10 Easy Halloween Makeup Tricks From a Former Body Painter

While it may be tempting to start off with the brightest or boldest paint color, you'll want to start with the lightest color as your base. This makes the rest of your colors come out more vibrant and makes it easier to blend throughout the process. Even if you're look features primarily darker colors, use some light colors to add depth. If you need an example: think about a clown makeup look. You'd start with a white base, then add a yellow or orange around the cheekbones, nose, and so on. Next, you'd add red as your defining color, then add more depth with blacks and browns.
