Ten Inspirational Halloween Makeup Ideas

Halloween costumes and make up have come a long way since I was a kid in the seventies. 

 You could buy costumes. And a lot of kids did. They proudly ran from door to door in brightly colored outfits made from thin plastic and masks that rendered them legally blind.

 I think I was lucky. My Mom made such wonderful costumes for us. It was a month long process. Deciding what to be, figuring out how to make it then actually putting it all together.

 Don't you think Halloween is more about making costumes together as a family than it is about the candy?

 Sure I love to gobble up the sweets but its the creating that brings back fond memories.

 I found ten inspirational Halloween make up ideas to share with you. These ideas can be easily made up for adults as they are for kids. Enjoy.





1970's Plastic Masks.

This is my sweet Honey Bunny made up as a zombie. She doesn't looked thrilled but she really is. She had so many compliments.

I found this fiendish fellow and knew right away I had to share him with you. Don't you just love the eyebrows?




Isn't this puppy adorable? Love the tongue hanging out to the side. It's great if you don't want full face coverage.





This make up is such fun. I love the fact that the eye patch is drawn on so it doesn't obstruct this little fellows view




I know, it's another puppy dog. But she is just so darn cute that I had to include her. Again with the tongue - adorable.






My granddaughter picked this one. She adores all the detail put into this young girls leopard face.






I really like the fact that this vampire's fangs are drawn on. Those silly plastic teeth that the kids wear are such a nonsense.




What a pretty little witch. Her face is green but not an overwhelming green. It's her eyebrows that draw your attention then down to her eyes. Nicely done.

 There are literally hundreds of clown faces out there. I choose this one because it is simple, colorful and cheery. Everything I think a clown should be.

Last but not least is skeleton boy.His make up is simple but effective. Even the non-artistic could manage to pull this one off.

I had great fun collecting these pictures for you. I hope you found something inspirational for yourself or a little one in your care. 

Have fun and stay safe this Halloween.

    I love them all. They are so beautiful and inspiring. Though I don't particularly know what halloween smell like because we don't celebrate it here in Nigeria. But it was great reading your post.

      Hi Linda. My granddaughter isn't sure what she wants to dress up as. We have a bit of time to figure it out.

    Amazing ideas Darlene! Thanks so much for sharing them with us over at Let's Get Real. I'm afraid to show these ideas to my kids. They are sure to find an idea that they love and expect me to be able to pull it off. Yikes! Now that is scary.

45+ T-Shirt Refashion Tutorials

Hi, so happy you decided to drop by. Okay, no small talk. Let's get right to the round up. It was a lot of work but I hope you think it was worth it. I tried to choose a variety of sew and no sew projects. Plus there is something for the whole family - sorry, except your hubbies. No offence guys. There just isn't anything out there. Back to the round up. Wondering why I wrote 45+ tutorials?  You probably already know. I didn't. Why would someone write a number then plus. Don't they know how many links they included? I think I finally figured it out. Light bulb! The plus sign is for those blogs that have several t-shirt refashions on their site. Is that right? Oh well that's my guess. Now back to the round up. Sorry one more thing. The links to the original blogs are all listed at the end of the round up. 45+ T-shirt Refashion Tutorials Links to the projects. How To Make a Fashion T-Sh...

DIY Wind Chimes - Recycle Spoons

Image
Hi there. So glad you decided to stop by and check out my DIY wind chimes made from recycled spoons. I had to make something to meet the May Craft Challenge. And I was lucky enough to get all the supplies for under two dollars. Score! Bummer I din't finish it on time. My supplies include six spoons, fishing line, an old candle holder and a clip I had hiding in my stash of goodies. Since I don't have a drill or anything to make holes in the spoons to thread the fishing line through, I had to find a different way to hang my spoons.  If you look at the picture to the left, you can see the spoons are wrapped and tied with the fishing line. I decided to use the candle holder upside down. It just seemed to look better. I tied the spoons to the candle holder - the wind chime base. Then tied the line around the candle holder feet and finally pulled them altogether and tied a knot. If you liked this post, pleas...
