Learn how to create a haunting Halloween look from start to finish. Begin with a clean, moisturized face, then build texture with latex. Contour to hollow cheeks, apply foundation, add blood and bruises, and finish with setting powder for a long-lasting scare.
Directions
- Start with clean, well-hydrated skin by washing and applying moisturizer.
- For added texture or realistic wounds, spread a thin coat of liquid latex.
- Define your features with a contour kit to achieve a gaunt, skull-like appearance.
- Even out your complexion with foundation, either matching your natural skin or going pale for an undead vibe.
- Enhance the look with special effects like fake blood, painted bruises, or other gory details.
- Lock everything in place with a dusting of translucent powder so it lasts all night.
