Halloween makeup tips

Make fake, realistic blood out of lipstick

Since Halloween is all about the gore and horrifying appeal, blood is a makeup staple during this season. There is a surprisingly easy fake blood technique that will last as long as your Halloween party.

Here’s a step-by-step guide for making fake blood:

How to make fake blood with lipstick

  • Grab a flat and sturdy piece of thin wood or metal plate to put your mixture in.
  • Get an old red lipstick.
  • Scrape the content of the lipstick and put it onto the plate.
  • Grab any liquid or creamy black eyeliner and put it into the lipstick. For liquid liners, only put enough to make the texture a bit mushy.
  • Then grab your liquid lip gloss and put enough to achieve a thick texture.
  • You can adjust the colour as desired. Put more lipstick if you want the blood to be brighter. Put more black eyeliner if you want it to be zombie-like blood – dark and horrendous.
  • Dip a stiff brush into the mixture and apply it on your face. Make it look natural.

Pull off a 3D wound with non-toxic glue

A 3D wound looks so real that people think you go to a professional makeup artist to achieve it. However, you can DIY this process like a breeze. By using non-toxic glue, you can get the wound of your dreams this Halloween!

How to make fake wound

  • Cut pieces of the glue and place two pieces with a space in the middle.
  • Dab some powder and cover with foundation. The foundation must be the same as your skin color.
  • Get a violet and red eye shadow and put them around the glue to achieve a bruised look.
  • Then draw the space in the middle with a black liner.
  • To make it realistic, cover with red lipstick and lip gloss, and you’re good to go!

Prep your eyebrows for a creepy look

Some Halloween makeup will require hiding your brows. For people with thick and dark eyebrows, this step is surprisingly easy, especially for beginners. All you need is a non-toxic glue, powder, and foundation.

  • Cover your brows with glue.
  • Dab with loose powder.
  • Paint with foundation and you’re done!

Create veins that pop using yarns

If you want to complete your zombie look, create realistic veins using yarns and glue.

  • Grab yarn and separate the strands.
  • Paint some eyelash glue to where you want your 3D veins.
  • Stick the yarn to the glue.
  • Add some more veins using a black liner.
  • Paint more vein touch-ups and you’re ready for the party!

Achieve Joker’s mouth slit using tissue paper

Yes, you got that right. A Joker’s mouth slit is easily achievable using lash glue, tissue paper strips, liner, and fake blood.

  • Get a single ply of tissue and cut into thin strips.
  • Place lash glue and form two slits from the sides of your mouth.
  • Place the tissue strips onto the glue.
  • Dab more glue and let it dry.
  • Use a black liner to make the slit more apparent.
  • Cover with fake blood.
