Face paint can be found at any grocery store, Halloween or makeup shop.
10 tips for using costume makeup
- Value your paints - don't leave them lying out, especially if you're using expensive costume paint
- Sponge, don't brush paint on a large area
- Be patient and think thin - let paint dry before adding another color. Also paint that's applied too thick can crack
- Visualize the finished face
- Try special effects - face paint can work like glue to stick on fake noses
- Use stencils if you're not confident in your freehand painting skills
- Use temporary tattoos, they're even faster to apply than stencils
- Use a mirror
- Stock up on tissues for wiping your hands, brushes, etc. Baby wipes work best

Step 1: Use a makeup sponge to spread cream, a few shades lighter, all over the face, ears and neck. Step 2: Dab powder all over in order to give the face a better "dead" pale effect. Each time liquid makeup is added, powder is needed to keep the liquid makeup from coming off easily.Step 3: Use black paint and make a circle wherever the bullet wound will be placed. Draw four lines around the circle to make the skin appear torn open.Step 4: Mix in red with some purple to get a darker blood red, and cover the black outline.Step 5: Make a thick, red liquid, or buy fake blood from a Halloween shop, tilt back, dab on the blood, come back up and let the blood ooze down a little. Step 6: Add some blue to the lips, cheeks, eyelids and forehead. |
