Make Up Games: Fairy Faces


Have you ever wanted to make a fairy face? Halloween is the perfect time to test your make up game abilities by creating a beautiful glowing ambiance suitable to a fairy.

Start with a good washing and then apply a moisturizer. You’ll want your face hydrated and protected from the face paints that are to come. Use a heavy base on your entire face and blend it carefully into your neck. Don’t yet apply powder

Use grease paints or Halloween face paints to create vines, cobwebs and butterflies on your face. Fairy make up games should be delicate, so opt for pastels and keep your designs light. A scrolling vine and flowers down your cheek might be an option or you might want to crown your brow with scrollwork and color.

When you have your designs complete, dust your face lightly with glitter. You can apply a bit of extra glitter over the area you just colored if you’d like. Finally, cover your entire face with a transparent power, like your face powder, to help blend the paint into your normal make-up – this makes it appear as though it is part of your face, a bit muted, but still sparkly.
