Pale makeup? Please read, for Halloween tommorw!?

Hey,


I'm sort of putting together a last minute vampire costume for halloween. I already have very good fangs (Scarecrow natural tooth caps, expensive but work very well...used previously for an English project) but really need to figure out how to to the pale makeup. I have white base makeup (the typical cheap stuff you find around this time of year... "clown makeup") and baby powder. now some people have said to use just baby powder, but it doesn't stay on your skin well enough (i tried).... if i put on a very very thin layer of the "clown" makeup and then maybe lightly brush it with baby powder, it works but i tend to get a few areas that are too heavy and it's very time-consuming.





tips for putting it all on or some other foundation that i could buy at CVS? i would buy white goth setting powder at hot topic, but it's not worth the drive.. and it's sort of expensive for a one or two time use.

I agree with the others. Get the lightest shade of foundation. That's the best way.


Cheaper than that, you can get one of the white sticks they sell for under-eye concealer. If you carefully blend a little at a time it gives a great effect, and doesn't make you break out like clown makeup. Use dark purple eye shadow for contouring under cheekbones, eye sockets, temples, etc. Set it all with the baby powder, then use black eyeliner, etc.





Don't use fake blood. Any self-respecting vampire wouldn't be caught dead (forgive the pun) wearing dinner on their face.
Reply:just buy some really really pale foundation at any drug store.
Reply:Or you could just buy the lightest skin tone Max Factor Panstick. I used this on my husband when he was a vampire and it worked a treat. I also used black eye make uo to paint a V on his forehead at the hairline. Bright Red Lipstick - he looked a treat (or trick).
