Halloween is only 41 days away! My favorite time of the year next to my birthday. Time to start decorating the house and organizing the final details for my Bloody, Dead & Sexy Halloween Party.
I always love to see what supermodel Heidi Klum comes up with for her annual Halloween Bash. She’s one celebrity that knows how to throw a party.
Your Halloween costume isn’t complete without the final touches of adding makeup to complete your total look. What’s your favorite Halloween look?
Vampire, Zombie, Horror or Fiend?
Whatever your choice make it ghoulishly glam, and go dramatic. Add a bit of DIY and make it your own and you can be sure no one else will be quite the same. Don’t forget to add some glitter, false lashes, fangs and gore!

Not sure what you will need to create your look? Professional costume make up kits have been created to simplify the process and can be purchased online or from costume/theatrical stores or even in your local goth shop. These kits usually include everything you need and will take you step by step to correctly apply and achieve the look to match your costume.

Halloween face paints works well for Vampire, Zombie, Demons & Horror themed outfits to create a ghoulish white, blue/grey tint or a green hue for your base. If you need a make up that will last for hours choose a cake foundation and apply with a damp sponge. Finish off your base make up with a layer of fixing powder or spray to set it. A cheap alternative for a white face is to use some talcum powder to set instead.
Want something outstanding? Get an expert to do it for you. Search online for a MUA who specializes in Alternative & SFX looks or try Illamasqua (Myer Melbourne & Sydney stores) for a more avant garde look.
The standard of Halloween gore, fake blood! Add some to your gruesome costume to make it more realistic. To make blood you can use red food coloring and corn syrup – add in some peanut butter if you want to add more gore. Spirit gum will adhere accessories and prosthetics to the skin. Going all out Zombie and need more gore? Use pre painted latex prosthetics to create bloody, oozing, open wounds.
Starting with a clean face will give you the most optimal base for your Halloween make up.
* Cleanse your face to remove all traces of oil from the skin to make your make up last longer.
* Don’t use heavy moisturizers if you’re using thick grease based foundations or theatrical paints.
* Use latex eyelash glue to adhere glitter to your eye make up so it stays put, layering it onto vaseline or a cream eye shadow is fine for a photoshoot but it won't last the distance of a big night out. Apply latex glue to the area and allow to become tacky in the same as applying false lashes at the lash line. Use a cheap make up brush to apply the loose glitter dust as latex will damage a good brush as it is hard to remove.

Always remove your Halloween make up before you go to sleep with a foaming cleanser and or make up/adhesive remover to remove all residue from the skin to avoid any breakout a few days later. Warm water and cleanser will remove latex easily as it will just peel away and lift off the skin. Use a calming thermal spray to soothe the skin before applying your normal skin care.
Happy Halloween!
