Makeup ideas for Halloween?

My brother in law is having a costume party and I'm going as a fairy, my costume and wings are blue, green and lilac (all pastel shades) and I have a lilac wig (pigtails with butterfly hairties.) I'm not very good with makeup, but I wanted something fun, a bit whisical but dramatic too. I was thinking about using all three colors on my eyes, making them run diagonally from the nose side of my eye out , I tried it out and it didn't turn out the greatest. How do I blend the colors together so it looks good? Any other ideas? If you could explain everything like I was five I'd really appreciate it, I'm a hot mess when it comes to makeup! Thanks!

Reply:I am a face painter. When we make "mysticals" we tend to blend the colors together and do a lot of line work (base color underneath and highlight with lines, swirls). My best advice is to try to keep it simple and use glitter. You could try the face painting sites for ideas ( for example snazaroo.com, fpbaa.com) or just put face painting in your browser. Many of us have websites with pictures on them. You'll get some great ideas.





Good Luck
Reply:Either use white pancake, if you can find it, or a white clown base but very thin, so your whole face is white.





If you have blue, green and lilac make up - then use it in areas rather than trying to be too fancy. For instance





use the lilac or green on your lids and under your brow


Use the blue in your eyebrow


Then take the unusued third color (green or lilac) and use it to expand the area above the brow and below the eye socket.





Use a little of the lilac like a blush in your cheeks - very light and gentle.


If your ears are showing, make them green.


You can do an accent on your nose, if you want - be careful it doesn't start to look like an animal





That may be enough. Try it and see. But the white base will help set everything else off. And don't forget to powder down after you finish, to set the make up, if you've been using grease rather than water based
