Homemade Halloween Make Up, Bruises & Blood
by Amanda Formaro
Dressing up for Halloween is so much
fun! Enjoy it even more knowing that you and your little goblins prepared
their faces for the frightful night. Face paint is inexpensive when you make
it yourself, and it's safer than a mask that can obscure vision. Try these
ghoulish recipes yourself!
Stir together starch and cold cream until well blended. Add water and stir,
then add food coloring.
APPLICATION
Wash your face and any area that you will be applying the makeup to. Dry
thoroughly. Use fingertips to spread onto large areas. Use a small paint
brush to paint designs on face. Removes with soap and water. Store in airtight
container.
Homemade Bruises
You will need:
deep blue powder eyeshadow
charcoal or smoke gray powder eyeshadow
shimmery green powder eyeshadow
make up brush
Using a blot of deep blue powder eye shadow, apply with a wet make up brush.
Use your fingertips to add blots of charcoal gray and blue shadows. Touch
up the edges with a shimmery olive green. Smudge the bruise to complete.
Homemade Blood
You will need:
1/2 bottle of light corn syrup
very hot water
squirt of liquid soap
red food coloring
blue or green food coloring (optional)
Pour light corn syrup into a bowl and add hot water sparingly, adding and
stirring until you have the right consistency. Add a squirt of liquid soap
to make it the blood easy to clean off later. Tint with red food coloring.
You may add a drop of blue or green if you like to make the blood a darker
color. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Smear on as needed!
