How to do you child's Halloween Makeup

How to do you child's Halloween makeup! ... Whether you are making up a Princess or a Vampire, you can make your kids Halloween extra fun and creative with a few simple tips!

It’s that time of year again!   Halloween is an exciting time for children (and adults, I still love dressing up into something creative!)  Most of the time, I just search my closets and make my own authentic costume!  But, I realize for kids, you “have” to get the  “official” costume at the Halloween store! 

But, many moms ask me how to do Halloween makeup.  Now, I am no expert in “scary” makeup (although, my niece and nephews seem to THINK I am!)  I specialize in “beauty.”  But, love to experiment when it comes to Halloween ghouls, zombies, vampires, witches, etc….   You can too!

Last year, my niece asked me to make her into a “Goth Doll” (I must admit, I had no idea what exactly that was!)  So, I googled it, printed out the photo, and did my magic.  But, added black jewels to her face, I always have to add sparkle!  You can get all types of jewels at Michaels craft store.  There are ones with adhesive on them already, or, you can get non-stick and just use a drop of eyelash glue to stick onto the face.   If your trying to makeup a Princess, Fairy, or Rock Star…. You can never go wrong with gems, glitter makeup and lipgloss!

That’s all you have to do!  Try to replicate it as best you can, and add your own creative touch!  Kids will appreciate any kind of makeup!   Just have fun with it and get creative!

(To remove, my HTC Makeup Wipes take off with one wipe, but you can also just use Baby wipes and eye makeup remover.)
