Make-Up
Make up and Face Paint. Here again, there is SO much to choose from. If one is dressing as a somewhat NORMAL human being, he or she might want to use just regular make up to get into Character for somebody who might wear a bit more make up than you do… perhaps to add to a “starlet“ look. A Child may want to use Moms Make-up if she’s stepping into an “Adult Costume” of a womanly type. Then we have the heavier, Face Paint. It is a MUST to use White, Red and maybe a bit of Green Face Paint to make your Zombies look truly like the walking dead ( FYI: It is possible to achieve this effect with some Pale Face Powder, Red Lipstick, and a little Green Eye Shadow.) (isn't he lovely? :-)
 ~~ Have fun painting your face, or the face of someone else donning the appropriate Costume in the look of a Clown…Be as creative as you’d like! Be a Hippie and paint Flowers on your cheeks….and even on your Husbands ..If he’ll LET you! Ü. The CostumeZone.com carries an enormous array of face paints and Make-up...EVEN Scar Tissue (latex of course ). If you are going to be an animal, such as a Tiger perhaps?, If you have no mask, just paint your face with orange and black stripes, add a few whiskers.. and THERE YOU GO! “ Meow…”
Temporary Tattoos are also a type of Make-up I think. I will connect you to stores to find Childrens Stick-on Tattoos or more elaborate AND more complicated to apply… Adult Stick-on Tattoos. For the more serious minded… but who still do not want something more “permanent”, there are “Airbrush Tattoos” that are becoming very popular. Usually these need be applied by artists familiar in the trade who can be found working booths at many festivals and fairs. If this is your choice…check any Fairs near you, such as “Renaissance Fair”, to see it there IS, in fact, going to be an “Airbrush Tattoo Artist” Booth. Then GO GET TATTOOED and all the better if it’s at a time when you will also be dressing in a Pirates or a Biker Costume ! Here is an example of a few temporary "Pirate Tattoos" that the kids might enjoy...OR try some more professional looking Sleeve Tattoos:  
Through these pages I hope you will find all of your Make Up and Face Paint needs. I will show you some for the little ones to use and some for the more “professional” minded. All will be Non-Toxic and Safe to use according to their labels. Please be aware though that some people are allergic to things that they have yet to put on their skin and may be surprised if they get a reaction. All I'm asking is that you use these products wisely. Especially in children, you may want to try applying a product to a small patch of skin (for about 20 minutes) before covering a whole area. If redness or complaints of itchiness occur cleanse area immediately with soap and warm water. If a rash or something worse appears call a physician and follow his/her instructions. It would probably be something as simple as applying a cortisone ointment/cream. Like I said above, This happens to SOME people. These products are well tested and there is usually no problem with them at all so ENJOY!
