D.I.Y Halloween makeup.
Facepaint substitute for sensitive skin.
I'm sorry to say that these three costumes are not home-made. My skills can not stretch this far without serious amounts of time and money to dedicate to the cause.
They have been borrowed, bought and recycled.

But, luckily, they are just as much fun to wear.
Although, I am not too sure Jake would agree with me...poor boy!

Halloween fun, Part 3
A Witch, a Skeleton and a Hell Hound (aka Bat dog):
Check out Part 1: Ghostly terrors and Part 2: The Witch's Cat for more ideas.
The little ones had loads of fun dressing up and going 'on the hunt' with our very own Hell-Hound....Bat dog (don't worry folks, it is only Jake in disguise).
The Witch costume consisted of an old dress and hat, bought from a charity shop (this one is nice), Tights (like these), a Broomstick, Wig (like this) and black boots.
The make up is so quick and easy....you can be made up, and out scaring, in a matter of minutes.
For this Simple Witch makeup you will need:
- Black or grey eyeshadow
- Green eyeshadow
- Brown eyeliner pencil
- Black lipstick
Notice how the makeup is missing from her chin and nose tip?
Bat dog got in on the act and, as the witch tried to eat him, he licked off her makeup!
Not phased at all by her transformation.

What to do:
- Cover the face with green shadow or dust (I used Mac pigment) using a brush.
- Darken around the eyes using grey or black shadow.
- Draw free-flowing lines, where wrinkles would naturally form. It was easy to do on me (mine are pretty well developed!) but it is trickier on the perfect face of a child.
- Blacken the lips and a couple of teeth (lipstick stays on the teeth surprisingly well if you dry them first).
- Add some attitude and you are good to go!
Too much hilarity considering they were meant to be 'terrifying'....focus please!
