How to choose Halloween makeup

Plan the look first, then buy the colors, tools and remover it needs. A simple clown or skeleton face needs two or three colors. A full character look may need a kit, a setting powder and a few brushes.

Makeup kits or single colors

Kits are the easiest start if you are new to makeup, because the colors are chosen for one look. Single colors make sense when you already have a base and need one shade, or when you are painting several people. Products come in sizes from small tubs for one costume to larger sizes for groups and haunted houses, so check the size on the product page.

Popular Halloween makeup looks

Skeleton, clown, witch, zombie and Day of the Dead faces are the most common looks. Practice once before Halloween so you know how long it takes. To finish the outfit, see clown costumes, witch costumes and Halloween wigs.

Tools that help

Sponges and brushes give smoother coverage than fingers, especially on large areas like a full white skull base. A setting powder or spray helps makeup last through a long party. Keep wipes and the recommended remover on hand for touch-ups and cleanup.

Apply and remove makeup with care

Patch test any new makeup on a small area of skin before you wear it for a full night. Follow the directions on the package, and use the remover or cleanser the product recommends. Keep makeup away from your eyes unless the label says it is meant for that area, and always remove it before you go to sleep. For wounds, scars and prosthetics, see special effects makeup.
