The Use Of Makeup To Enhance Your Costume Look

Halloween is a time to not only be filled with spooky stories and decoration. It’s also a time to have fun dressing up as another character. Whether it’s a clown, a gypsy, a fairy, or a werewolf, it’s a time to put on a mask and pretend to be someone else for a night. On this momentous occasion, no one will know who you are. You get to be somebody you have always dreamed of. You get to become a rockstar celebrity, or even the President. With a hundred different options to choose from, it can get overwhelming. Once you decide on a costume idea, it’s almost never complete without a bit of makeup to accentuate the look.

Face painting has been around in ancient history, associating with cultural and religious practices/traditions, military work, hunting, theatre, and even for artistic purposes. The use of face paint can drastically change the look of your face in swift, simple steps. In recent years, the use of face paint is mainly used for expressionism, theatre, entertainment, and cosmetics. Unlike tattoo designs, face painting is only temporary, lasting from a couple of hours to a even a couple of days with the case of Henna. With the vast array of colors available, face paint and make-up can transform you into a completely different person. For this reason alone, it has become very popular with costume and theatre wear.
