Halloween Makeup?

By ultraserval Posted on October 20, 2008 - 6:55pm 

So, my friend and I are doing 4 different Halloween costumes this Halloween, and I wanted advice on 3 of them.
French Maid - Just any overall advice for this. =) Or basically, should the eyes or lips be played up more?
Eskimo - Are there any drugstore lipglosses that come out very "frosty"?
Ringmaster - Can anyone give me any advice for this one at ALL? I know we want it very dramatic, but still no ideas.
Thanks for your help!!

Aw thanks! =) The drag was a little too much for her, but I'm definitely taking a lot of these ideas in. And I most definitely WILL post pictures!

What a fun question! I *adore* Halloween makeup and admire the creativity that goes into doing it yourself.

For the French Maid, I'd do black cat-eye liner, false lashes, defined arched brows, and very scarlet lips--sort of a pin-up look, a little Brigitte Bardot-like. Got to throw on a fake beauty mark too!

For Eskimo, I'd play with lots of super frosty colors, for eyes and lips. Try a white or silver shadow with a glitter liner around the eye (maybe one of the Urban Decay Heavy Metal liners, like Glam Rock or Distortion.) I think an icy blue lip could look really hot (cool?) with that. Too Faced makes a sheer blue called Sapphire Spark in their Sparkler Glamour Gloss line. Or you could go straight to costume makeup and pick up some Ben Nye or Graftobian. You can find their stuff at costume supply shops. Be sure to do a spot of rosy color on the cheeks, too.

Ringmaster ... wow, that's interesting ... if you don't mind doing a little drag, I think it'd be awesome to have a thin Salvador Dali-esque mustache, high "surprised" brows, and majorly contoured cheekbones. If you want to keep it feminine and sexy, then I'd go for big glittery eyes and maybe a little star or other detail painted on the face as a beauty mark.

Have fun! And you had *better* post photos here! :)
