Every woman with a flair for makeup can find in Halloween the chance to become her own makeup artiste. It’s fun, it’s creative and just might make you a bit bolder, more inventive, with your makeup on other special nights of the year that don’t happen to be Halloween.

Want to make yourself up as a geisha girl? A 1930’s actress? A gorgeous witch? Information on how to paint your face to these personas and many other, weirder, looks is yours for the browsing.

Go Goth for a night, or get fangs, or outrageous shades of hair, or glitter for looks running a gamut from glamorous to gloopy.

Make Your Own Makeup

–Determine what color makeup you want.
–Mix together 2 tsp. solid shortening, 5 tsp. cornstarch, 1 tsp. flour and drops glycerin in a bowl. Blend well.

–Put makeup on, using only enough to cover.
–Wash makeup off with warm water and soap after the Halloween fun

Tips & Warnings
