It’s not for everyday, but when the occasion calls for horror makeup, get your cosmetics out and let your creativity fly. From a realistic zombie to a scary clown, dramatic Halloween-style looks are easy to create once you know how.<\/p>\n

Applying Basic Horror Face Makeup<\/h2>\n

Your makeup look can vary widely. You can go for a light application, which may only take minutes, or you can go all out in creating a brand new face, which may take hours. The more involved your horror makeup, the more likely you’ll need stage paint or a special kit. Regular makeup is fine, but may not last as long. If you’re planning to play a character all night long, you’ll want makeup that lasts.<\/p>\n

Eyes<\/h3>\n

This is an area where detail counts. It can make or break your scary look. You’ll probably veer toward dark colors when creating a horror look around the eyes. Good color choices include black, charcoal gray, indigo, violet and even red or pink.<\/p>\n

To create that sunken eye look, apply dark colors on the upper lids and underneath the eyes in a wide circle. Blend well.<\/p>\n

Light-colored eyes contrast well with dark colors, but some people go even further by wearing colored contact lenses in unnatural shades especially for the occasion.<\/p>\n

Cheeks<\/h3>\n

Want sunken cheeks when you go out as a ghoul? Horror makeup can help you achieve a suitably scary look. This is when knowing how to contour helps a great deal.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Suck in your cheeks to identify the hollow part. This is where you’ll apply your makeup.<\/li>\n
  2. Apply blush or stage paint in your choice of color to the hollow. Good colors include gray or brown for a ghoulish look.<\/li>\n
  3. Blend well with your fingers or a cosmetics sponge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    However, if you want a pale tinge to your face overall, stick with foundation that’s lighter than your skin tone or a thin application of white or other light stage paint.<\/p>\n
