Children's face painting

For the youngest guests of the Halloween masquerade, it is recommended to use face painting, i.e. harmless hypoallergenic paints for skin. Believe me, the child will enjoy this drawing process, and the transformation into a kitten itself will bring a lot of pleasure.

Applying a drawing to the face is not a difficult task, so even those adults who cannot call themselves artists can cope with it. This body art is done in several steps:

1. 
   
   
   
   Above the child’s upper lip, use white paint to draw the base for a cat’s face.
2. Paint the tip of the nose with black paint.
3. We draw a thin strip from the nose down to the upper lip, and round off the lines around the white base. The result was cat cheeks.
4. We will draw dots and antennae on them.
5. The bridge of the nose can also be painted white.
6. Now we can draw the kitten’s face itself.
7. We draw the outlines of the ears above the eyebrows, draw a tongue on the lower lip, and highlight the fur and ears in black. By the way, you can choose any color of wool.

The color and shape of the muzzle is a matter of taste. It can be plain, striped or spotted.

At the same time, you need to take into account that the shade and texture you choose matches the suit as a whole. For example, if you chose leopard print, then a tiger stripe suit will not be the best option.

Below we have presented a selection of photos of face painting for children, which will help you choose the appropriate motif for the image of a cat for Halloween.

The final touch is a Halloween cat costume and accessories.

There can be several options for a catwoman costume, and all of them will look impressive and bright at any carnival. The following dress models are considered the most popular:

1. Catwoman a la Michelle Pfeiffer. Those who saw Tim Burton's film masterpiece "Batman Returns" probably remember Catwoman's seductive latex costume. To recreate this look, you'll need a black, fitted jumpsuit in a glossy fabric with a long zip at the front.

You can replace it with tight black pants and a turtleneck. Don't forget to sew white stripes all over the suit. A mask, black gloves (preferably with fake nails glued on top) and long heeled boots will complete the outfit.

2. Heroine Halle Berry. The image of Catwoman from the film of the same name differs in a couple of details: instead of a jumpsuit, she wears black tight-fitting trousers (you can replace them with leggings), a black latex bra with wide straps and long gloves. You need to tie two black belts around your waist, and put a black half mask on your head, which can be sewn from leather or black glossy fabric. Complete this look with long heeled boots and a whip.

3. An Anne Hathaway-inspired cat look from Black Knight Rises. For this one, you'll also need a black catsuit (or leggings and a turtleneck), heeled boots, gloves, a black leather belt and a masquerade mask.

A distinctive feature of this image is the cat ears, which can be made from two cardboard triangles, vinyl overlays and clips. A unique highlight will be a toy pistol, which will add brutality to the image.

Let's add that one of the popular options for a Halloween look is the hero of Carroll's book - the Cheshire Cat. The makeup of this image is distinguished by a peculiar “smile”.

If you don’t want to copy already famous movie characters, you can try to create your own version of this image. Don't be afraid to experiment with costumes, makeup and... accessories, which will be discussed later.

So, with accessories the matter is simple. They can be selected from the following list:

1. 
   
   
   
   Lenses. If you have the opportunity, you can order “cat” lenses in the online store.
2. Tail. This attribute of a cat costume is quite popular. Making it yourself is quite possible. To do this, you will need black fabric, from which you will sew the tail. You can insert wire inside it to give the desired shape.
3. Ears. They can be made from cardboard, flexible plastic, vinyl or thick leather fabric. You can attach them in different ways, for example, on a hoop or on hair clips. One option is a cape with decorative ears.

Manicure. If you're not wearing black gloves, you can simply paint your nails black. Do you have short nails? No problem. Just stick on artificial tips. It is desirable that they are sharp and as long as possible.

Options hairstyles maybe several. You can put your hair in a ponytail or let it down, straightening it with a special hair straightener. If you have short hair, just style it neatly.

Follow the above recommendations, and your costume will stand out noticeably and brightly against the backdrop of the “evil spirits” outfits for Halloween. The image of a catwoman in itself is mystical and mysterious, so it will come in handy at a carnival party on All Saints' Day.

And in conclusion, a few more photos of successful cat images for Halloween.

Greetings, friends! It is believed that cats are creatures that have a subtle connection with the world of otherworldly forces. Many believe that graceful animals with soothing purrs know the way to the world of spirits and even take walks there from time to time. And if so, it means that cat makeup for Halloween, complete with attributes and costume, fully corresponds to the theme of the holiday. The main thing is to choose your own makeup option and practice before the party in front of the mirror so that everything turns out just right. I will tell you and show you with examples how to do makeup at home. You'll see how easy it can be!

Preparing to create cat makeup for Halloween: what you need

There is a very easy way to transform into a cat. You need to put on a mask with ears, apply makeup on your lips and secure your tail.

But we will take a different path and learn how to create a full-fledged image of a cat on the face using professional cosmetics.

For this you will need:

1. light-colored foundation;
2. corrector;
3. blush in several shades of brown;
4. pencil for correcting the shape of the eyebrows;
5. shades of brown tones;
6. eye pencils;
7. black eyeliner;
8. mascara;
9. lip contour pencil;
10. bright colored lipstick;
11. shine.

Please note that before applying makeup you will need to prepare your skin. Use your usual set of products to cleanse, tone and moisturize and only then proceed to create a foundation.

What is the difference between “cat” makeup

Look into the cat's eyes. What do you see? Yes, the main difference is the vertical pupil and the charcoal sphere along the contour of the eyelids. The cat's gaze is fascinating and hypnotizing; it is deep, predatory and cautious at the same time. You need to achieve the same effect in your cat's makeup. To do this, in addition to cosmetics and makeup, you will need special lenses with a vertical pupil. Only then will the makeup be complete.

Algorithm for applying “cat” makeup:

1. Apply the base tone to your face to thoroughly disguise imperfections and achieve the most even base possible. Be extremely careful to achieve the desired facial sculpting effect. Use blush to highlight your cheekbones.
2. Drawing the correct cat's eye. Prep your eyelid with moisturizer and primer for better eyeshadow adhesion. Apply light shadows and shade the area from the beginning of eyelash growth to the eyebrows, touching the bridge of the nose. Highlight the eyes and under the lower eyelids. It is important to achieve soft transitions with a slight mysterious haze.
3. It is easy to give a cat-like shape to the eye using arrows. Use eyeliner or makeup pencil. Draw a thin line from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner, both in the upper and lower parts, extending slightly into the bridge of the nose. If you do everything right, you will get a beautiful feline look that is seductive and hypnotizing.
4. The inside of the eyelids also needs to be painted over with a black pencil, paying special attention to areas of hair growth. This area should produce dense black lines with no gaps.

Now, as for eyebrows and eyelashes. Look at the cat. Do you see her long, curled, fluffy eyelashes? You shouldn't have them either. But you can still tint your natural eyelashes slightly, giving your look expressiveness. The main thing is to move the brush towards the outer corner to emphasize the almond-shaped cat shape of the eye. You can also add a few clumps of false eyelashes to each corner of your eyes.

If you still decide to be a real cat, do not paint your eyelashes and eyebrows at all. Eyebrows drawn on top of natural ones (hide with an underlying foundation) in the form of cat hair with tousled hairs along the contour and long in the center look much more advantageous.

Cat's face: draw with your own hands

Beautiful eye makeup, even in a “cat” style, is not everything. A carefully drawn face will help you achieve a resemblance to a cute animal.

Proceed as follows:

1. Apply a light foundation to your prepared face to conceal your lips.
2. Whiten the area above the upper lip with matte light loose powder or gloss.
3. Use a cosmetic marker to draw a cat's nose. Distribute the color so that it goes along the wings of the nose, but does not touch the base. Shade the columella by drawing a thin vertical line towards the upper lip.
4. Treat the area of ​​the folds from the edge of the mouth to the wings of the nose with light gray shadows.
5. The cat's mouth is compact without a hint of vulgarity. Use a cosmetic pencil to mark the pit of the upper lip and the center of the lower lip. You can paint the top of the mouth black and leave the bottom pink.
6. Mark the points on the face from which the mustache will “grow”. Use a black or brown pencil or eyeliner.

Catwoman: Makeup with Mask

A mask on the face adds mystery and significantly simplifies the process of creating makeup. Put on your cat mask before applying makeup. You need to apply paint on your face in the same order as without a mask, paying attention to the lips, nose and nasolabial triangle.

But you can draw the eyes less carefully; under the mask, the makeup will be almost invisible. The main thing is to use special “cat” lenses with vertical pupils.

By the way, if there is no mask, but the task is to create the image of a catwoman, paint her with your own hands, as in the picture. Tuck your hair under a black bandage, completely open your forehead and temples, don’t forget about the expressive white stitches on the mask, spectacular eye makeup with clear black eyebrows and lips. The lip gradient based on the black and red combination of lipsticks looks original.

Highlight your eyes with dark gray and black shadows from the upper part and under the lower eyelid. You see arrows from the inner corner to the bridge of the nose, “closing” the eye, from the outer to the temple, “raising” the gaze. Your eyes will become even more expressive if you apply white or silver shadows at the inner corners. Under the lower eyelid, apply a few strokes of dark eyeliner, similar to the stripes on a cat's fur.

Non-standard images of cats: makeup features

Despite its predictability, the image of a cat can also shock. To do this, it’s enough to move away a little from the cliché and bring something of yourself into it. So, do you like to catch the admiring glances of men? Choose the image of a sexy cat, an Egyptian queen with a beautiful long black ponytail, almond-shaped eyes, bright lips and always a slight animal print on the face, for example, in the cheekbones or forehead. This makeup looks unusual and organic.

However, you can go even further and transform into a predatory cat completely. Become a tigress, lioness or silver lynx and surprise everyone at the Halloween party with a non-standard approach to makeup.

Don't forget about cat lenses and wigs that match the color of your main makeup. If you cannot find lenses with a vertical pupil, use green or yellow ones. And yes, don’t forget about feline plasticity and grace, practice at home in front of the mirror, hone your movements and go ahead – conquer the people at the party!

How to do cat makeup for Halloween?

Without using a mask

1. Apply foundation. The shade can be one that you use daily! If you want to disguise yourself, then choose a lighter tone. Some makeup artists believe that it is better to create an all-white gothic face using white powder.

2. Catwoman makeup excludes pink blush. But for a greater resemblance to a cat and the effect of sunken cheeks, shade your cheekbones with a dark beige or brown color.

3. The eyes must be highlighted especially carefully! The look of a catwoman should be bewitching and sly:

1. Apply light beige or pale pink shadows to the entire surface of the upper eyelid;

1. draw a thick black line on the crease of the upper eyelid with a pencil, and extend it to the tip of the upper eyebrow. Darken it slightly and blend it with dark shadows;

1. Apply white shadows to the entire moving eyelid, including the inner corner of the eye. Extend the white stripe to the end of the black arrow. Two contrasting lines - dark and light - will look very expressive and unusual;

1. apply light shadows to the upper part of the eyelid up to the eyebrows, slightly shading the upper border of the black line;

1. draw the eyes along the contour. Slightly lengthen the corners, giving the eyes an almond shape;

1. Apply black mascara in several layers. For greater effect, you can use false eyelashes.

4. Give your lips definition with a red liner. Lipstick can be blood red, cherry or pale pink. Apply glass effect gloss to the center of your lower lip.

5. Draw a mustache of the desired length with a black pencil.

6. Draw a triangle or circle at the tip of the nose. Use a charcoal or grayish pencil to color it.

Using a mask

In movies and magazine photos, catwomen use a mask for their appearance. An additional attribute adds color! In this case, it will take less time to prepare for the party, because the closed areas of the face will not have to be decorated!

The makeup technique is the same as in the first case. You should put on a mask before applying makeup. You need to pay attention only to that part of the face that is exposed.

First, apply a light foundation. Eyebrows are drawn with a pencil - black lines with a sharp break in the middle. Next, all stages of makeup are repeated as necessary on open areas of the face.

What else is needed for a successful cat image?

To complete your Halloween cat look, you need to consider a few more important details!

1. Cloth. Most often, black outfits are chosen. After all, it is the black cat that frightens people so much by crossing their path! The graceful animal has earned the fame of a mystical creature! Wear black fitted pants and a top. A black dress or skirt with a top is also quite suitable for a girl. A leather suit will look more impressive.

1. Shoes. Black shoes are perfect for a dark, fitted outfit.

1. Hairstyle. There is no need to visit the hairdresser, get curls and perms. A ponytail or braid will perfectly complement the look!

1. Ears and tail. You can buy them at a carnival costume store or make them yourself!

1. Manicure. Sharp, thin, black claws do not need to be extended specifically for one evening. It is unlikely that they will delight you and those around you in everyday life. An acceptable option is false nails, which will serve as an excellent addition to your look. Then you can throw them in the trash without regret!

A few final tips!

1. Buy special contact lenses that will change your eye color. Cat eyes are most suitable for the look. Bright green lenses will look original and bright.

1. Practice applying makeup a day or two before the intended party.

1. Let your imagination run wild! Why not transform into close relatives of cats - tigress, leopard, cheetah, lynx!

1. Don't forget that being a cat requires certain behavior! The body must be flexible. All movements are graceful, slightly daring. The look is cunning, bold, seductive!

Why is the image of a cat so popular at such holidays? Maybe because in the character of every girl there is a cat’s cunning and slyness, which from time to time changes to softness and affection?
