It's no secret that makeup is an integral part of the scariest holiday of the year - Halloween. That is why this article will focus on the most frightening and winning examples of make-up for the occasion.

All Saints' Day

To take part in the celebration of a holiday, the origin of which is known little or, moreover, nothing at all is not quite right. Do you know where Halloween comes from?

It is generally accepted that this holiday originates from America. However, this is not quite true! The first people who laid the tradition of celebrating and honoring holy spirits were the British. They were firmly convinced that on this night all sorts of boundaries between the past and the future, between the dead and the living, between material and supernatural events are erased. And the direct ritual of dressing in costumes of spirits (witches, ghosts, werewolves) and decorating faces served as a protective barrier against possible negative acts on their part.

In modern times, it is customary to celebrate Halloween on the night of October 31 to November 1, not only in America and countries close to it, but also in Russia.

Witch, vampire or ghost?

According toAccording to the majority, the image should be mega-terrible and frightening. But this is not so either. Remember that Halloween is a holiday of honoring the holy spirits, and they, in turn, are not always frightening. The choice of the final image largely depends on your mental attitude and state. For example, if deep down you associate yourself with the sweetest and kindest angel, then spend a minimum of time on makeup and try to make it as natural as possible. But if a zombie lives inside, then draw a sugar skull on your face by your own example. Makeup in this style is especially relevant in recent years and will appeal to the most sophisticated critics. Next, I suggest that you familiarize yourself not only with the most popular methods of application, but also with some of its inherent features.

What is a sugar skull?

The make-up in this design is borrowed from the Mexicans, who use it as a classic make-up on one of the special days when the souls of deceased relatives return to their homes. It is this belief that exists among the peoples of Mexico. And the name of this holiday is the day of the dead.

At first glance, it may seem that it is almost impossible to create such a work of art on the face with your own hands. To refute such an opinion, I propose to study several ways to apply makeup called a sugar skull.

The easiest way to depict it on your face without outside help is to draw a circle around the eyes with a black pencil, retouch the face with white paint to the outlined border,on the nose, draw an inverted heart in black, and paint over the inner untouched part of the eye as you wish. For example, you can do it as in the picture below, or show your own imagination by adding more colors and colors.

Finish the look with lips according to the pattern.

Already now you can be sure that the sugar skull is a make-up that does not require special skills and special skills.

Now let's look at a slightly more complicated way.
