How to make white face makeup at home. Secrets are revealed by the chief make-up artist of the STB channel Victoria Bessarab
All Saints' Day is celebrated by many people nowadays. Very often the decision to go to a mystical party comes spontaneously. If you decide to appear as a ghost or witch, you will need white makeup. You can buy ready-made theatrical makeup, or you can make it yourself.
How to do white makeup? Before applying makeup, be sure to check it for allergenicity. To do this, you can apply a little makeup on the bend of your elbow - if there is no redness or burning, you can use it on your face. Before applying makeup and makeup, be sure to moisturize and protect your face with Vaseline or baby cream.
How to do white makeup? In a separate bowl, mix white gouache and interior fat - the makeup should come out quite thick. If you mix Vaseline oil with gouache, the makeup will turn out more liquid; it is also called “cinematic”. Add gouache to fat or Vaseline in small parts to obtain the required makeup consistency. Once the mixture is ready, it can be applied to the face. It is most convenient to apply makeup with a large soft brush; if you don’t have one, you can use a sponge, but in this case, you need to apply the makeup in several layers so that it evenly covers the face.
If you plan to apply white makeup to your entire face and change the shape of your eyebrows, then you first need to moisten them generously with cream and powder them well. After the white makeup at home has completely dried, you can additionally paint your face. To do this, take black and red paints, which are most relevant on this holiday. You can paint whatever you want on white makeup, so your imagination in this case can be simply limitless.
When the holiday is over, and all the “evil” forces have gone home, do not forget to thoroughly wash off the makeup. The lighter texture of the makeup can be easily washed off with regular warm water. If the layer of makeup is large enough or it is difficult to remove, you can additionally use Vaseline or cream - it will soften the top layer of makeup and it will wash off much easier.
After completely removing the makeup from your face, moisturize it well with regular baby cream or any other face cream so as not to cause an allergic reaction to this type of makeup. You can create many Halloween looks with white makeup. White makeup can serve as a basis for applying other paints, and play a major role in it. The main thing is to use high-quality materials for its preparation, and both the holiday and the process of creating the image will take place in a good mood.
Halloween celebrations are becoming increasingly popular. The widespread image of a zombie is complemented by artificial scars and wounds, which are created using special makeup. But even without the addition of a suit and other attributes, they will look intimidating. Professional makeup artists can make scars look very realistic, but if you want to make them yourself, you can purchase a special kit that includes everything you need to create a scar. But if you can’t find a kit, you don’t need to give up this idea - scars can be made with simple cosmetic products.
Instructions on how to make up scars on your face for Halloween, as well as photos and videos, can be found below!
What will you need?
A detail such as an artificial scar can be combined with any costume and look, it all depends on your imagination and desire. But it is important to know that to create a scar or cut on the face, you cannot do with simple makeup.
For an interesting Halloween look, you need to prepare the following tools:
- PVA glue, but it’s best to buy silicone, designed for gluing false eyelashes;
- foundation;
- blush;
- set of shadows;
- brushes, cotton swabs, sponges for applying cosmetics;
- napkins (preferably thick) white;
- plasticine;
- red, blue food coloring.
It is worth taking care to protect the furniture and work surface from stains. Therefore, you need to cover them with paper or film. Before you start applying makeup, put on your costume in advance. If you want to create a scar not on your face or neck, wear an apron so as not to stain your outfit while doing your Halloween makeup.

How to make artificial leather
A cut involves breaking the skin, so the first step is to create artificial skin to make the scar look more realistic.
So, below you will find ways to make up scars for Halloween at home:
- You can take the easiest path - make “decorative” leather made of plasticine to suit your skin tone. The disadvantage of this method is its fragility. Roll a “sausage” with the required parameters and attach it to the skin. To make it last longer, secure it to double-sided tape with glue. To make a cut, cut the plasticine. Paint the resulting blank and cover it with transparent nail polish so that the plasticine blank remains voluminous.
- Using eyelash glue. This is a simple option; it is used to create small cuts and burns. Apply glue to the area of skin where you plan to make a scar. If bubbles appear during the process, don't worry, this will make the cut even more terrifying. Then wait for the glue to dry. A hairdryer will help speed up the process, just use cold air for drying so that the glue does not spread.
- Using glue and paper. If you want to make the scar more voluminous, then you will need additional fillers in the form of paper or napkins. By the way, if you use PVA glue, it must be diluted. You can stick napkins directly onto the skin, but then it will be more difficult to remove the makeup. It is more practical to use double-sided tape. Cut a piece of tape that will be larger than the scar/cut. Place napkins soaked in glue on the tape in several layers. The more layers you make, the more voluminous the cut will look. Using a knife or toothpick, cut through the layers to make a cut. A toothpick will make the edges ragged. Next, paint the cut with paints and place it on the skin.

Scar decoration
To make the scar makeup at home the most realistic, you need to decorate it with suitable colors. Before applying cosmetics or make-up, wait until the glue has completely hardened, and then start applying make-up. The edges of the cut can be torn and shaped into the desired shape with your fingers.
To ensure that Halloween scar makeup done at home does not cause harm to the skin, you should pay attention to coloring agents: you can choose gouache or acrylic paints, but it is best to use makeup or regular cosmetics.
Important! Dyes that are initially unsuitable for application to the skin can cause redness or rashes.
Also, for coloring, make a solution of red and blue food coloring. To make the transition more invisible at the site of the scar, use foundation - this way the boundaries of the artificial skin will not be visible.

To make a scar or cut for Halloween at home, you do not need to have the skills of a professional make-up artist or special cosmetics. The main thing is to approach the work creatively in order to create a realistic image. Just don’t go overboard so that the painted scar looks aesthetically pleasing.

Which Halloween looks are the hottest right now, and which ones are fading into the background? And is there a certain fashion for images?
Whenever there is a make-up movie coming out before Halloween, everyone always carries that look over to Halloween. Therefore, I am sure that images of movie characters will be popular at all parties. Now I'm talking about the image of the Joker and. Also now the image of Batman and Superman from the film of the same name will be popular. In second place, in my opinion, the image where half of the face is beautiful and half is not so popular will be popular :) And of course, skulls will never go out of fashion, because they are primarily associated with Halloween.
Halloween is not a holiday here, but more of a reason to have fun and show off cool makeup and a cool costume
These three most popular images are constantly changing places: some become more popular, and some become less popular.
Homemade makeup fades into the background. Now everyone is trying to apply makeup beautifully and carefully approach the creation of the image and.
When the holiday first came to Ukraine, everyone tried to do their own makeup. And if before it was cotton wool, blood and everything smeared, now make-up artists are involved in creating images.
Also, not everyone wears terrible makeup these days. Of course, you can make yourself a Terminator, draw deep scars, but the guys like that better, in my opinion. Nowadays, if they draw a scar, it is somehow beautiful and more artistic.
How to put on your own makeup for Halloween so that it is stylish and without dirt on your face?
Well, firstly, you can safely open Youtube, select the make-up you are interested in and perform it step by step. There are also step-by-step pictures and photo instructions. But if you don’t have the skills, you need to try to do the same make-up many times long before Halloween, so that you already have your hands full for the holiday itself. Then everything will work out. But naturally, I advise everyone to definitely use professional makeup or children’s makeup - it’s cheaper. The latter are sold in art stores. They behave normally on the skin and, as intended for children, do not cause any allergies.
Sometimes people paint on their faces with ordinary watercolors - this is very dangerous for the skin. If you don’t want to burn or completely ruin your skin, use special makeup or face painting. And don't use glue (PVA) on your face.
How to apply makeup?
With a regular brush or sponge. In principle, brushes can be bought at an art store: they are much cheaper than professional brushes for makeup artists. They look a little different, but you don’t need any super brushes for makeup. A synthetic brush, which is sold in art stores, is sufficient.
What should this brush look like?
It's similar to a foundation brush, but flatter. To make good and high-quality makeup, you will need at least three brushes of different sizes. Brushes should be rounded. A flat-cut brush will leave streaks on your face.
How to give yourself scars or the effect of sewn skin?
For the effect of sewn skin, you need to use special silicone or latex.
There is two-component silicone (sold in specialized makeup stores). It consists of two jars that need to be mixed together, and then a scar is formed from the resulting mixture on the skin. Then, when the silicone hardens on the skin, you can take a regular needle and thread and stitch this scar on top, creating the appearance of stitched skin.
To make a burn at home, you can take an ordinary thin bag - transparent or, preferably, with a pinkish tint - stretch it, cut it, and stick this stretch on your face.
To avoid burning the skin, glue it with eyelash glue or special sandarac glue. And then apply makeup on top. This trick makes it look like you have a burn on your face and like your skin is splitting apart.
On Halloween, girls are in demand for lipsticks of all kinds of bright colors - blue, green, black, etc. Where can you buy them and is it possible to get the desired shade yourself by mixing lipsticks of different colors, for example?
Can. I once needed a purple lipstick, and I mixed blue eyeliner and pink lipliner on my lips and got the color I wanted. What I mean is that you can just buy cosmetic colored pencils and decorate yourself with them. If you need your makeup to last all day, choose waterproof ones. You can also use shadows to cover the lipstick color to get a different one (for example, blue pearlescent shadows on purple lipstick).
NYX, Atelier, Make Up For Ever, M.A.C., LimeCrime have a lot, Cailyn has very beautiful lipsticks. There are a lot of companies and American cosmetics are famous for their quality. It is hypoallergenic and very pigmented: the color you see in the jar is how it will be in life.
After Pat McGrath released the glossy lip kit, it became a super trend. And you also applied this trend to the main character, a vampire, in the show “The House of Secret Benefits.”
In general, the story with the glitter lips turned out to be very funny, because in fact, before , I've already thought through the image. And then I thought “damn, why didn’t I patent this?” But naturally, I consider her a very cool makeup artist and always rely on her.
Just as glitter is in fashion now, glitter lips will be one hundred percent trendy on Halloween. I think about seventy percent of girls will use glitter in their looks.
In order to do glitter makeup yourself, you don’t have to buy cosmetic glitter (they are very expensive). Construction stores sell dry glitter intended for decoration. They are absolutely no different from professional glitter.

You can also use glitter for nails, but you need to check if there are small grains that are added to add volume to your nails. You need to make sure that the grinding is only made of sparkles.
How to apply glitter and how to make it last the entire party?
First, apply lip liner, then regular bold lipstick the same color as the glitter (for example, blue glitter - blue lipstick) or thick baby makeup. Use the flat part of a synthetic brush to pick up glitter and apply it to your lips. Then you put it on your lips again.
You can use your finger, but you shouldn’t dip the same finger in glitter. After the first application of glitter on your lips, you will have a greasy base on your finger and the next time you apply it with your finger, you will matte the glitter on your lips.
Therefore, you need to apply glitter with different fingers. Also, do not apply glitter on the inner surface of the lips, closer to the mucous membrane. There will be enough lipstick in this place, otherwise you will simply eat too much of this glitter over the course of the evening. If glitter sticks to your skin, remove it with an eyebrow comb (looks like a mascara wand).
Where else can you use glitter?
Now you can do it everywhere :) You can cover your entire neck with glitter and make your face matte. You can make your eyebrows with sparkles. You can apply glitter to your eyebrows.
On the eyes you can apply it to the entire eyelid, under the eyelid. At one of the specialized exhibitions in the States, I even saw men whose beards were completely covered in glitter.
Tell us about the image of Vicky Maremukha, whom you turned into Maleficent. Is it difficult to replicate such beauty yourself?
.jpg)
It's actually not difficult. I did Vick, and then I took eyeliner and drew wreaths with it. And if you powder these veins with whitish powder, you really get the effect that the veins are visible through the skin. Also me, moving from black to red.
Are there any rules and possible taboos regarding Halloween makeup? For example, if this is the image of a vampire, then the face must be matte?
I think anything is possible on Halloween! You can't limit yourself here. Who said you can't use highlighter or you can't have a matte face? Well, first of all, I love highlighters and I love when the face is vibrant and shiny :) But no one canceled matte, so if you come with a matte skull, why not? A shiny skull is even better! I love sparkles, I love highlighters, I love when something shimmers, it always looks more vibrant. But again, our holiday is inanimate, so there can be matte faces, shiny skulls, and whatever your heart desires.
Halloween is a holiday where anything is possible! In addition to daytime and nude makeup, of course. It has nothing to do with Halloween.
For Halloween, can you focus on your eyes and lips at the same time?
Yes. Halloween is the time to break the one-accent rule. Here you don't have to limit yourself to just one thing.
What can you add to your regular evening makeup to turn it into Halloween makeup?
You can add a drop of blood that will flow from the corner of your mouth. You can insert unusual colored lenses - for example, white ones. And that's it, you're ready for Halloween!
How to make blood from improvised means?
Blood can be made by mixing glycerin and red pigment. But if you don't have red pigment, you can use red eyeshadow. You can not mix anything at all and just paint any blood with a brush. If you want it to shine, you can add glycerin on top. You can even draw with tomato juice. Blood with red sparkles will look very beautiful.
If you need to change the shape of your eyebrows for an image (for example, make an angry expression on your face), how can you disguise them in order to draw the desired shape on top?
In general, there is a special eyebrow putty. But if you don’t have it, you can cover your eyebrows with soap. Take a bar of dry soap and thoroughly smear your eyebrows with it until you feel when you touch it that you can’t feel the hairs. If you have thick eyebrows, brush them first to smooth them out.
How can I make it look as if half of my ear is missing or my skin is hanging down? Can you do this yourself?
If you are not involved with makeup, it will be difficult for you to do this. In general, you can actually use latex to make loose skin. Previously I used PVA glue. But if you are already applying PVA glue to your skin, then be sure to apply foundation first so that you do not have any allergies. You apply the glue with a sponge, wait until it dries (you can dry it with a hairdryer), then powder it several times, as if layering it. Then you just peel it off and it comes off, creating the appearance of hanging skin.
And if I want to transform into a zombie, how can I make dead, bluish-brown skin?
You can use purple-bluish shadows or just take a powder brush and completely cover your entire face with these shadows.
If there are no shadows, you can use lipstick, bold or childish makeup: choose several colors, mix them together and achieve the desired effect.
Do eyelashes have to be present in images, or may they not be there somewhere? Can they be painted on with mascara or do I need to use extensions?
It depends on the image, of course. For example, if you are making a skull on the half of your face, it will look more impressive if you paint the beautiful part of the face, and don’t paint the scary part at all. Then it will seem that one eye is large and the other is small. If you have drawn a beautiful skull all over your face, you can use false eyelashes with feathers. It will look very cool!
It all depends on what effect you want to achieve.
How to remove makeup? What remedies will cope with this?
If you use heavy makeup, then you need to wash it off with oil-based products - oils are best, but you can also use a two-phase product. Even Johnson's baby oil will do: apply it to the areas that need to be washed off and wipe with a dry cloth. If it is face painting, then it is washed off with any makeup remover. If this is some kind of special makeup, then only special tools are needed. Sometimes they are alcohol-based. It is also better to wash off eyebrows rubbed with soap, as well as glitter, with a two-phase solution, but they need to be washed off locally, and not rubbed all over the face.
Since we are talking about simulating blood, bullet and other wounds and cuts, today’s topic will be devoted to makeup. How it can be made from available materials, as well as how to apply it correctly.
Stage makeup seems to be only an auxiliary art, through which, however, the artist can transform, according to the type of role he plays, the features of his face, applying various special paints to it, putting on a wig, changing individual parts of his face with moldings and stickers, etc.
The secret of makeup is not to turn a young face into the face of an old man, to make a short upturned nose long, to make small eyes large, etc.; its secret is that the artist, feeling himself to be the character being portrayed, himself transforms his face and makes it, depending on need, either youthfully enthusiastic, or senile or feeble-minded.
About the number of colors on the face
You need to put as little paint as possible on your face: the makeup that uses less paint is better. The less color there is on the face, the less constrained facial expressions are and the more freely facial movements can appear; when, in addition to paints, you have to resort to all sorts of pastings and stickers, then there is no need to say that they terribly interfere with facial expressions. Fortunately, they are most often used in small episodic roles, in which a variety of facial expressions can be sacrificed in favor of a sharp impression made by one appearance.In old makeupThe change in the skull is also important: in old age, the relief of the face increases, the skull is more noticeable, it shows through the skin; Here knowledge of anatomy should come to the rescue. It is necessary to show the cranial depressions and convexities with shadow, brown or gray-blue paint; deepen the cavities of the temples, eyes or cheekbones, and also emphasize the retraction of the upper lip, characteristic of old makeup, which occurs from a lack of teeth. Although there are teeth, the lip will still appear sunken due to the deepening of the space between the mouth and nose, as well as due to the sagging of the lower lip.
It is reproduced in makeup simply: the upper lip, together with the supralabial space, is darkened with gray-blue or brown paint, and the lower lip is highlighted with light, and sometimes white. The lower lip, in turn, is outlined for greater relief with dark paint, if highlighting alone is not enough.
The corners of the mouth are deepened to a greater or lesser extent (with shadow paint); the chin cavity becomes stronger. The brow ridges, cheekbones, bags under the eyes, nose and chin are highlighted.A few makeup secrets:
Instead of "inexpensive powder" it is better to use talc or baby powder. You can also use starch.
You can easily and quickly remove makeup (including from the eyes) with any vegetable oil and cotton wool. Makeup recipes are time-tested and have long had hygiene certificates.
The main thing is not to use old damaged makeup. In this case, no protective cream, much less Vaseline, will help you. Vaseline should be completely banned by law: it dries out the skin, gives makeup unnecessary shine, and prevents the skin from breathing. Do not use Vaseline as a base for makeup! Makeup should be applied to washed skin. If the skin is dry, soften it with a light nourishing cream.
To portray a victim of hunger or fever, you don’t need to emphasize every depression so much and draw wrinkles where there is not even a hint of them! Most often, it is enough to choose the desired complexion to achieve an excellent effect, and slightly highlight the eye sockets with a darker tone. Use regular foundation with the addition of gouache of the desired color - it is absolutely safe and looks very good.
Painted wounds
We will practice on the wrist of the free hand and draw a dried cut wound on it.
Using brown paint, draw a 2mm thick line and lightly brush the edges.
Using paint 2-3 shades lighter than the main one, draw 2 lines parallel to the brown one and blend their edges outward. Do not blend the white lines into the wound, but just soften the edges.
Using the same paint, but with an admixture of blue, highlight or draw the veins. Do this with light strokes, trying not to apply a thick layer of paint.
Where there is a highlight, there should be a shadow nearby: using paint 2-3 shades darker than the main one, lightly shade the drawn veins and folds in the wrist area.
Next, mix burgundy paint with scarlet and draw a thin line in the middle of the brown one. Short black strokes located at the “bottom” of the drawn cut will give greater depth to the wound.
Scars
To draw a decent scar, we will need: dark red, dark brown and light-toned makeup (you can use pencils of the same shades). Stage one: the outline of the future scar is laid out with red makeup - try to do it in one movement, as it would happen in battle. Then, along the lower edge of the “scar,” a slightly wider strip of foundation makeup is laid (the tone should be lighter than your natural skin tone. Along the upper edge of the red stripe, draw a dark brown stripe (creates a feeling of relief and depth of the scar). Finally, the edges are shaded with a feather or finger The scar is usually wider where the scar runs “on the bone" and less where the pattern runs along soft tissue, for example, on the cheek. Where the scar should be deeper, you can add more dark makeup and make the tone lighter.
Attention!
You should use vegetables and fruits to color your skin with extreme caution - tomatoes, for example, cause terrible diathesis and inflammation (if you have nothing else at hand, it is better to use diluted tomato paste rather than fresh tomatoes), and some other fruits can provoke unwanted reaction (if you know the weaknesses of your body, you should not sacrifice it for a five-minute effect). Coal and ash tend to deeply clog the pores of the skin - so after use you should wash with warm soapy water and clean the skin with lotion or even cologne.Should not be used
on the face: poster paints, gel and ballpoint pens, felt-tip pens, chemical pencils. When applying “tattoos” to your arms and body, make sure that the paint you use can be washed off - otherwise, a person’s appearance at work after a weekend of intense gaming can lead to some... inconvenience.We wish you successful disguise! ;)
Recently, more and more often people have a desire to create spectacular images for holidays, masquerades and carnivals. The main element in creating such an image is high-quality makeup, but not in every city you can find specialized theater stores that sell special paints. In this case, you can resort to making your own makeup at home. The main color in this art is white, since it is the basis for further drawing. In this article, we will consider the basic principles of applying and making white makeup without special equipment and hard-to-find components.
Necessary materials for creating white makeup
White makeup is the basis for modeling simple and complex images. Using white theatrical makeup, you can accurately draw the following characters: mime, skeleton, mask, etc.
To create high-quality makeup you will need the following tools:
- actual white theatrical makeup or powder;
- set of brushes for cosmetics;
- cotton pads, sponges, as well as napkins;
- You will need makeup remover. If professional makeup is used, you should prepare baby cream or Vaseline.
Step-by-step DIY white face makeup
The correct application of makeup largely determines how good the overall image will look. White color is the base, so it should lie flat and neat so as not to spoil the color applied on top of it. So, no matter what kind of makeup is used - professional or homemade - the face needs to be prepared. You can remove excess oil by simply washing your face with mild soap or using cleansing milk. It is better to lubricate the skin with moisturizer or apply a makeup base. Dry makeup is applied with a slightly damp sponge, liquid makeup with a dry sponge.
The first step is to apply a thin first coat to the entire desired surface. Then you can apply several more layers depending on the effect you want to achieve. Careful shading of the boundaries is of great importance in the process. When creating makeup on a child’s face, you should not create a thick base, so as not to overload the delicate and sensitive skin.
The further process depends on what image needs to be created. To give the face a realistic look, even on a white base, it is recommended to apply darkening areas in the area of the natural curves of the face - this helps to “revive” the look, but this is not always necessary.
You need to remove makeup using makeup remover. You can also get rid of homemade options without adding fat by simply washing with warm water. After removal, be sure to take care of the skin - apply a soothing mask, moisturize with cream.
How to replace white makeup or what to make it from?
There are situations when there is an urgent need for white makeup, but there is nowhere to get it. In such conditions, you have to be sophisticated and use tricks. Sometimes a white concealer helps out - dense pigmentation gives an even layer of coverage, and you can create a fairly light face. However, good cosmetics cost a lot and it may be necessary to create a pure, unnatural white color for the human face, which will be quite difficult with ordinary non-theatrical means. Oddly enough, making a base at home is realistic and not so difficult. There are several common recipes, you can use any you like.
How to make it from flour with your own hands
To prepare the flour composition you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons flour;
- spoon of corn starch;
- some clean water;
- 2-3 drops of glycerin.
First of all, mix the dry ingredients, then add water little by little, you should get a thick paste, it should not spread. Finally, glycerin is added to the composition and mixed thoroughly. The resulting creamy mass can be used for application to the face.
Making a base for makeup from chalk
The chalk composition must be handled with care, as it can greatly dry out the face. It should not be applied to people who already have dry skin with pronounced areas of flaking. To create a white coating, all you need to do is take a face cream and mix it into a paste with crushed white chalk. The most convenient way to apply this composition is with a makeup brush.
As an option, you can use a mixture of chalk and melted pork fat, but this method is quite labor-intensive and the resulting mixture is hard on the skin.
