Halloween makeup with fake blood: step-by-step technology with photos

Makeup for Halloween can be completely different, but if you decide to rely on a terrifying image with realistic cuts on the face, streaks of blood and bloodshot eyes, as if your heroine has just risen from the grave, we recommend studying the step-by-step technology for performing makeup.

With the help of detailed explanations and illustrations from Ekaterina Strukova, doing makeup will be much easier than it seems! Go!

Step 1. Glue silicone pads on Skin Tate (Smoosh-on) to the cheekbone area. Dust them with Neutral Set loose powder (Ben Nye) after the glue has dried. Blow out the area of the face and décolleté with white paint Procolor Classic (Ben Nye).

Step 2. We decorate the lower eyelid and the area under the eyes with “bruises”. For this we use cream paint F/x (Ben Nye). We create the effect of sore eyes using the F/x Zombi washer. Using the same makeup we darken the area under the cheekbones. To transition from the eyelid to the cheekbones, we add capillaries.

Step 3. We shade the upper eyelid with cream makeup F/x (Ben Nye), adding depth in the first fixed zone.

Step 4. Using dry textures of shadows from the Neutral Perl Sheen (Ben Nye) palette, create a radiant effect. We blend the arrow with matte shadows from the Glam Shadow (Ben Nye) palette on the upper eyelid and the haze in the third zone of the lower eyelid.

Step 5. Glue the eyelashes. We darken the brow ridges with matte shadows and use a spatula to form scratches using non-hardening blood Arterial (Mouldlife). Lips: base – F/x makeup (Ben Nye) and the same blood.

Step 6. Using an airbrush, Make Air #019 stencil and Procolor Classic black paint (Ben Nye), locally blow out the portrait of the model. Apply Lumiere Luxe Powders shimmer in Ice (Ben Nye) to the T-zone, lips and chin.
