Step-by-step instructions for applying “vampire” makeup for Halloween
Step-by-step instructions for creating a vampire girl's makeup for Halloween:
- The work begins with preparing the facial skin. It needs to be cleaned with tonic, then applied with moisturizer. If you have skin defects, they need to be disguised (a vampire's skin must be perfect). Next, apply a thick layer of foundation not only to the face, but also to the neck and ears. If you have a highlighter with reflective particles, apply it under your eyes. Set the result with powder.
Important! If you want to make your skin even paler, add a small amount of white and light blue eyeshadow to the powder.
- Apply a bronze blush to your cheekbones to create a sunken cheek effect.
- Make your eyebrows more expressive with dark shadows or a pencil.
- Apply a light shade of eye shadow to the moving eyelid. Apply a dark shade of eyeshadow to the crease of the upper eyelid and the area under the eyes. Blend everything thoroughly - this will create the illusion of dark circles under the eyes.
- Use dark purple or black shadows to line your eyeliner. Or use liquid eyeliner of a similar color.
- Using a pencil, draw a line along the growth of the lower eyelashes. If you use a black or red pencil, you will create the effect of sore eyes.
- Apply mascara to your eyelashes. If you want to make your eye makeup more expressive, you can use false eyelashes.
- Apply burgundy or other dark shade of lipstick to your lips. You can lightly smear it in the corners of your lips. And using artificial blood, draw thin streams of blood.
All you have to do is put on false fangs and colored lenses to make the image look impressive.

Creating Bites on the Neck for Vampire Girl Makeup
An important detail of a vampire's Halloween look is the bites on the neck. It is quite difficult to draw them on your own, so you can ask someone to help you. Below are instructions for creating bites:
- Using a black pencil (cosmetic), draw two dots with a diameter of 5 mm;
- there is no need to make them perfectly round - it is more appropriate to make them uneven to create the illusion of skin damage;
- use red shadows to draw a rim around the points so that the skin appears inflamed and irritated;
- apply a little purple eyeshadow - this will make the bruises appear. Blend the transitions between shadows well;
- add a drop of artificial blood and let it drain a little.
Important! If you didn't have time to make fake blood, you can use dark red lip gloss. But it flows worse, so you will have to smear it further to make it look natural and beautiful.

The image of a mermaid is very feminine. It goes with cute makeup for Halloween, but for celebrations it should be made more frightening and creepy:
- You can take the easy route and try on the makeup of the Disney little mermaid and her image, but you can really stand out at a party only by turning yourself into a real mermaid, a drowned woman, or the daughter of a sea king. Not only an azure-colored wig with long straight hair will help with this.

Children also enjoy participating in Halloween festivities. After all, they love to dress up in unusual costumes, portraying zombies, ghouls and other evil spirits.
To make the image complete, you need not only to choose a costume, but also to come up with makeup that matches the character. For example, a vampire costume will not produce the desired effect if the child does not have sharp fangs and deathly pale facial skin.
How does children's Halloween vampire makeup differ from adult makeup? Firstly, it is worth taking into account the age of the child. If this is a baby, then makeup should not scare him. Therefore, we try to make make-up for the child not scary, but rather funny. Secondly, it should be taken into account that children’s skin is thinner and more sensitive, so the cosmetics that are planned to be used must be hypoallergenic and harmless.
Important point! Before applying makeup, you need to conduct allergy tests. You need to take a little of the cosmetics that you plan to use and apply it to the skin of your baby’s hands in the area of the wrist or elbow. If after a couple of hours there is no negative reaction (rash, redness, itching), you can start working with makeup.
Types of makeup
To give your child Halloween vampire makeup, you can use several types of makeup.
The best option is face painting. These are hypoallergenic water-based paints. After application, they do not cause discomfort, do not tighten the skin, and adhere well. This product is sold in dry (in tablets) or already diluted form. The first option is more practical for use at home, since undiluted makeup has a long shelf life and can be used for several years. And this is an important factor, since face painting is not cheap.
This product is applied with sponges and brushes. To remove makeup, just wash your face.
You can also use theatrical makeup; as a rule, it does not cause allergic reactions. However, this product is made on a fat basis; the skin under a layer of makeup does not breathe. Therefore, it is better not to use this option for young children or to apply it only to small areas of the skin, and not to cover the entire face with makeup. To remove such makeup you will need cosmetic milk or oil.
Another tool that can be used to make a vampire makeup for Halloween for children is special face crayons. This product is harmless to the skin and easy to apply. However, crayons have a significant drawback - they wear off quickly, so makeup made with their help will not last long.
In addition to the tools listed, to create the image of a vampire you will need:
- cosmetic pencils of different colors (at a minimum you need to have black and red on hand);
- eyeliner and mascara;
- dark blush;
- an eyeshadow palette with several shades, it is important that the palette contains dark tones, preference for burgundy, purple, dark brown, gray, black;
- concealer.
The tools you will need are sponges, brushes of different sizes and shapes, as well as cotton swabs and correction discs.
How to apply makeup?
First of all, you need to come up with an image that will be supported by a suit, makeup and accessories. To do this, you should look at photos of children in the role of the selected character. Of course, you don’t have to copy an image created by someone else; you can simply get the basic ideas and then create an exclusive makeup with your own hands.
Let's look at how to do light vampire makeup, describing the work step by step.
First you need to prepare and protect your baby's skin. To do this, apply baby cream to your face. After about fifteen minutes, when the cream is absorbed, you can start working. Our task at this stage is to give the skin a deathly pallor. To do this, you can use white makeup, to which you can add a little blue paint. If you have freckles or pimples on your face, you need to apply concealer to them.
If you don’t have makeup on hand, you can whiten your face with a home remedy that can be prepared from flour, starch and a few drops of glycerin. This composition is applied with a sponge. If you apply it too thickly, it may crack and crumble slightly over time. However, this will make the image of a vampire even more terrible.
Then you should powder your face with baby powder, brush off excess powder with a powder puff.
Now it's time to use blush. You can use bronze or another dark shade, blush can be replaced with dark brown or gray shadows. Apply the product with a wide brush to the cheekbones and sides of the forehead and temples.
You can start working on the eyes; they should appear sunken and stand out brightly on the face. Shadows are used to highlight the eyes. If you are creating makeup for a boy, you should use gray, black or dark brown shadows. When creating makeup for a girl, you can use colored shadows - burgundy, purple.
A light shade should be applied to the moving eyelid, and a dark shade should be placed in the crease. Be sure to put dark shadows under the eyes and shade them well to create an imitation of bruises. Girls can line their eyes and draw arrows, tint their eyelashes. Boys don't need such excesses.
Eyebrows need to be highlighted brightly; you can give them an unusual shape, for example, make them broken. Or simply emphasize the natural contour with black shadows. Particular emphasis on the lips. They should be painted with bright gloss, smeared a little, to create the impression that the lips are stained with blood.
Teenagers can wear artificial onlays on their teeth to imitate fangs. When creating makeup for children, it is better to paint an imitation of fangs with face painting on the lower lip.
So, a simple Halloween vampire makeup for a child is ready, you can go to the party.
