Are you looking for a last-minute, simple Halloween makeup for kids? We’ve got plenty of easy, cute, and adorably scary Halloween face-painting ideas for you!

Hi, Moms!

Looks like we couldn’t escape the Halloween fever, right? So just today, my 12-year-old son insisted that we do that scary makeup thing for him for the “Trick or Treat.” I thought it would be fun since I used to do that when he was little.

But wait, I am no makeup artist. I know the basics because I always wear one when going out. (I use only light makeup, though.)

Disclaimer: I’m not an expert on this. (wish I were haha)

Let me share some photos and ideas with you about what we did today.

To begin with, I didn’t purchase anything. He has an old costume from two years back, and it’s still in good shape. I only used what we presently have, like the following:

Johnson’s baby powder
red lipstick
Halloween tattoo stickers (unused from my hubby’s Halloween party)

These simple things will do the trick!

Alright, this look is my son’s idea. I’m not even sure if this is creepy enough (LOL), but we sure had fun while doing this. And that’s more important.

This is so easy, Mom! Read on for the step-by-step procedure…

1. Make sure that his face is clean.

2. Apply baby powder until the whole face is white.

3. Put red lipstick (or whatever color you like). I’ve overdone it to achieve “The Joker’s” smile. Then apply jagged marks on those lines.

4. Since I don’t have eyeliner, again, I apply red lipstick heavily around his eyes and then on his nose. Take the sticker of your choice and place it under the eyes and forehead.

5. Wear something black. For my son, it’s his old Vampire costume plus a hat. For photography’s sake, use a flashlight for a scary effect. Taddaaa!!!

So simple, right? I know you can do better than this with your limitless imagination 🙂
