What is The Purge about?
With its debut in 2013, the film “The Purge” has established itself as one of the most popular Halloween films of all time. Translated from English, purge means something like “the cleansing”. As part of the film series, the citizens try to survive the so-called “Purge Night”. On this night, absolutely any crime, whether murder or theft, is permitted for 12 hours and carries no punishment. To carry out their dastardly deeds, participants dress up in super scary outfits and masks. And these masks are the secret to every good Purge look. We believe few horror films hold such great potential for truly unique and frightening Halloween costumes.

Materials required:
- Dark foundation
- Face powder
- Dark brown, white and black eyeshadow
- Liquid eyeliner
- Eyebrow pencil
- Bronzer
- Red lipstick
The Purge make-up instructions:
- To create a smooth base for makeup, start with clean and dry skin.
- Now apply the foundation as usual. To achieve the appearance of a “mask,” make sure the foundation is at least 2 shades darker than your natural skin tone.
- Use the black eyeliner to draw large circles in the eye sockets.
- Next, fill the circles completely with the brown eyeshadow. Lightly shade the inner top and outer bottom corners of the circles.
- To add extra depth to your purge makeup, apply some black eyeshadow around the edges and blend gently.
- Outline the circles very carefully with the black eyeliner and keep the line as thin as possible.
- When doing The Purge makeup, it's important to achieve a cartoon-like look. To do this, you first need to trace the eyebrows with the pencil to create a slightly arched and threatening shape. Depending on your preference, you can also brush them into the desired shape with a brush and only then fill them with the pen.
- Probably the biggest feature of The Purge mask is the creepy grin. To do this, first paint the entire lower lip with either the white eyeshadow or white face paint.
- To achieve a cartoon-like pout and give your lips some extra shape, apply some bronzer under the bottom lip. Blend lightly.
- For the teeth, take a small amount of black eyeliner and carefully draw thin lines on the lower lip.
- The last thing to do is extreme contouring. This gives the Purge mask its characterful look and threatening shape.
- Use the bronzer to paint thick lines under the cheeks, on the chin and on the forehead and blend them lightly. For extra depth, top with the dark brown eyeshadow and you're done! The Purge mask is so easy to put on make-up!
