Our own summary of the original — the full post and photos live at hgtv.com.
This kid-friendly vampire makeup tutorial walks you through four simple steps. Start with a pale base and add shadows for a sickly undead look. Darken the eyebrows, apply fake blood, and pop in fangs for a ghoulish finish.
Directions
- Apply a white or pale foundation across the whole face, then set it with translucent powder to eliminate shine.
- For a corpse-like appearance, add shadow to the cheek hollows, underneath the chin, around the nose, and under the eyes. Use blending brushes and eyeshadows in brown, gray, pink, and red to create a gaunt, ill complexion. This also defines facial contours.
- Make eyebrows darker using brown or black eyeshadow or eyeliner. For a more evil look, shape the arches into sharper angles.
- Apply fake blood around the mouth corners and let it drip down the chin. For extra drama, allow it to run all the way onto the neck. Complete the costume with vampire fangs.
