Image: Fairy-tale characters
The brighter the children's party, the more fun the participants will have! Therefore, parents, having agreed in advance, can dress their kids in different, unique costumes so that there is no need to compare. Well, you must admit, it will hardly be fun if five devils and six angels come to the holiday.
Let's think about it! If a themed matinee, for example, is organized at a school or kindergarten, it will definitely not be possible to come to an agreement with everyone. Here parents will have to use their imagination and come up with the most unique costume possible, so that others have little chance of accidentally repeating it.
But if adults who know each other well are throwing a party for their children, then this is a completely different matter! You can come up with a whole performance for your kids by thinking through the script in advance and assigning roles. It will be simply wonderful and very exciting if their fathers and mothers join their children. The holiday can be organized in such a way that there is enough space for everyone!
This will make it even more interesting! And if it’s not difficult to make a DIY Halloween costume for children, then themed outfits for adults are even easier! Each of us has things in our wardrobe that can be used in one way or another.
Let's think about which fairy tale characters are the most popular among children? If we talk about the heroes of Russian folk tales, then these can be the Bogatyrs, Baba Yaga, Serpent Gorynych, Vasilisa the Wise, Leshy, the Frog Princess, the Firebird and many other heroes who are loved not only by our children, but also by ourselves.
Costumes and makeup for children for Halloween can be very different here! Read a fairy tale to your child, remember what these heroes looked like and what character traits they differed from. This will determine what hairstyle to choose, what Halloween makeup to come up with in order to turn your child’s life into a real fairy tale at least for some time.

On Halloween, not only Cat Women roam the streets, but also the sisters of the Cheshire Cat, black witches and little kittens - children made up to look like these animals. Do you want to get to know them better?
How to Apply Baby Makeup for Halloween - Instructions for Creating a Cat Face
The simplest children's makeup is to draw a cat's nose and whiskers on the child's face. To do this, use face painting - it does not cause allergies. The sequence of steps to create the image of a cute animal is as follows:
- Draw a circle around the mouth and nose and paint it with white paint. Against its background, the cat’s black mustache and nose will be especially noticeable.
- We draw dots near the nose, and draw a line down from the nose, towards the lip.
- Under the girl’s lip we depict a kitten’s tongue in red.
- We put a headband with “ears” on our head.
If you want to create the Cheshire Cat, don't forget his signature smile with many teeth.
Mummy
This is the simplest makeup for boys. Anyone can do it, since it does not require special skills or a lot of time.
Work process:
- It is necessary to prepare your face. Areas that will be visible from under the bandages are tinted in a light tone. For this purpose, foundation is used.

Witch makeup for Halloween for children
When deciding to give your child witch makeup for Halloween, decide who the magical character will be - a good or evil hero. Each look requires the use of different cosmetics.
Children's makeup for a good witch
The good witch is always a cheerful, mischievous lady, in a colorful dress and bright makeup. When working on makeup for a good witch, you need to pay attention to every part of the face. It is acceptable to create a feminine image of a little witch: drawings of butterflies and flowers on the cheeks.
Children's makeup for a bad witch
A bad witch must wear black or burgundy lipstick, have a greenish or bluish complexion and warts on her nose. Using black paint, you can “remove” several of the evil sorceress’s teeth by painting over their white enamel. Such a sorceress needs to depict depressions on her cheeks, and wrinkles under her eyes and on her neck.
Halloween makeup for boys - How to draw a Jason Voorhees mask
Boys most often ask their parents to help them create the image of an evil hero on Halloween. Such a negative character as Jason Voorhees is very popular among boys who are fond of horror films and scary comics. Jason first appeared in the film “Friday the 13th” in 1980 and “lived” in other horror series until 2009! He still appears occasionally - more and more on the streets at night on All Saints' Day. Before October 31, stores are actively offering visitors to purchase Voorhees masks, but you can make them yourself: just paint the details of the image with makeup on your face.
Video on creating the image of Jason Voorhees - Applying makeup for Halloween
The easiest and cheapest option to draw the face of this killer movie hero is to use white, red and black makeup. First you should draw the black eye sockets, and then cover the entire face with white paint. After the base of the mask has dried, you should draw “holes” (black dots) and red stripes on it, like Jason himself in the movie “Friday the 13th”.
Halloween Makeup for Guys - Applying a Skeleton Drawing
Skeleton and Skull makeup remains one of the most sought after Halloween makeup looks. To create it, it is enough to have black and white paint on hand. However, it is difficult to make such a drawing on yourself, especially if you want to see a realistic image of the All Saints Day hero. Guys can ask their girlfriends to help them cope with difficult, but worth the effort, work.
Sequence of applying Skeleton makeup for Halloween - Photos and videos with examples
First, an even layer of white makeup is applied to the face (washed and wiped dry). After it dries, the area around the eyes is painted over with black paint - this is how the eye sockets of the skull appear. The nose and cheekbones are also drawn in black. The master completes the work by creating teeth - they are “drawn” directly on the lips or around the mouth.
A vampire
The image of a vampire can easily be considered one of the most popular characters for a Halloween party. It can be accomplished without the help of professionals. To do this, prepare:
- face painting or theatrical makeup;
- Foundation;
- black cosmetic pencil, eyeliner;
- artificial blood;
- special overlays for teeth;
- white or red lenses.
The characteristic features of a classic vampire are a pale, even slightly bluish face and sunken eyes. Wounds and cuts on the face are unusual for the vampire image and are performed at will. Famous vampire heroes - Dracula, Edward from the movie "Twilight".
Making a vampire make-up:
- Prepare your skin for makeup: clean your face, neck and ears with cosmetic milk, wipe with alcohol-based tonic and moisturize with cream. Remove excess moisture with paper towels.
- To lighten your skin, use a light foundation or theatrical makeup. To make the image more convincing and look deathly pale, you can add a little blue. Don't forget to also highlight the surface of your lips.
- Use brown and gray color to work on the area around the eyes and cheekbones.
- Define your eyebrows with a black pencil.
- Place special fang covers on your teeth. You can add a little artificial blood flowing from the mouth. This technique will add expressiveness and colorfulness to the image.
- Wear red or white lenses.
High-quality makeup is only half the success. No less important are facial expressions, eyes and hairstyle. Practice in front of a mirror, look at others coldly and with interest, like a wolf at a young lamb. Be sure to add some gray to your hair.
Important! Before applying makeup, shave your facial hair as thoroughly as possible. Stubble will not allow you to apply makeup evenly and create a convincing image.

When is Halloween celebrated, what date?
Halloween is an ancient holiday that is usually celebrated on the last day of October. People celebrate the completion of the harvest. It is on the 31st that festivities are held on this occasion. Since ancient times, the soil was considered a deity because it fed people. This is why people felt it was important to “pay homage” to the land and bless it for the next harvest season.
But, besides thanking the soil, people believed that it was on this day that it had power, and therefore they were afraid of it. It’s not for nothing that Halloween is called the holiday of “all the dead.” It was believed that the earth was endowed with the power to resurrect the dead and buried ancestors in it.
To prevent the resurrected dead from bringing devastation and chaos into the world of the living, it was decided to use all possible means to scare them away. For this, people dressed up in scary costumes and masks , similar to the images of ghosts and evil spirits. The resurrected did not recognize people and considered them similar to themselves, and therefore went away into the ground the next morning.
The traditions of celebrating Halloween have been preserved in our modern world. Not every country and family celebrates this holiday. But, nevertheless, everyone knows about it and everyone is interested in it. Halloween parties are organized by many public organizations, student companies, groups and even schoolchildren. This holiday has deep religious roots and therefore has the right to exist.
It is customary to celebrate Halloween in a pompous and fun way . Every family should decorate their home according to the theme of the holiday. In addition, unexpected guests can come to every house. They should definitely be accepted by treating them to something tasty. That is why it is customary to arrange special “food zones” (“Food zones”, from the word “food” - “food”). These areas may contain sweets, snacks and drinks.

Makeup for guys with beards - Halloween Ideas
Makeup is always applied to clean skin. But what about guys with beards in this case? It's simple - in this case the beard becomes part of the image and adds charm and a little creepy charm to the young man. At the same time, the owner of thick facial hair can “try on” the image of the Skull, Skeleton, Werewolf, and Monster from “The Scarlet Flower.” You can dress up as the Woodcutter or the Scarecrow from “The Wizard of Oz,” the Pirate from “Treasure Island,” Jack Sparrow, a charming vampire... If you purchase tinted shampoo or temporary hair dye, you can make your beard blue, red, or green. Don't be afraid of your imagination before Halloween - it will tell you how to make the right choice.
Halloween Makeup Ideas for Guys with Beards
When choosing a Halloween costume, guys with beards should take into account all the features of applying makeup to their face in advance. It is best for such young people to focus on “bearded” characters from comics, horror films and thrillers.
Jack Sparrow
A great option is the Jack Sparrow costume from Pirates of the Caribbean. Here you can weave wooden beads into your beard, and apply makeup on your face similar to what Johnny Depp’s hero wore.
Werewolf
Here you should add Werewolf “vegetation” to your beard. Using a special skin glue, you can create the monster's characteristic wrinkles. Don't forget about fangs - these false toy jaws are sold in joke shops.
Bearded clown
Don't skimp on white makeup - even cover your beard with it. Against this background, the character’s red or black mouth always stands out especially clearly.
All Saints' Day, which always comes on the last day of October, is a wonderful occasion to dress up as monsters, vampires, skeletons, cats, witches and ghouls, zombies and werewolves, horror movie characters Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees. At the same time, when working on a costume, do not forget about special makeup for Halloween. It, like the outfits for October 31st, can be easily made at home, with your own hands or with the help of friends. Children, boys and girls, will be helped with this by their parents, boys and girls - by their friends. A week or two before the holiday, you will need to purchase the necessary paints, face painting, cosmetics and all the ingredients mentioned in the description of examples of photos and videos of makeup on this page. Be patient - it is better to work on creating the image slowly but efficiently. For men with a beard, we advise you to purchase a special temporary tinted hair dye - this will make it easier to turn into the terrible Werewolf, Jack Sparrow, Evil Wizard, and Wizard from Harry Potter's Hogwarts school.

Image: Angel
All little children look like angels even without costumes. But a holiday is a holiday, and parents will still have to make some efforts to make a real Angel out of their child.
Ideas for a Halloween costume can be chosen completely different, but, in general, in order to help your child transform into this fairy-tale image, it is enough to dress him in white clothes. It could be a dress for a girl or a suit for a boy, something resembling a hoodie - whatever you find in your closet will do.
A must-have is the wings. And if you have a DIY children’s Halloween costume for the image of an Angel ready, then you’ll have to go to the store to get the wings. There you can purchase a halo and buy a magic wand. Let the fairy tale be embodied in every detail!
The hairstyle of a child who goes to a party dressed as an Angel should be as natural and neat as possible. If your daughter has long hair, it is better to braid it or tie it in a ponytail so that the festive hairstyle does not interfere with her having fun with friends, and the children do not accidentally hurt the girl.
You don't need makeup to look like an Angel either. The only thing you can afford to do is lightly brown the little angel’s cheeks with decorative cosmetics.
