Fancy a bit of special effects???

Halloween is a time for Ghoul and Ghost

Make your look fresh and like a roast

Create a burn that oh so real

Blood and gore, its easy to do...

Hey gore lovers, here's a few home made treats. You just need tissue, liquid latex, a colour wheel or just dig in your makeup bag for black, purple and red powder plus you'll need some blood. Split the tissue ply into two, rip into pieces and scrunch. Paste on the liquid latex and let is dry... get a sponge, dab on colours in turn and cover in blood.

Easy and A B C......

Fancy a bullet wound? You will just need soft wax, a spatula and blood.  Rub a small amount of wax into a small ball, place on the skin and blend the edges onto the skin with the spatula or finger. Once its blended and attached, make a hole in the centre and push the hole gently outwards. With a small brush put some black or dark red into the hole and apply blood allowing to drip downwards.

Trick or Treat... Halloween in your cupboards...

Mwwwaahhhhhh ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa TRICK or TREAT?? Are you going to a party that requires a bit of va va voom in the scary makeup department? No idea where to start?
Ok, here's a few quick tips for the least creative of people... good news is that you dont need to spend a penny to look like a zombie!

To you will need...

Talcum Powder or Flour (if you have a white creme based product, even better!)
Black or purple eye shadow, pencil (or fag ash if you are desparate!)
Red lipstick and pencil
This could be messy so best to put something over your clothes to protect your outfit...!
1. Make sure your face is moisturised. When slightly damp pat on talc or flour, once dry pat again with talk/flour to create a pale/white complexion
2. press your forefinger into the black powder or ash and press onto your eye lid (doesn't need to be tidy... try for a panda style look OR draw your lids black with liner
3. get a blusher brush, dip into black shadow/ash (flick excess) and stroke underneath the cheek bone from mid cheek up towards top of the ear (to create contour)
4. dip finger into red powder and dab underneath eyes and inner corners of the eye and around your mouth
5. either whiten lips out, blacken en up or redden them up
6. Last but not least, gently tap in talc or flour to the roots and ends of your hair.
You should end up with a design a bit like this (maybe not quite as precise!)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
