Step 1
Use the best Halloween makeup that you can afford and have available. This will significantly increase the ease of use and the way that the makeup looks. If you can't get a high-quality makeup, try mixing the makeup with a small amount of baby oil.
-
Step 2
Wash and moisturize your face and skin before putting the makeup on. This step will ensure that your skin is a clean palette for the makeup.
-
Step 3
Warm the makeup a little in your hand so that it is smooth. This will help the makeup go on easier. Dampen a sponge with warm water and use the sponge to apply the makeup.
-
Step 4
Begin putting makeup on in a well-lit area with a large mirror. You want to not only be able to pay close attention to certain areas but also to look at how the application of the makeup affects the whole look.
-
Step 5
Find help for areas you can't reach. Areas like your shoulders and back are nearly impossible to reach to apply makeup to. Get a friend to help you apply the makeup to these areas.
-
Step 6
Use makeup that matches any latex or prosthetic pieces that you are using. You can always differ a little on the makeup that goes with your skin but not with any latex or other prosthetic pieces that you may be using. Match the base makeup to them rather than your skin.
-
Step 7
Practice applying the makeup. One of the things that makes Halloween makeup difficult is that the average person doesn't do it often. Practice putting on all the makeup several times so that you know how to get the effects that you want with the makeup.
