Cool Halloween Costume Makeup Ideas

When it comes to Halloween costumes the options are endless, you can do everything from your favorite Disney character, to the traditional raised from the dead goblins, ghosts, and other gory ghouls. The following are some Halloween costume make up ideas for the costumes that require some gore!

Fake glass: Whether you are a zombie, mummy, or something else entirely, fake glass sticking out of your body can really turn up the scary gore factor. To make fake glass you will want to butter a baking sheet and put it into the refrigerator to chill. You want the metal to be cold to the touch. While it is chilling, you will want to pour a cup of sugar into a small pan over a burner set to low. Stir constantly until the sugar melts. It may take a while, but don't stop stirring or you will have a mess on your hands. Once it has melted, you will pour it onto the baking sheet, let it spread out, and cool. The baking sheet has to be cold for this to work. Then break the sugar and remove the pieces to use as fake glass that you combine with putty to attach to your limbs.

Fake blood makeup: Fake blood is a must for gore Halloween costume makeup. To make fake blood use corn syrup and water, and red and blue food coloring. You are going to need one part water to three parts syrup. Then add food coloring to get the color you want. Then add chocolate syrup or peanut butter to thicken it up. This works great for any blood needed. You can let it drip down your head to look like a skull fracture, or out of your mouth if you are a vampire, etc.
 

Fake Intestines: Having your innards falling out of your body is a good way to scare people. To make fake intestines to add to your Halloween costume makeup, yo will need a pair of pantyhose. You are going to cut off both legs, then use a glue gun or sewing machine to make an uneven seam up the middle of each leg, so that it has two sides. Then, cut one side off, so that it is roughly the width of a hot dog. Turn the leg inside out, and stuff with cotton. Twist it at intervals to make it look more realistic. When it is full, stitch the end closed. Then soak in fake blood, and use it to hang from a torn shirt, etc.

Fake bruises: Part of really good gore makeup for Halloween costumes like zombies is realistic bruising. To make a fake bruise, use a dot of deep blue powder eye shadow. Apply it with a makeup brush that has the end wetted before hand. Then, use your finger to add charcoal gray to the blue blot. Once you have done that, you are going to take a shimmery olive green, and using a dry makeup brush, apply to the edges of your "bruise". Then last but not least, use a sponge, or your finger to smudge the bruise.
