I love to paint. When it comes to Halloween there are many different things to paint. One year instead of carving a pumpkin I painted a witches face on the front of a pumpkin. I did this by using green paint for her face, and black paint for shading. I gave her a big brown mole on her nose, and scary red eyes. I then made the stem of the pumpkin the point of her hat by painting it black and made a circle around the top with black paint for the rest of her hat. It was a big hit and I received many compliments.
Another thing I am known for painting is bruises on people’s faces. Two years ago a friend of mine was a prisoner, so I gave him a black eye. I did not use paint, I used different eye shadow shades and a brush and most people throughout the night thought it was a real black-eye. I started out using a base of concealer so the eye shadow stuck well. I then did a base of purple lightly dusted on. Over that I did a light dusting of blue and a little bit of yellow. Finally I dabbed black in random spots.
Another fun painting idea is two little red dots on a person’s neck to represent a “vampire bite.” This vampire bite can be combined with any costume, as a little extra! This is a fun idea because sometimes it takes other partygoers awhile to notice what happened to your neck! This is a great conversation starter. To do this use red lipstick can be dabbed far enough apart to represent the sharp teeth. To make it look a little more 3-D, black eyeliner can be used to shade the bottom of each bite mark.
Hope these Halloween tricks enhance your parties this year!
