5 Essential Extreme Halloween Makeup Tips

1. Use the right products

If you are going to start makeup artistry make sure you get the best products to give you the amazing effects you want to achieve! The makes I use are Snazaroo, Mehron Makeup and Ben Nye.

Practice makes perfect

If you don’t get it right the first time just practice and I guarantee you will receive those gruesome looks you are aiming for.

Try something original

Use your imagination when it comes to your looks, try something a little different to make you stand out from the crowd.

Use inspiration

Do the looks you love from what inspires you, it can be anything. Films, TV shows, music, scenery and other makeup artists.

Don’t give up

If it’s something you love to do, never give up. You never know where your passion can take you!
