Black Makeup for a Halloween Scarecrow Costume

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I am going to show you how to make a scarecrow costume. With our base of orange on the face now it's time to move to the eyes. Now for a jack-o-lantern effect what we are going to do is we are going to paint upside down triangles over the eyes in black. We start at the inside of the eye. Make sure yeah that your volunteers eyes are closed. Start at the inside of the eyebrow. The eye brows are going to be the top of the triangle. So you are going to come down and form the bottom of the triangle. Again the eyebrows are the top of this triangle. This is going to be a pretty solid demarcation line between the orange and the black. And it could be that you find that there are a couple of little areas where you need to go back and add some orange. That's fine. That's no problem at all. This isn't a one shot deal. And after we apply the first layer of black then we are going to take it up and slowly but surely paint in the gap that we have set for ourselves. Definitely be careful. Make sure that their eyes remain closed at all times. Also gently apply your brush strokes. Do not be jamming it down on the eyes. That is not good for the eyes and you will have a very very unhappy person you are trying to help."
