These days even the skimpy, cheap, mass produced costumes are extremely overpriced. Then you have to pay extra for accessories, makeup, and all the cool little things that make it special. It’s easier to get a little creative and make your own unique outfit that you can tailor to meet your size, needs, wishes, and desires.
One of the easiest ways to create an affordable look that really stands out is by doing some crazy, awesome, freaky makeup. Once you see this tutorial you’ll get what I’m talking about, and you may even be inspired to try it yourself.
The freaky Halloween look in this video was pulled off by Promise Phan. She is an artist who creates awesome and inspirational looks with makeup and teaches viewers how to recreate the looks on her YouTube channel. She always includes a list of all the products she uses in each tutorial and goes over the key essentials to achieving the best results.
In this video she shows viewers how to make what she calls a ‘face in a face’ look. She draws a second face on the side of her face, and when it’s all done it turns out looking really freaky….Which makes it perfect for Halloween!
While it may look hard to recreate, it’s really not all that difficult. As long as you take your time and have some basic drawing skills, you should be able to pull it off. However, it’s always easier to have someone else draw the face on with a steady hand.
Plus, if they are more artistic than you it will look all the more better. If you do decide to try it yourself, Promise recommends that you take a lot of small breaks because it’s very straining on your eyes. Shading and contouring with the correct colors is what makes this look all the more realistic.
You want to copy the depth, curves, and shades of your face to make the side-face match up and look symmetrical as possible. If you follow along to her lead you can pull off this trippy look, and really freak a lot of unsuspecting people out.
So instead of wasting a lot of money on some costume you’ll likely wear only once, spend a little on some face paint and get out your makeup and go to town!
