The material you need to make pumpkin make up on Halloween

- Mask.
- Thick and fine brush or makeup sponge.
- Compact makeup without color to seal.
Halloween: steps to follow for a Pumpkin makeup
As you may have noticed, this type of makeup is very easy to achieve. There are also several versions. We are going to tell you how you can create the classic pumpkin, but if you want to bet on a more modern one, all you have to do is give free rein to your imagination.
Clean your face and apply moisturizer
As you always do before, cleanse your face to leave it free of any impurities, and then apply a generous layer of your moisturizer. Special makeup for costumes is usually somewhat dry and with the moisturizer, you will avoid it.
Draw and fill the pumpkin
The next thing you have to do is draw the base of the pumpkin on your face. To do this, draw a fine line with black color that occupies almost the entire face, you can use a fine brush or a sponge. Help yourself with your fingers when necessary. Then color with the orange color, here you can use the thick brush to take less time.
Draw triangles over the eyes
Now you are going to make up the eyes for yourself. Take the black color and the fine brush (wash it if you see that the paint from before has dried) and draw a triangle over the eyes in such a way that the base of the triangle is below the eye. Fill with that same black color.
Lips in black color
To make up your lips and make them resemble a Halloween pumpkin as much as possible, you have to draw some curved lines in black. To give it more realism, draw some vertical black stripes distributed randomly throughout the face, you will see what a cool contrast it makes with the orange color.
Draw the tail of the pumpkin
This step is optional, it is about making a kind of tail in the forehead area with the green color as if it were the stem of the pumpkin, and it is not that it is an essential detail but it helps the makeup to be more accomplished. Finally, apply compact makeup without color to seal so that your makeup lasts intact all night.
