With Halloween just around the corner it’s time to start planning for costumes and makeup. Halloween is the perfect holiday for face painting. A good costume doesn’t end with just the clothes and accessories. A painted face can make a true statement and define your look. Especially now that Halloween masks are prohibited at most all school functions, dances, and parties, face painting is a more comfortable, inexpensive way to finish your ensemble. There are minimal tools needed to get started and the quality of face paints have come along way for a safe, comfortable and long lasting wear.

The basic tools are face paints, 3 to 4 brushes and some sponges. From a ghost, butterfly, clown, vampire, or pumpkin there are plenty of Halloween Face Painting Ideas and that can give you step by step directions on how to paint on a disguise. Once you have decided what you are going to be for Halloween there will be plenty of ideas for a unique look. There are plain colored face paints, ones that contain glitter for a sparkle effect, and some have pearlescent effects added to them or even some ultra-violet light reflecting paints. You may also choose to add embellishment like stick on gemstones for an extra special sparkle design, a piece of painted puffed rice for a wart, or even temporary tattoos.

The options are limitless. I suggest starting with a basic concept, having a drawn out example or sketch and then use your imagination and creativity to make it your own. There are also face stencils if you don’t have a knack for drawing. There are many different techniques for blending, shading, feathering and many more. So I suggest starting with an easy how-to guide and in no time you will be a pro. Make this Halloween memorable and paint away.
