How to do a green face with makeup step by step
This makeup, in addition to being very scary, is very realistic and striking. If it is the one you are going to ask for this year, these are the steps you must follow to make it perfect for you:
- To start creating green face witch makeup for Halloween, the first thing we will have to do is what you already know, remove our face makeup and leave it free of impurities.
- Later, we will cover imperfections with a primer layer, in addition, it will help us to fix the material that we are going to put on later.
- Next, we will go on to apply green face paint all over the face. We will mark the area of the upper eyelid, cheekbones, chin, and chin with a slightly more intense tone.
- Once we have this we will put a little purple color well spread on our lips, you can even put one that has a bit of shine, it will look very good, and also on our eyelids, blend with your fingers so that no cuts or lines are seen thick.
- Now we draw the lower and upper line of the eyes and, to give it the luminosity that it so needs, on the lower line of the eye, we will put a pinch of white, be careful not to leave it, the idea is to create a point of light, otherwise if you do it right you could ruin the design and have to start all over again.
- What you can do if you want to complement this green witch makeup costume for Halloween is to draw a spider web on one side of the cheekbone. To do this, you will have to use black eyeliner, trace the fine lines, give them a bit of shade in gray, and, with a pinch of white, do the same as we have done before, the points of light. Have you seen how good it looks?
Bleeding-eyed witch makeup, this is how to style it
- This wicked witch makeup is somewhat simpler than the previous one and requires less paint. Ready to find out how it’s done?
- We prepare our face, clean it well and remove it completely. If necessary put on some moisturizer and allow it to absorb before you start painting.
- We put the base layer all over the face and then we apply a second layer but this time of makeup in a lighter tone than our skin.
- Next, we paint our eyes black and blend them with the help of the sponge and the brush. The mascara and eyes line are also in that same black color.
- For the lips, we are going to make them up in a dark color, it can be purple or maroon, if you want you can outline them in black to give them volume, intensity, and depth.
- Now we are going to make the bleeding eyes. With the help of a fine brush, we will make a few small lines that cover the entire area of the dark circles as if we were shedding red tears. Apply a pinch of gray right on the line that is glued to the eye and try not to let the two colors come together.
Witch makeup inspired by Maleficent for Halloween
We couldn’t do a special on witchy makeup and not include her, the queen of all witches, Maleficent. If you want makeup like hers, this is what you have to do.
- We paint the face pale white. Spread your face paint well so that it is even and no imperfections spoil your makeup.
- We create the shadows where the points of light should go: the chin, the chin, the bridge of the nose, and the cheekbones. To do this, just put a little gray or brown eye shadow.
- We paint the eyes and eyelashes black and mark the dark circles with faded grey.
- The red lips, the more intense the better, you know that it is the most characteristic feature of this witch.
- The upper eyelid must be painted in a soft violet color. We outline it so that the look is deeper.
- False eyelashes, failing that it extends a layer of black mascara, and contact lenses for light eyes to a fault, is what will contrast with the features marked in black.
Ideas to complete your witch costume for Halloween
As for the accessories for your witch makeup for Halloween, we have these simple ideas:
- Pointy hat, that is so characteristic of wicked witches. If you’re going Maleficent, wear one that has pointy horns.
- If you want, you can put some non-toxic black paint on 1 or 2 of your teeth to make them look black or have fallen out.
- On the other hand, decorate your black suit with spider webs or small spiders.
- What you can also do and that will be great is painting your nails with typical motifs of this party and this set: a cauldron for potions, a spider web, a Black Moon, and other decorations that will make you.
- Another great idea is to put some green eye shadow on the lids; it will give an incredible vibe.
