Cool idea with theatrical make-up in black and white
The next makeup is inspired by the first black and white comic books. With white and black body painting paint you can conjure up some special effects on the face. Apply natural make-up to the other half of your face to create an effective contrast.
Animals
With water-soluble body painting colors or carnival make-up from the carnival shop in orange, white and black, an eyeliner pencil, a round brush and a precision sponge, you will be able to create your next make-up in a short time. First draw a black line with the eyeliner to visually divide the face into two. Then use the sponge to apply glittery purple eyeshadow along the line and then orange color to the cheek, chin and forehead. Use the brush to blur the lines between the two colors to avoid a harsh transition. Now draw the contours of the muzzle with the eyeliner and fill them in with white paint.
Make up yourself as an old woman
The popular Face app, which allows anyone to digitally age their face, became a real Instagram trend last year. For Halloween, you can dress up as an old woman and give your friends a taste of what you'll look like in 40 years, even without the app. First, apply white paint to your face to create a pallor. Use a brush to paint dark circles around the eye and fill in the area around the mouth and eye with wrinkles. Then dye your hair gray with color spray. Apply make-up to the other half of your face as usual.
Disney Princesses and Villains
A very cool makeup idea inspired by princesses and villains from the Disney films is gaining popularity in the USA. Example in the photo above: The left side of the face is made up as the Queen of Hearts and the right side as Alice. The film that served as inspiration is called “Alice in Wonderland”.
Rapunzel and her stepmother Gothel
The romantic story of Rapunzel inspired the next makeup. For the beautiful princess, use white powder to create the necessary paleness on her face. You can then paint flowers on your face and subtly emphasize the eyes with pink eyeshadow. On the other side of your face, apply make-up inspired by Gothel, Rapunzel's evil stepmother. Create a cat eye with kohl pencil and shimmery bronze eyeshadow and wear green contact lenses.
Snow White and the Evil Queen
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful in all the land? For the evil queen who is jealous of Snow White's beauty, you need dramatic make-up. Purple eye shadow, lots of glitter, eyebrows highlighted with kohl and of course seductive red lips are the villain's trademarks. Snow White has brown eyes, naturally red lips, a flawless porcelain complexion and pink cheeks.
The Princess and the Frog
The next two make-up ideas that are inspired by Disney films: “The Princess and the Frog” and “The Little Mermaid” can be easily recreated with a little practice.
