Halloween is a few weeks away which means another opportunity to play dress up. For this year why not dress up as a Zombie Cheerleader? Not only is dressed up as a cheerleader fun with pom-poms and a cheerleader outfit, it's the perfect spin to combine fun with scary. By the way Halloween costumes are all about the fun and the scary! Create a visible wound by using prosthetics, apply it to your face using spirit gum. You will then need to color your prosthetics with Halloween makeup. Apply some powder to your face and sprinkle some eye shadow on your face.

Halloween makeup is not an exact science but we do know there are some general tips to help you get to your ultimate goal. Imagine incredible Halloween makeup that everyone will be impressed with. Of course good Halloween makeup doesn't simply work by itself. You're going to need a good costume too. When you are out shopping for an outfit and Halloween makeup be sure it is consistent with the ideal character you have in your mind. Are you a werewolf, vampire or zombie?

Whatever Halloween costume outfit you'll be wearing a good idea is to wear some Halloween contacts to cover up your natural eyes to go along with your Halloween makeup. No, you don't need to be a special effects wizard from Stan Winston studios in order to create a memorable Halloween outfit, just a little spit and effort. Think about making use of the makeup you already have and starting from there. For zombies and vampires you're going to want to create some discolored flesh using a white powder. After augmenting your skin tone try to add some blood using Halloween blood makeup.

Halloween wouldn't be perfect without an ode to the classic horror films of seasons past. Remember the spectacular zombies found in the cult George A Romero films like Day of the Dead and Dawn of the Dead. Those stunning zombies looked absolutely great, the zombie makeup still holds up twenty years later. If you're looking to take a dive into the iconic pale white skin, remember we've got some tips that help your Halloween Makeup come alive or should we say make living dead.
Make sure your Halloween makeup, and ideas are complimented by the clothing you wear. A good Mummy knows her fashion and will have the correct clothing for Halloween. Think blood dried, torn clothing but not ragged. Be careful not to scare your unsuspecting neighbors by being too realistic with your character.
