Painting your face to go along with your witch costume can be quick and easy. There are various ways to create the desired witch-look, based on the type of witch you want to be. Good witches tend to use colors that are a lighter shade while bad witches stick with darker colors. Then add features you want to incorporate on your face.
One idea for a bad witch is a dark green base paint for the entire facial area followed by black lips and eyes, dark purple eyeshadow to make the eyes scarier and two black cobwebs on either cheek with a small spider on the tip of her nose. A good witch may choose a more subtle look. A good witch can create a butterfly mask around her eyes with pretty pinks, purples and blues. Glitter and gems can be added to the outline of the mask. The face-painting for a good witch should be beautiful and enchanting.
