There are many Halloween looks for young children and teens. Preschool girls choose looks that are either friendly or fearless. The faces of babies are often painted to resemble a pumpkin, fairy-tale characters (fairies, mermaids) or animals (tiger, dog, zebra). Older girls choose images of witches, monsters. Movie heroines (Harley Quinn, Malificent) are popular among teenagers.
Boys and teenagers love drawings on the face on Halloween in the form of a skeleton, a zombie. Variations in this case can be very different, ranging from a dead man, a pirate and ending with a real headless horseman. Characters from comics and films are popular among boys – the Mad Hatter, Edward Scissorhands, the Joker or the Hulk. Preschool children are happy to choose Spider-Man, Vampire or Batman.
Clown face
Many boys and girls on Halloween choose a clown as their image. This makeup is considered the most popular because it can be funny and scary at the same time. Often the famous character of Stephen King, the dancing clown Pennywise, is taken as a basis. This is a terrible monster that brings fear to people.
The advantage of clown makeup is the simplicity of execution, the disadvantage is that it is not easy to find a wig to complete the look. You can choose different colors for the make-up: white, light beige, blue. Makeup is done like this:
- apply a thick, even layer of white makeup;
- circle your eyes with shadows or draw black streaks around them;
- paint over eyebrows with dark paint or leave them pale;
- paint over the tip of the nose with bright gouache;
- circle your mouth with red lipstick, draw curved lines from the corners of the lips through the cheeks and eyes;
- teeth can be tinted with matte shadows;
- Draw an unkind smile at the corners of your lips.
Zombie makeup
Another favorite character of children on Halloween is the zombie. An essential virtue of the walking dead image is that it is suitable for both boys and girls. A child can do makeup on his own – this is the easiest makeup for Halloween. The basis of the zombie image is a pale or gray face. Stages of creation:
- to achieve the desired shade, it is necessary to mix white and gray paints;
- apply the resulting mixture on your face;
- paint eyes in yellow, purple, red to get a bruise effect;
- make circles around the eyes, apply dark shadows, blend them;

- paint over lips with white makeup;
- draw a black line between the upper and lower lip with a thin brush, bring it beyond the borders of the mouth;

- make the lines of protruding bones and teeth clear, very sharp – liquid eyeliner is suitable for this.
