The spookiest night of the year has arrived—kids and adults alike enjoy dressing up and celebrating the night of the dead. More people each year look for the perfect Halloween makeup to impress.
If you’ve decided to wear a terrifying costume and plan to use makeup, keep these tips in mind:
Tips for a great Halloween makeup look:
- Always buy high-quality makeup from specialized stores. Avoid DIY hacks that could harm your skin.
- Test your products a few days in advance to make sure they don’t cause allergies or reactions.
- Think through your full look: consider buying a wig or using safe colored hair spray.
- Hydrate your skin before applying makeup. Halloween looks often require heavy shadows and face paint, which can damage the skin.
- Use a good primer to ensure your makeup stays flawless.
- Creating realistic fake wounds takes time. Practice on your arm or hand first, then try it on your face.
- If you’re wearing colored contact lenses, make sure they’re safe and certified.
