Halloween Makeup

Halloween face paint and special effects makeup lets you build a look no costume can, from a clean face paint job to prosthetics and liquid latex. The Base Warehouse stocks Halloween makeup from $2.50 to $23.99, including professional Sweidas pancake and Paradise Make-up AQ.

What is in the makeup range

Sweidas monotone pancake in 30g pots covers the core colours: black, beige, aqua, cool grey, fuschia, lime green, ocean blue, violet and bubble gum pink. Paradise Make-up AQ handles the water activated work where you want a crisp edge. For special effects there is Pro FX liquid latex, spirit gum in 4ml and 30ml with a brush, and spirit gum remover. Pair it with fake blood and fake teeth for a finished horror look.

Getting a face paint job to last the night

Start with a clean dry face and a thin barrier of moisturiser. Build colour in thin layers and let each one dry rather than loading it on. Set the finished job with a light dusting of translucent powder and it will survive a warm night. Spirit gum is what holds prosthetics, latex pieces and loose hair in place, and it needs the remover to come off cleanly, so buy the pair together. Always patch test latex and spirit gum on the inside of the wrist a day before. For a full transformation, see our costume contact lenses, and always follow the packet directions.
