Easy DIY Halloween Make-Up & Costume Ideas

Hey you! Yeah, you! Do you have the perfect Halloween costume but need a little something extra to spice up your outfit? Or maybe you just don’t have time to go shopping? I am about to show you three Do It Yourself Make-Up ideas, tips, and inspiration to have the best costume this 2016 year.

70’s Hippies

This first look is so simple! Back in the 70’s, not a lot of young women were into big, extravagant make-up. Let’s get started:

1. Take an eye showdown brush with a warm, brown tone; rub into your eyelid crease.

2. OPTIONAL: apply white pencil liner to water line.

3. Next, apply regular liquid liner and neutral mascara.

4. Apply creamy pinkish-peach color to your lips.

5. Add a little fun! Take your liquid eyeliner and draw peace signs or flowers onto cheeks/side of face.

6. CLOTHING: Take multi-color or tye dye shirts to make your look complete. Head scarfs create a complimentary look as well; bell bottom jeans or pants would set this off!

Vampire

This look is quick, simple, and can be done in under 5 minutes! If you are in the mood this year, hit up your local Target: they have an easy Vampire Halloween Make-Up Kit to make this look even simpler and pop even more.

1. Apply a lighter foundation (a more whitish tone would work best) all across your face. This will give you the pale, ghost-like effect.

2. Apply a dark, berry color to your lips give that “just bitten” look.

3. Next, take a brown eye shadow pencil and rub a dark brown tone underneath your eyes. This gives your eyes a tired/bruised look like you have not slept in days. Even though this is a messy look, we still want it to look like we know what we are doing with our make-up. Blend in your eye shadow so it does not seem to have harsh lines or running everywhere.

4. Take a black shadow and smudge/blend all around eyelid and its crease.

5. BITE MARKS: Take liquid liner and dab little circle onto neck in a crescent shape. Blend these circles out so they are not so defined.

6. Add more dimension by taking the brown eye shadow (same tone we used under your eyes) and blending it into the bite marks we created with the liquid liner. REMINDER: we do not want to take away the bite mark affect too much.

7. After, the same lipstick that we took to your lips, apply along the bite marks. This will create gash marks.

8. Lastly, take a beauty blender to blend all together (lightly). Add more liner, lip stick or eye shadow if need be.

Feminine Lioness

1. Apply foundation all across your face. A more yellow-tone would work best.

2. Contour face. Do not be afraid to a little

extra on the highlighting and blush. REMINDER: always blend!

1. Take a champagne/glitter gold to eyelid. Create depth by take a black to eyelid crease.

2. Create a deep and long winged eye liner. Don’t be afraid to go the extra bold.

3. Soft pinkish-red lips will create a more feminine lioness look.

4. Contour nose by taking a warm, brown tone to the crescents.

5. Take liquid liner and color in top portion of nose (sort of like a pig). Make sure to not go over board and to wait for the liner to dry! See picture if need be.

6. Create whiskers with the liquid liner by pointing on dots.

7. OPPTIONAL: dark lip liner around the lips would be the perfect contrast to make them pop.

8. EXTRA: Brown colored contacts would add an extra BAM to this look.
