Amazing Halloween Face Paint Ideas

Preparing for a Halloween party? Overwhelmed by thoughts of how to get that scary look? Then you must surely be thinking of masks. Although masks are a common solution, they are not scary enough. As a result, more and more people opt for face painting instead. 

An obvious advantage of facial painting is that, unlike masks, it does not fall off while indulging in party games. However, before opting for these designs, you must keep the following things in mind:

• Take a patch test to check if you are allergic to certain colors.
• Try to go for natural, organic, or herbal colors so as to avoid damage to your skin.
• The design ought to be compatible with your costume.
• You may have to buy various colors to try out these ideas.

• Keep a rough design handy when you are painting the face, for reference.
• Take a trial makeup at least two days before the actual party.

Nothing can be more frightening than wild animals. How about painting your face just to look like a tiger? You can combine this look with a yellowish outfit along with a tail and two ears, and your look for the party is complete. For a more intensive look, add those fake dentures to get that wild, man-eater look. 

If you are excited about sporting those bat wings, then getting your face painted in a similar manner would be perfect. This is one of the best ideas for kids, as you don't have to paint the entire face. Some painting around eyes should serve the purpose.

Who says that the clown always has to be humorous? A joker can get nasty at times, especially on the night of Halloween. This is also one of the popular face painting designs for kids. Use paint to create the image of a sinful, cruel clown.

This is one of the most scary looks. Once the skull painting is over, you can highlight the black color, depicting hollows of the eyes, by adding some radiant, sparkling substance. Combine this look with a skeleton outfit, which is easily available in the local market. This is also a simple design that does not consume much time. 

Enjoy the pleasure of scaring people to death by impersonating a dead man walking around. It is not an easy design, but it is worth the time and efforts spent for painting it. Color your face in a distorted manner depicting blood and flesh. This scary face painting is sure to make chills run down people's spines.  

Apart from these, you can also go for many other simple patterns, such as aliens, fairies, zombies, ghastly ghouls, snakes, and swaggering pirates. They will make for good memories of Halloween parties. Have fun!
