unusual Halloween look for a guy

For guys on the day of Halloween, it is recommended to open up your full horizons in make-up and make-up, since some physical characteristics of men, for example, emphasized and strict face shapes or a short haircut can only complement the image.

For a guy at a Halloween party, you can choose the image of a “Comic Book Hero” , which appeared quite recently.

The main feature of this image is that the idea of makeup is to use the central feature of the pop art style, namely primitivism .

To create an image, fairly bright and at the same time monochromatic colors are used; lines to emphasize the contours of the face are used here, if not rarely, then little to prevent the image from going beyond the boundaries of the drawn world.

The surface of the face is covered with a layer of foundation of one tone.
Then you can experiment with the plane of the image and add symmetrical dots to the face, just like on glossy paper in comics.
Then you need to apply shadows to the face, filling in the hollows of the eyes, cheekbones, wings of the nose so that it seems that light is falling on you. This can be done with makeup a couple of shades darker than the main tone.
The final touch is to draw lines in a dark color on prominent facial features - along the hairline on the head, around the eyes, the line on the nose.

How to do makeup for girls on Halloween?

Female images touch on the most diverse components of world history, from ancient times to modern times. Their amazing ability to fill the image with every individual detail, trait, and emotion helped forever perpetuate the story about themselves in treatises, books and other sources.

From generation to generation, stories about charming mermaids, creepy furies, enchanting sirens, as well as harpies whose appearance caused fear in the hearts of other people traveled around the world. Most of these, as well as other images of ancient goddesses and mythical girls, are ideal for celebrating Halloween.

We will look at how to create a beautiful image of the little mermaid for Halloween. He is quite romantic and at the same time so mystical that it is difficult to predict what to expect from such a girl.

As you know, mermaids live at the bottom of the ocean, so the complexion needs to be made as pale as possible.
Next, using a concealer, you will need to cover up the remaining imperfections after applying foundation.
The final formation of the main layer of makeup ends with the application of powder over the entire surface of the tone.

In order to create the effect of color shimmering across the face like real mermaids, use powder with pearlescent particles .

The shadows are made to your taste; it is best to choose blue or green shades to match the color of the sea world for decoration.
The eye sockets and eyebrows are also formed with shadows, and arrows are drawn on the eyes themselves in a stylized cat's look.

After this, you can proceed to the main highlight of the image - the scales.

To do this, a mesh material is applied to the surface of the skin; it is best to use tights with a large net or stockings. By applying layer after layer of shadow of different colors with a brush, you can achieve the desired result.

Yes, men wear makeup too.

With timid steps, the world is coming to the conclusion that interests, hobbies, and clothing actually have no gender coloring. Dolls or cars, football or ballet, boxing or manicure - if you don’t impose something specific on children from the very beginning, it suddenly turns out that everyone likes different things, regardless of gender and sexual orientation.

And the desire to dress up and put on makeup is also from this series. It is enough to treat this as a way of self-expression.

However, men already wear makeup all the time. Now it is on every model in advertising, on every participant in a television program, on every presenter, actor, musician, artist. How is this different from everyday life?

What is the difference between a regular moisturizer, which is available in the arsenal of every modern man, and a BB cream? How does a regular hygienic lipstick for chapped lips differ from one with a tint? What is the difference between modeling a beard and mustache in a barbershop - from modeling eyebrows or the same manicure? Exclusively by the number of stereotypes associated with ideas about conventional “masculinity.” Maybe we should gradually move away from them?

We do not suggest starting with bright makeup with multi-colored arrows and sparkles. Let's first learn the basics, when it is difficult to notice something on the face with the naked eye, but the overall image changes (for the better, of course).

Makeup dolls for Halloween

Deep mysticism and completely diverse emotions in the images of dolls created an extraordinary impression in the eyes of people, striking the minds of many people even in our time. They are capable of bewitching and often seriously intimidating with their silence.

First of all, it is necessary to form a layer of makeup of one light tone from theatrical makeup or a very light foundation. Next, you need to eliminate skin imperfections by covering them with concealer, thereby completing the first layer.
The next thing you need to do is to do the contours, namely to express the eyes in large circles and clearly draw the eyebrows. You can use multiple colors for this, such as blue or purple. As an addition, you can apply several layers of makeup with shadows on the eyelids and draw arrows.
During the third step, the image of the doll is directly formed. It is complemented in absolutely any way, for example, by freckles on the nose, blush on the cheeks, heavily painted lips, artificial cuts on the skin of the face.

Remember that in their image the dolls are very beautiful, melancholic personalities who are always silent and can sometimes do very scary things.

Clown image

It would seem that clowns belong at a children's party, and not at a Halloween party, however, this character is far from so clear-cut. Just remember Hollywood films, which often feature killer clowns. There are a lot of options for performing clown makeup. Here is one of them - a scary clown:

First of all, we draw the contours of the eyes and mouth with a cosmetic pencil. The contours of the eyes should not be round, like a skull, it is better to make them curly. The mouth needs to be made larger, extending the contour of the lips onto the cheeks. Our clown will show a grin, so we draw the outline of the lips so that there is room to draw the teeth;

those places on the face that are not included in the contour are covered with white makeup;

Now take a thin brush and use brown or gray shadows to draw wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows. To do this, you need to wrinkle your forehead and apply shadows into the resulting folds, then blend with a brush

fill the contour around the eyes with black makeup, leaving the space under one eye free;

Take a thin white napkin and tear off uneven strips about two centimeters wide. Using liquid latex, we glue these strips under the eye; we do not smear the part of the napkin that is closer to the eye with glue. If you don’t have liquid latex, you can ask your girlfriend for eyelash glue. After the glue has dried, use your fingers to carefully tear apart the unglued edges of the napkin so that it looks like peeling skin. Using black, red and purple shadows, paint over the area under the eye, trying to make it look like a bruise. We thickly cover the lower part of the napkin with white makeup so that it blends into the general background of the face. All that remains is to add a few drops of artificial blood to the wound. Let this substance flow a little, forming a picturesque smudge;

Let's start working on the lips. We draw the lips along the new contour, and fill the inner contour with black paint. We draw teeth with white matte shadows, depicting a grin. We paint over the new “lips” with a red cosmetic pencil. Below the contour of the “new” lips, draw wrinkles using a dark pencil and carefully shading with your fingers. We cover the lips with artificial blood, but not too much, so as not to cover all the makeup;

You can draw a circle on the tip of your nose with red or black paint or put on a small foam clown nose;

All that remains is to put on a suit, a red or multi-colored wig and our creepy clown is ready.

Zombie Halloween Makeup

The zombie image is rightfully considered one of the most popular on Halloween. When night falls and the gates to the other worlds open, completely different creatures come to earth, and those who previously lived there rise from their graves.

Modern images of zombies are very different from the old ones in their completeness. Now during the Halloween holiday, you can find zombie people on the streets with knives sticking out of their heads, brains, hanging jaws, heads pierced by shotgun pellets, open mortal wounds and much more.

But as before, the main thing in the image of a zombie is blood, torn and dirty things and a disheveled appearance.

Make-up is done at personal discretion - the most current light, blue, green. This is all done with the help of foundation and eye shadow.
