Face Makeup for a Halloween Tradition

Face makeup is just what us girls needed for our annual Halloween tradition. My girlfriends and I don’t have any kids to take trick-or-treating, but we have always gotten together and dressed up for our special event. We dress up and then volunteer at our local city’s Halloween festivities for the kids. It is a good way to volunteer and it gives us a good excuse to get dressed up, which of course is the most fun part of it all. Every year we seem to get more elaborate with our costumes. Five years ago, I remember that most of my girlfriends and I just pulled out vintage clothing that we already had in our closets or went to the thrift shop and purchased something. Now we think about it long ahead of time. Many of us create the costumes ourselves. I know how to sew, so this is easy for me, but I usually have to help out my girls that don’t know how to sew and so we get started extra early. Funny thing is, our costumes have always been focused on apparel and homemade face masks. This year, the idea was brought up of face paint. Can’t believe we hadn’t thought of this before! This face makeup thing was going to be a fun new avenue to explore.
Use Face Makeup For That Perfect Look
The idea of face paint to go along with our Halloween costumes sounded like an easy addition. When we got to thinking about it though, there were going to be a lot of technicalities involved. First of all, we thought it might be best if we got together ahead of time to practice. But what were we going to practice? Then, we decided that everyone who wanted to use face painting makeup should bring a picture or example of what they wanted it to look like. Then, we could all try our hand at it and see who could make it look the best. Believe me; we were not going to go to our city Halloween party looking like idiots. Or I should clarify, looking like more of an idiot than being adults who still dress up for Halloween. Oh yea, it’s for the kids remember? Anyway, it was decided that we would practice at my house the week before and we would gather after lunch on Halloween to get dressed before the event. It is going to be great this year because Halloween is actually on Saturday, so we could get together as early as we wanted. Well, if we are going all in for this face makeup you know what we had to do next...
