I don't think that you should have to buy a full Halloween makeup kit if you don't want to. Halloween's coming up, and when you check out all the shops that pop up around this time of year, they always have an impressive set of grease paints and little sponges--for a price. Why not cut some corners and save?
Here are some top Halloween makeup tricks for you to test out, but keep one thing in mind--these products should be patch tested on your inner arm before you apply them all over your face. If you don't do that, you could end up with a horrific Halloween face after your makeup comes off, too!
Dark Circles: Do you need a Dead Bride or Ghostly Cheerleader face? Forget the expensive makeup and simply pick up Wet 'n' Wild eyeshadow and eyeliner, and go to town smudging and smearing. You'll save around $5 when you pick up $1/each tools at the drugstore.
Homemade Blood: This is one of the biggest rip-offs out there, because it is so easy to make. Combine half a bottle of light corn syrup with a dribble of hot water for the proper consistency, and then add one teaspoon of dish detergent and drops of red food coloring. You can store this in the fridge, and to use it, simply apply Vaseline or cold cream to your face first, and then smear away. Grotesque!
Bruises: Bruises do not need to be crafted with a special kit, either. Buy cheap eyeshadow in black, green, and dark blue, or grab some of your own that you don't like or never use. Add blotches of blue with your fingertips, touching it up with the black and green.
Halloween on a budget really isn't too bad, and you don't have to be a ghost, either.
