It's no secret that makeup is an integral part of the worst holiday of the year - Halloween. That is why the article will focus on the most frightening and winning examples of makeup on occasion.
All Saints' Day
To take part in the celebration of the holiday, the origin of which is little known or, moreover, absolutely nothing - is not entirely correct. Do you know where Halloween comes from?
It is believed that this holiday originates from America. However, this is not quite true! The first people who laid the tradition of celebrating and honoring holy spirits are the British. They were firmly convinced that on this night all kinds of boundaries between the past and the future, between the dead and the living, between material and supernatural events, were erased. And the direct rite of dressing in costumes of spirits (witches, ghosts, werewolves) and decorating people served as a protective barrier from possible negative acts on their part.
In modern times, it is customary to celebrate Halloween on the night of October 31 to November 1, not only in America and countries close to it, but also in Russia.
Witch, vampire or ghost?
According to the majority, the image should be megastreading and intimidating. But this is not so. Remember that Halloween is a celebration of reverence for holy spirits, and they, in turn, are not always awesome. The choice of the final image largely depends on your mental attitude and state. For example, if deep down you associate yourself with a sweet and kind angel, then give makeup a minimum of time and try to make it as natural as possible. But if zombies live inside, then by your own example, depict a sugar skull on your face. Make-up in a similar style is particularly relevant in recent years and will appeal to the most sophisticated critics. Further, I suggest that you familiarize yourself not only with the most popular application methods, but also with some of its inherent features.
What is a sugar skull?
The makeup in such a performance was borrowed from the Mexicans, who use it as a classic make-up on one of the special days when the souls of deceased relatives return to their homes. It is this belief that exists among the peoples of Mexico. And the name of this holiday is the day of the dead.
At first glance it may seem that it is almost impossible to create such a creation of art on your face with your own hand. To refute this opinion, I propose to study several ways of applying makeup called sugar skull.
Makeup №1
The easiest option to depict it on your face without any assistance is to draw a circle around the eyes with a black pencil, retouch your face with white paint to the outlined border, draw an inverted heart on black on the nose, and paint the inner untouched part of the eye of your own free will. For example, you can do this, as in the figure below, or show your own imagination by adding more colors and colors.
At the end of the image, draw lips in accordance with the sample.
Already now you can make sure that the sugar skull is a make-up that does not require special skills and special skills.
Now consider the method a little more complicated.
Makeup №2
It can be seen from the example that in such a case, the sugar skull is a make-up that suits Halloween not only in singles, but also in pairs.
Decorating the image with a couple of elegant, and sometimes cute details, you can easily achieve an unrivaled effect, which, without a doubt, will become the main highlight of the evening.

The photo at the end of the article serves as another example of how to stand out from the crowd and get recognition from peers is a feasible task not only for professional makeup artists, but also for ordinary people.
Remember that both girls and boys can use it. And all because the sugar skull is a make-up that does not have frames and restrictions.
