Last Minute Halloween Makeup Tutorial Ideas

So you've left your Halloween makeup to the last minute? Or maybe your stuck for inspiration? Not to worry, I have come up with some different tutorials that are simple and easy to do.

This Halloween tutorial is quite a wearable Halloween look and it a lot more simple than it looks.

Green Witch Halloween Makeup Tutorial

Image
I saw this look on a TV programme a few weeks ago and it gave me inspiration for a Halloween tutorial because I was stuck for inspiration. For every Halloween as a child I always went as a witch because I was just so uncreative back then (hopefully my creativity has improved as I have gotten older?) so this tutorial is themed around the witch either from Wicked or Wizard of Oz and I used varied green shades.

Gothic Vampire Halloween Makeup Tutorial

This is a dark and intense vampire themed makeup look that has both dark eyes and lips. I wanted to do a dark Halloween look compared to the other ones I have done this year and this one is a very intense black look with a hint of burgundy and red.

How to Use Face Paints

For an upcoming Halloween tutorial I will be using face paints and I have never used face paints before then so to fit into that I decided to create a guide of the basic steps of how to use face paints. Generally, the idea is quite simple but there are some things to consider when using them. These tips are from the Snazaroo face paint website but are the same for all types of paints from different brands.
