Easy make-up for yourself for Halloween

Ugly scars, bruises, black circles under the eyes, pale skin... - it seems that makeup for a Halloween party can only be done by professionals. However, if you wish, you can create it yourself at home. We share ideas and advice.

For memorable and bright makeup for All Saints' Day, it is not necessary to complete professional makeup artist courses or sign up for a beauty salon in advance. It is enough to have basic drawing skills and suitable cosmetics (for example, face painting). Armed with inspiration, free time and patience, you can create the desired image yourself. First, some practical tips:

1. When choosing a character, it is better to immediately abandon technically complex, cinematic makeup: creating them requires certain experience, professional cosmetics and a lot of time. In addition, under too thick a layer of cosmetics, it will be difficult for the skin to breathe throughout the holiday party. Therefore, technically simple, but effective and bright makeup should be preferred.
2. Before using special makeup cosmetics, you should check it for allergic reactions by applying a little to the inside of your wrist. If after an hour the allergy does not appear, then cosmetics can be safely used on the face. But before doing makeup, it is better to put on a costume, because then parts of the clothes can ruin the makeup, and you will have to start all over again.
3. In order for cosmetics to stay on your face longer, you can use a special makeup fixing spray. Instead, good old baby powder is also suitable, which is used to lightly treat the face after the end of the make-up.
4. If you plan to attach additional details to the skin that emphasize the image (warts, false nose, scars, chin, etc.), then this must be done before applying the foundation. It is advisable to dry each layer of makeup thoroughly, for example, with cold air from a hairdryer or fan.
5. It would be a good idea to first draw the intended image on plain paper in order to clearly understand the order of applying lines and colors, and at the same time train your hand and remember the main stages of makeup. Let's look at the most successful and simple ways to apply makeup for Halloween.

1. Stitched mouth

This is perhaps one of the simplest makeup tricks that can be used to create various Halloween looks. A sewn-up mouth can easily become part of the makeup of a skeleton, a monster doll, a zombie, a ghost, or an independent thematic feature. The trick can be performed in different ways. The simplest: on a white base, draw vertical seams across the lips with black eyeliner.

For authenticity, real threads will be useful. But first, use eyeliner to mark dots above the upper and lower lips. Eyelash glue is applied over these points, with the help of which pre-prepared small pieces (no more than 3 cm long) of thread are secured. To make them stick better, they are secured on top with liquid latex.

2. An animated doll

Everyone imagines the image of a scary doll in their own way. But the easiest way is to create makeup for him, focusing on the eyes and lips. Using a layer of white pencil increases the size of the eyes. Having generously outlined the resulting eye line with a black pencil, you need to glue large false eyelashes along it.

Natural eyebrows are hidden under a layer of makeup base and bleached with powder. Two thick black stripes are painted on top of them. If desired, black eyeliner can be used to add tears, a sewn-up mouth, or stripes extending from the eyes or lips. Rich pink blush on the cheeks and bright lipstick complete the look.

3. Sinister Clown

Due to the increased popularity of bloodthirsty clowns in movies, these characters are increasingly appearing at Halloween masquerades. If you want to try it on yourself, then first you should apply regular clown makeup on your face, and then adjust some of its details, giving the image the necessary accents. The asymmetry technique works especially well: for example, one eye can be made large and irregular with the help of black shadows and eyeliner by adding a colored lens. Or smear one of the corners of your mouth with red lipstick to represent a bruise.

A very simple option: generously highlight your eyes with black shadows and draw out your lips with bright red lipstick on a white background.

4. Vampire grin

One of the most popular and attractive characters at many masquerades is the vampire. It is chosen by both female and male representatives. It is important to remember that the surface of the face in this makeup should be almost flawless, smooth and pale.

In addition to false fangs and deathly pale skin, it is necessary to emphasize the eyes and, of course, the mouth with the remains of the blood of the vampire’s victim. Black eyeliner, lipstick and lip pencil in bright red shades, and the lightest possible powder will be used.

5. Bloodthirsty Zombie

It is quite difficult to create professional makeup for corpses that have risen from the graves. It is hardly possible to do without layers of artificial skin, blood, additional pads and special cosmetics. But for home make-up, the task can be simplified a little. To emphasize flaky, sagging skin, you need to apply light powder on top of the liquid makeup base, or, conversely, apply makeup paint on top of the powder or powder base. The effect of skin decomposition will help to show blurry transitions of shades of red, white, gray, black and green.

The easiest way to demonstrate the bloodthirsty nature of the makeup is to use artificial blood. If you don’t have it on hand, there is a simple homemade recipe: add grated fresh beets with water, cook, adding a spoonful of sugar and vinegar for rich color and thickness. You can safely decorate your costume and makeup with this mixture. For example, draw a bloody wound on the forehead, smear the mouth and neck area with artificial blood. Complete the look with black circles under the eyes and cloudy insert lenses.

6. Protruding veins

They can complement the makeup of different looks, but such veins look impressive on their own. You need to stock up on black and white eyeliner, black eyeliner, black and silver eye shadow. To begin, create a wide layer of eyeliner and dark shadows around the eye line. Silvery liquid shadows in the inner corner of the eyes and under the lower lash line will add special expressiveness to the look. Then up and down from the eyes, using a black and white pencil, you need to carefully draw fine lines of veins. Complete the look with black lipstick and eyebrows.

Veins can be drawn not only on the face, but also on the neck and other open areas of the body.

7. Pale Skeleton

Skeletal makeup suggests emphasized geometry and strict lines. From the entire palette, two colors will be used: black and white. It is enough to highlight the black eye sockets, the tip of the nose and the corners of the mouth on a bright white base. Instead of carefully drawing the jaw, you can use the “sewn up mouth” technique. It is logical to continue the makeup in the neck area, emphasizing the line of the spine.

In a suit, it is original to use two T-shirts - white on top of black, or vice versa. But first, on the T-shirt that will be on top, you need to cut lines imitating a human skeleton.

8. Mysterious Ghost

A terrifying girl from a well, a lonely guardian of an abandoned house or the ghost of an old witch... - these images will also be appropriate for the All Saints Day holiday. Unlike zombies, the makeup here is much simpler. On a white or pale gray base, accents are made on the eyes, black eyebrows and lips. You can create the effect of dark circles under the eyes by shading black eyeliner or eyeliner. The look will be complemented by colored lenses in blue, black or dull gray shades.

9. Unzipping Face

This is a real trend among fans of scary makeup. Thanks to the neatly glued zipper to the face, the effect of unfastened skin is created, from under which bare muscles peek out. To begin with, you should choose a zipper that fits the size of your face and determine which part of the face will be bloody and which part will be normal. Then, using special glue made from mastic or liquid latex, you need to attach the zipper to the face and seal its fabric edges with napkins.

Red face painting is generously applied to the part of the face that will be bloodied. To add texture, this is done with a sponge or napkin. Faux blood and a little dark paint are added on top of the paint to make it more convincing. Using a zipper, you can reveal only a small part of the face: for example, one eye or just the mouth.

10. Swamp Witch

Getting the look of a witch is quite easy - you just need to enhance the dark shades in your eye and mouth makeup. But often at traditional Halloween masquerades there is an image of a swamp witch, differing from the usual one by the presence of green skin. To create such makeup, you will need to use green aqua paint as a base on the entire face and neck (and ideally on all open areas of the body). On top of it, eyes, eyebrows and lips are outlined in black or purple. If desired, you can draw a wart on your nose.

“Two-faced” makeup will look original when the face is divided into exactly two halves: regular and painted green. Dark purple lips and eye shadow can bring both sides of the face together. It is better to use green shadows on a flesh-colored background, and purple shadows on a green background.

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?)

Halloween or the holiday of evil spirits began to be widely celebrated in our country relatively recently. But the holiday quickly gained popularity, as it is a great opportunity to have fun and show your creativity by choosing a costume for some “evil spirits.” To complete the look, you will need to apply appropriate makeup. What simple Halloween makeup can you easily do at home? It turns out that there are many options that you can easily implement yourself.

Looking at photos of various makeup options for Halloween parties, many girls will be saddened to think that they will not be able to create such “creepy beauty” with their own hands. Indeed, in order to do complex makeup you need to have artistic abilities and considerable experience. In addition, you need to have special products that not every girl can afford to buy for one party a year.

But don’t be upset, even the simplest Halloween makeup done at home will help create the right atmosphere for the holiday. To create it, you can use the most ordinary cosmetics, as well as sparkles, rhinestones and various accessories that can be bought at prank supply stores.

Doll image

It’s quite easy to create the image of a doll yourself. But first you need to figure out what kind of character she will have. It could be a sad doll that its owner abandoned long ago, or an evil doll that comes to life at night to do its dirty deeds.

Here are instructions explaining how to do simple makeup for this look:

1. Step one. First of all, you need to whiten your face. For this, it would be good to use theatrical makeup, but if you don’t have it, you can get by with regular foundation and very light-colored powder. To disguise skin imperfections, you should use concealer. You can draw freckles on your nose and upper cheeks with a brown pencil.

1. Step two. The doll's eyes should be expressive and large, and the eyebrows should be clearly drawn. It is better to make eyebrows dark, but not necessarily black; you can use a purple or blue tone. Long and wide arrows should be drawn on the eyelids and shadows of bright colors should be applied. If possible, you can stick on false eyelashes, or simply apply thick layers of mascara on your own.

1. Step three. The doll's blush should be bright. You need to pull in your cheeks and apply paint into the indentations on your cheeks.

1. Step four. Lips can be painted with any bright lipstick from pink to black. It is advisable to give the lips a “bow” shape, making them fuller and shorter. To do this, cover the lips with foundation, and then draw a new contour, which is painted over with lipstick.

In principle, the makeup can be considered complete, but if you want, you can “become a little mischievous.” For example, make “bruises” on the neck using blue and purple shadows. Or draw a scar with traces of a seam on the cheek with a cosmetic pencil.

Witch image

One of the most popular Halloween party looks for girls is the witch look. This heroine can be different, because witches can appear both in the guise of a creepy old woman and in the guise of a young charmer.

To do a simple witch makeup for Halloween, you need:

1. whiten your face using a light tone and powder;

1. draw long dark eyebrows with shadows;

1. outline the eyes with a black pencil;

1. apply bright shadows (purple, green, dark blue), you can use shimmering shades or add a little glitter;

1. lips can be made either bright or, conversely, very pale, it all depends on the idea.

You can do vampire makeup in the same way. The only exception is that the vampire's lips must be blood red. A drop of blood can be depicted in the corner of the mouth. The look will be completed with dental overlays in the form of long fangs. Such overlays are sold in “funny horror” stores and are inexpensive.

The image of the little mermaid

It's quite easy to create an original little mermaid makeup. This gentle and romantic image will fit perfectly into the collection of “evil spirits”.

You need to start creating makeup again with tone. The little mermaid must have perfect skin, so we consistently apply foundation, apply tone, and mask imperfections with concealer. Finally, powder the skin. It is clear that a resident of the deep sea should not have tanned skin, so it is worth choosing light-colored foundations. It is better to take powder with pearlescent particles to create the effect of radiant skin.

The shadows should also be pearlescent; you should choose blue-green shades. Shadows should cover not only the moving eyelid, but also the space up to the eyebrow. We draw arrows on our eyes, forming the so-called cat's gaze. Apply a little glitter to the eyebrows.

The main highlight of this makeup is the “scales” on the skin. To create this detail you will need a mesh (this could be unnecessary tights with a large mesh). We cut out a template from mesh fabric, apply it to the skin and apply it on top with a brush or sponge with blue or turquoise shadows.

There is no need to cover your entire face with “scales”. It is enough to make separate areas on the forehead, cheekbones and neck. Additionally, you can use rhinestones or sparkles so that the “scales” shimmer mysteriously in the light of the lamps.

Spider Queen Image

Another option for fairly simple makeup to do at home. We do regular evening makeup using shades of gray-blue or purple tones. Then, using a black, finely sharpened pencil above the eyebrows or at the outer corners of the eyes, we draw cobwebs.

To complete the look, you can buy several self-adhesive rubber spiders of different sizes from the store in advance and decorate your forehead and cheekbones with them.

Summary

To create a memorable and beautiful makeup for a Halloween party, you do not need to have the skills of a make-up artist or makeup artist. A little imagination - and your image will be incredibly attractive in its frightening beauty.
