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.
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…”.....or "ROAR!"? One (well probably more than "one"Ü) word or warning about Costume make-up. Not all skin can tolerate it, so we must be careful in applying it... 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. I don't mean to make anyone fearful..a bad reaction to Costume Make-up is a rather rare occurance. These products are well tested and there is usually no problem with them at all. BUT! Instead of taking a chance on Halloween night becoming something other than what is planned..try a little smudge of the make-up on your child or children a few days prior to a Halloween/Costume event..? Returning to HAPPIER thoughts...Let's see what kinds of make-up we can come up with... ~Some of you may want to make your own Scars, Fake Noses, Fake Chins, even Hands and/or Feet. With a little know-how and the right products..you CAN definately do some of these things. In fact..I have a place that has just what you need to order to get you started: ~Visit LiquidLatex.com to buy Liquid Latex for your next Halloween costume purchase. I am told that there is a "starter kit" and plenty of instructions to get you on your way. Of course starting THAT far back from scratch isn't for everybody..Ü ~ CostumeKingdom.com has LOTS of Make-up for sale: There are several "KITS" available:    Wolverine Make-up Kit  Complete Devil Make-up Kit  Burn/scar Kit  Vampire Bite Kit   Complete Witch Make-up Kit  Bolt Wound Kit  Flesh and Blood Kit  Blood & Fangs  Complete Zombie Make-up Kit I think you probably get the idea you will find a great deal of different Face Colors (Grease Paint), and from false noses to false teeth (or missing teeth as well Ü). You'll find blood and wounds and scars to match the scariest accident imaginable. Check them out at CostumeKingdom.com (above) or check out your choices at any of the Costume stores that I've taken you to on line. (Hint: If you can afford it..Purchase an extra package of makeup to afford for a practice run. It may save you a lot of nervous fretting at the last moment Ü) ~ Here (below) is a cool Make-Up Kit from Frank Bees:
