Halloween makeup can make or break your costume. It’s pretty easy to create a custom costume look with makeup, but it does take a bit of thought and skill. First, make sure you pull long hair back, start with a clean face and a little light moisturizer for the Halloween makeup to stick to.

What Halloween makeup look are you going for?

Vampire: Cover your face in very light powder. Slick your hair back and draw a widow’s peak on your forehead, and outline your eyebrows with a dark pencil. Outline your eyes with liner, and even smudge a bit of red lipstick or theatre makeup underneath them. Put some fake blood around your mouth or dripping from one corner, and don’t forget the fangs!

Old person: Cover your skin with a light foundation or concealer. Gently draw lines on your face with a dark eyeliner, and blend with your finger. Powder over them with light powder, or even baby powder.

Witch: Choose whether you want to be a green or white faced witch, and cover your face with Halloween makeup or powder. Use the Old Person makeup techniques to draw lines on your face, and paint a black wart on your nose, or stick on a fake one for a more realistic witchy look.

Zombie: Cover your face with light foundation and powder, and outline your eyes with dark pencil. For a simpler zombie makeup look, use dark liner to paint scars and bruises on your face. Smudge some red lipstick or theater makeup under your eyes. For a more complicated, but stellar zombie face, use modeling wax and spirit gum – available at any store that sells Halloween costumes and makeup.

Stick a thin layer of the spirit gum on your face, then take the modeling wax and shape it into the size of the scar or tear you want on your face. Blend the edges into your skin, making them very flat, and use some foundation to blend the bruise/scar into your skin color. Then, add some purple, gray or red makeup to complete the un-dead look. You can carve a circle into your bruise and apply fake blood to look even worse – no, even better.

A geisha girl costume is fairly easy to put together, and is super glamorous and elegant. Here are all the tips you need to do geisha girl makeup to complete your look!

1) FIrst, cleanse your face. Moisturize lightly so the foundation will go on more easily.

2) Apply foundation to your face with a sponge, the paler the better. Lightly powder your face with a light colored loose or pressed powder.

3) Apply rouge or blush on the fullest part of your cheeks.

4) Apply eyeliner to your top lids, and underneath your eyes if you want. Blend a silver or blue shade of eyeshadow as high as you want – to the brow works too. Make sure you blend it really well towards the outer corner of your eyes and brows.

5) Curl your eyelashes, and apply a few coats of mascara.

6) Apply red lipstick to your lips. Longlasting lipstick is best, or put a coat of foundation on your lips beforehand to set the lipstick.
