in this form you will be able to play the famous catwoman. All that remains is to get the suit.

The second option is even simpler.

In order to make makeup the most interesting, I advise you to watch this master class:

Witch

Everything is very simple here, you don’t even need napkins with glue. Prepare: black and red pencils for eyes and lips, white or very light makeup base and red lipstick.

To create the effect of a transition of colors on the lips: apply red lipstick, and in the corners of the lips - a black pencil and blend.

By the way, with this makeup you can also create the image of the cat mentioned earlier.

Sugar Skull

I already wrote about the male version of the skeleton in a previous article about Halloween costumes. And now it’s time for the female version called “sugar skull.” This unusual makeup came to us from a holiday related to Halloween - the Day of the Dead, celebrated in Mexico (by the way, it takes place on November 1-2, that is, almost on the eve of All Saints' Day).

For this, it is better to use not only regular make-up products, but also masquerade face paints (can be purchased at office supply stores). By the way, in its simplest variation, this makeup can be done as a child’s makeup.

A dead bride

What is meant, of course, is not a living bride, but a corpse bride (as can be understood from the name). The highlight of the makeup is in the black lines near the eyes, imitating deep depressions, and in the black spot on the lips, applied with a pencil.

The application principle is similar to the previous options.

Do you remember Emily from the cartoon “Corpse Bride” from Tim Burton? Makeup with it is easy to recreate if you watch this master class from YouTube:

Demon (she-devil)

The shadows here extend beyond the eyebrows. After applying them, create sparkles of fire using black and red eyeliners.

Pay attention to the interesting way of coloring the Demon’s cheekbones: holding a scarf, paint the line of the cheekbones with red shadows or blush.

The lips are painted in a similar way to the witch. The result is a bright fiery devilish makeup, which is quite easy to repeat yourself.

Even cooler (and even somewhat simpler, except for the horns) was the festive makeup done here:

Zombie

The main focus of zombie makeup, in my opinion, is the characteristic spots and scars. You can make them like this: apply PVA glue, as in the photo. Gently apply toilet paper on top. Paint it properly with red paint and powder it. Then take red lip gloss and highlight the hollows.

Guys can also use this method.

And to find out how to paint your face to match this body makeup, I advise you to look at this tutorial:

Nurse

A popular image that is easy to reproduce at home. For him, the most important thing is the surroundings, which is achieved through proper makeup and various simple attributes. A medical mask and gown are enough to make you a real scary nurse.

Focus on the lips and eyes for a complete look. Unusual lenses will also help you achieve results.

You can see a step-by-step video of transformation into a nurse below:

Mickey Mouse (Minnie Mouse)

For Mickey's girlfriend, you will need to do bright evening makeup with the addition of a black nose and use the heroine's traditional round ears. Don't forget to stock up on some gorgeous false eyelashes to complete your beautiful Minnie look.

If you want your face to look more like a cartoon character, then try experimenting with arrows and pay special attention to lip makeup.

And a completely different vision of Minnie awaits you in the video below. This is perhaps the closest bow to the original.

Cobweb (Spider Queen)

You can create this look using black eyeliner and dark eye shadow. Mark with dots the places through which the lines of the web will pass. From the upper eyelid, draw several spider lines (one to each point) at the same distance from each other. Don't forget about the transverse lines to make the pattern complete.

You can complement the character with pale lip gloss.

The web can be made in a slightly different way, without using the eyelid itself.

Queen of Spades

For the first version of this Halloween makeup, it will be enough to apply white makeup and the attributes of a card ruler. Maybe you'd like to make the queen of hearts? Decide on the color and boldly apply the pattern, seasoning it with sparkles or rhinestones. Use the color of your lips to highlight your eye color.

An interesting vision of the bloody Queen of Spades is presented in this video with a detailed master class on how to create it.

Harley Quinn

The popularity of this character was due to the incredibly promoted film “Suicide squad” with accompanying comics. At one time, there were even memes on the Internet about Harley and Halloween: they say, all the girls will now transform into her for this holiday. Whether this is true or not is up to you to judge, but see the makeup of this young lady with a detailed description below.

Make-up paints will be used; in the absence of them, you can use simple gouache.

It's not surprising that Harley Quinn has had more than one make-up video done.

Video on how to create Halloween makeup at home

In the video master classes you will see some more interesting ideas on how to do very scary makeup: eyes on lips, a vampire and some other characters. Again, ordinary cosmetics are used for them.

Eye on lips

It’s more of an element of make-up – but what a make-up! With him, the rest of your appearance is not important.

A vampire

I saved the classics of the genre for last. The vampire is very similar to the witch in the way it performs. Can be used for a child's or woman's look.

Mermaid

The adorable little mermaid may not be the most common character for Halloween, but it is very appropriate. You can make it very creepy if you want, but I suggest paying attention to a cute interpretation of such a Halloween idea.

Ideas for the worst men's makeup

So that guys don’t worry, here are a few rules for masculine makeup that will definitely look like makeup and not like girly evening makeup:

1. Do not use mascara under any circumstances (only for streaks and patterns on the face)
2. If the makeup involves painting lips, then draw fangs, evil grins, etc.
3. Leave the glitter to the girls. Only matte colors for you.

And here are specific ideas that you can implement yourself.

Joker

Great and terrible! A famous comic book and film hero who is hard not to recognize. For boys, the idea is simply perfect. You will need makeup or gouache and a little hair gel to make the Joker look truly scary.

Evil clown

Although the master class is shown by a girl, this cool Halloween makeup is more suitable for guys due to its scary nature

Billy from the movie "Saw"

This cool look couldn't be more perfect for Halloween. Although very often they forget about him for some reason. Try it, your friends will just be horrified)

This concludes the article. There is still a lot of time before the holiday, but who knows when a masquerade will happen in your life?)

Any holiday or party is an occasion to try on an unusual make-up look. But if, for example, New Year's or wedding makeup still has its own unspoken rules, then Halloween makeup can be anything: eccentric, frightening or absolutely crazy. On All Hallows' Eve, we all feel a little like children - and we shouldn't suppress this feeling. Be bolder! And we will tell you how to extract maximum practical benefits from this mood. By the way, you can find some useful tips in the video below.

How to make Halloween makeup at home?

When creating complex makeup for Halloween, they often resort to the help of professional makeup. But it’s not at all necessary to buy a dozen special pigments for one image, which will then gather dust on the shelves. You can create original makeup for Halloween using regular makeup products. Read more about which ones you will need in this section.

What do you need to create makeup for Halloween? 5 means

Mascara that will help create the effect of spider legs, long-lasting blood-red lipstick to imitate bruises and a black liner that draws “dark” details - products that are sure to be found in any cosmetic bag. What else could be useful for a Halloween themed make-up?

If you only use nude eyeshadows and only allow yourself textures with shimmer on holidays, it's time to reconsider your habits. This palette of bright pink, purple and yellow shadows will not only be useful for creating a remarkable Halloween look, but it may also encourage you to experiment with makeup in your everyday life. With its help you can create, for example, fashionable eye makeup in red or pink tones. By the way, a smokey eye palette will also come in handy - what would Halloween be without black eye shadow?

You will need it if you want to create a romantic, rather than scary, look for Halloween. Why not become a forest nymph, mermaid or fairy fairy for one night? Adding a little glitter to your look is the easiest way to make your makeup festive, so don't put the jar away: New Year is just around the corner.

We don’t get tired of singing odes to this magical make-up product – and we won’t stop until the make-up base is in every cosmetic bag. Use primers for the face and eyelids so that your Halloween makeup is frightening in its authenticity, and not in the fact that it runs an hour after the party starts.

Dashingly raised “devilish” arrows, freckles like Pippi Longstocking - all this is painted with eyeliner, which can be found in most beauty brands (take a closer look at the versions from the YSL, NYX Professional Makeup and Maybelline collections). And this product will definitely not sit idle in your makeup bag when Halloween passes. In everyday life, you can use colored eyeliner to draw fashionable bright arrows for the eyelids.

Still haven't gotten yourself a set of good makeup brushes? A Halloween party is a great excuse to do that important task that you've been putting off for a long time. Explore our detailed beauty dossier on makeup brushes to create the perfect basic set for yourself.

5 Halloween Makeup Tips

Remember these simple makeup tricks that will come in handy when creating truly scary Halloween looks.

10 Easy and Simple Halloween Makeup Ideas

Before we start discussing the really difficult – and scary! – images, we suggest you look at a selection of make-up solutions that will help you create an interesting thematic make-up without extra effort.

Paint your lips with a thick foundation that is a tone lighter than your skin. Cut out a lip-shaped shape from thick paper, place it on your cheek and outline it with a permanent pencil. Fill in the empty space with long-lasting matte lipstick. Ready!

Bright shadows with strong shimmer, applied right up to the eyebrows, plus a juicy glossy lip gloss will make you the queen of the dance floor in no time.

One of the most fashionable trends of recent years is bright freckles, which can be “worn” not only in the sunny season: this beauty trick is also useful for Halloween. Apply a little loose glitter to your face, mark freckles with a pencil (we showed how to do this here) or instead of regular dots, draw hearts, as in the picture.

Barbie is the last thing on your mind when it comes to Halloween. But why not, for the sake of variety, try on the most doll-like look of all time? Paint your lips with bright pink glossy lipstick, apply purple eye shadow to your eyes and blend it into a haze (for example, like in this video). Draw a classic arrow with black eyeliner and thickly coat your eyelashes with mascara.

Under the lower eyelids, blend shadows with a bronze tint, and use them to highlight the inner corners of the eyes. Paint your lips with brick red lipstick, add a little golden glitter to them (to create a similar lip makeup, see our photo instructions). Cover your entire face generously with shining loose glitter, and set your makeup with a setting spray.

This ironic make-up look is accessible even to those who find mascara difficult to use. Use an eyeliner to draw dotted lines, then outline them with long-lasting black eyeliner. Apply matte red lipstick to your lips. Of course, this kind of makeup looks more impressive with clear arrows, but you can do without them.

The author of this image calls for silence, but you can write your own message on the motionless eyelid. It’s okay if the inscription is not too smooth, the main thing is to design it so that it is easy to read.

The superhero costume is traditionally one of the most popular at Halloween parties. Why not experiment with makeup? This bright version of the “superhero mask” will definitely attract everyone's attention!

Another interesting option for using colored eyeliner. To draw David Bowie's signature lightning bolt on your face, use paper tape. Use it to mark the boundaries of the drawing, and then it’s up to you.

Halloween is a holiday during which you need to overcome your fears. What do girls fear most? That's right, smudged lipstick. It's time to look this fear squarely in the face!
