Face Makeup

• Pale, scary, and lifeless - this is what your colour palette must look like too. Start out with a primer and use a pale foundation, lighter than your natural skin shade.
• This easy Halloween makeup is all about a sunken look. Go on to use a bronzer and create sharp, edged contours to create a bony appearance. You can take white eyeliner and draw spooky veins and stitches to add details to this easy Halloween makeup.

Eye Makeup

• Use a green or grey eyeshadow colour and create a smoky, dishevelled look. All the rules go for a toss when it comes to Halloween makeup, untidy creases and smudgy liners are fair game.
• Use purple or green eyeliner to draw a small wing. You can add kajal to your lower lash line and bring definition to this basic Halloween makeup look.

Lip Makeup

For the lips, use a dark lipstick. Try to bleed and smudge the lipstick around on purpose to create a realistic zombie Halloween makeup look. Use red lipstick or a lip liner to create blood-like blemishes around your lips.
