Stuck for some fun halloween make up ideas? We absolutely love getting dressed up at this time of year, so we've put together a couple of looks for you to recreate at home. They're both deceivingly quick and easy, you'll see!
THE ZIPPED FACE (approx. 15 mins)
What you'll need:
- Red face paint (we got ours on amazon)
- Red glitter (we got ours from The Gypsy Shrine)
- Fake blood (also amazon)
- A zip (We got ours from an arts and crafts shop in London)
- Eyelash glue (also from amazon)
- Hair gel (boots)
- Paint brush
Method (you'll need two people for this one, one artist and one student):
- The student lays down whilst the artist puts the eyelash glue on the sides of the zip and sticks it across the student's face.
- Once stuck, paint the skin inside the zip with red face paint until it's completely covered.
- Then apply some fake blood and red glitter in splotches until it looks creepy enough but also glamorous.
- Once the student stands up again the zip should be well and truly stuck.
DAY OF THE DEAD (approx. 30 mins)
What you'll need:
- White face paint (amazon)
- Black eyeliner pen (amazon)
- Blue glitter (amazon)
- Day of the dead stickers (TopShop)
- Gems (amazon)
- Eyelash glue (amazon)
- Sponge (amazon)
- Hair Gel (boots)
- Paint brush
- Gypsy Shrine gems (optional)
Method:
- Cover the entire face with a thick layer of white face paint using the sponge.
- Stick the forehead and eye pieces on from the day of the dead set
- paint a little bit of hair gel inside the eye circles then with the same paint brush cover the area in blue glitter.
- Use the black eyeliner pen to do all of the detailing as in the picture.
- Apply the gems on the forehead by putting eyelash glue on the back of them and sticking them on.
- Add the gems to the chest last.
