Halloween is fast approaching! It's time to bring out the spooky costumes, but above all to complete the look with make-up that will transform young and old into terrifying creatures. This year, why not opt for organic and natural make-up for the whole family with Namaki Cosmetics? Here are 5 Halloween make-up ideas you can easily create at home: skeleton, Mexican skeleton, undead, vampire and pumpkin. Get ready together for a frightfully fun and skin-friendly evening with Namaki products, specially designed to respect children's sensitive skin.
Skeleton make-up: A timeless classic
What could be scarier than a squeaky skeleton? This Halloween make-up is a must-have for the whole family. Simple yet striking, skeleton make-up is perfect for transforming young and old into ghosts from beyond the grave. For impeccable results, use 3-color makeup palette which contains everything you need to draw clean, spooky lines on your face. Start by applying the white water blush all over the face for a corpse-like complexion. For greater ease and speed, use the wide brush. Then, using a finer brush (the one contained in the palette will be perfect), pick up some black blush to draw hollows around the eyes and paint the nose. Finish by outlining the face. Ask your skeleton-to-be to close the mouth so you can paint it black too. Draw a black line on each side of the corners of the mouth and small vertical lines to reveal teeth.
💡 Tip: For an even spookier effect, apply gray blush and blend with the sponge to hollow out the cheeks and make the skeleton look like it's risen from the grave!
Mexican skeleton: long live the Day of the Dead!
Does the classic skeleton seem too drab? Would you like to add a little joy and color to the mix? For kids and ( especially ) moms, opt for Mexican skeleton make-up, inspired by the famous Mexican holiday "Dia de los Muertos". This make-up combines elements of death and festivity to perfection. Thanks to the 6-color palette Worlds of Horrors from Namaki, you'll have all the colors you need to bring this vibrant look to life. Start as with the classic skeleton, applying white blush, then black around the eyes, nose and mouth. But this time, add floral patterns around the eyes with bright colors like red, blue or purple. To do this, you can either use the blushes or choose your favorite color from all the shades of pencils available. Don't forget to draw a heart on the forehead or petals on the cheeks to bring a touch of playfulness to this scary make-up.
💡 Tip: Find this Mexican skeleton makeup difficult to achieve? Don't worry! Choose the model you prefer (easy or intermediate) and follow the step-by-step tutorial.
Undead: zombie effect guaranteed
For an even more terrifying transformation this Halloween night, why not become the undead? Zombie make-up is always a big hit. It's easy to do, thanks to the Namaki Box Worlds of Horrors which contains all the necessary products. Start by creating a greenish complexion with the blush. Then use the purple and pink jumbo pencils around the eyes to accentuate dark circles. Blacken eyebrows and lips with blush, and draw open wounds, scars and hematomas with black, purple or red. Speaking of red, don't forget to add a few splashes of the artificial blood included in the box (or available in kit). Easy to sample with its small bottle and honeycomb sponge, it's a must-have for your Halloween parties for an even more realistic effect.
💡Hint: For a faux wound effect, apply the artificial blood by dabbing it onto the skin with the special effects sponge. For a bloody effect, you can use a brush.
Vampire: elegant and terribly frightening
The vampire is one of Halloween's most iconic characters. With his sharp fangs and sallow complexion, this make-up is sure to please young and old alike. In addition to the necessary products, the Namaki Box includes a tutorial card to help you carry it out step by step. It's the ideal kit for transforming your children - and the whole family - into veritable creatures of the night. After applying the white blush all over the face for a cold, dead-skin effect, use the black to draw deep shadows around the eyes. Also apply it to the cheeks for an emaciated effect. And for lip color, red of course! Color them with a pencil or apply artificial blood with a brush.
💡 Tip: To make the look even more impressive, don't hesitate to drip artificial blood down your chin. Fresh blood!
Pumpkin: the ultimate Halloween vegetable
Finally, for the younger set or those who prefer make-up that's more fun than scary, the pumpkin is the perfect choice. With its spooky smile and bright colors, it perfectly embodies the Halloween spirit. And the good news is that orange blush completes - alongside black and white - the three-color palette used for the skeleton. Thanks to this three-step tutorial, transforming your face into a real Jack-o'-lantern is child's play! Start by applying the orange blush all over the face. Then draw the contours of a wide, eerie smile using black. Add triangles around the eyes and nose to reproduce classic Halloween pumpkin motifs.
💡Tip: For a total look, put color right into your hair with the orange mascara !
