- Use a palette to mix your colors, I just used the lid of the costume makeup container I bought but it was super helpful to have somewhere, other than my arm, to mix and remix the colors when I needed more.
- I mixed the green paint with foundation; at first, I simply applied the green paint, thinking it would be heavy enough, but it didn't look very thick or even so I went back and mixed it with my normal foundation, heavy on the green. I've been using NYX matte foundation and I'm really liking it.
- Mix for contouring with concealer so it will be nice and thick.
- Use a transparent powder to set-I applied E.L.F. High Definition Finishing Powder to set the green and keep it from being too sticky.
- Over dramatize your colors: A normal peachy blush isn't really going to show up over the green. I used a purplish blush, and plenty of it. Also, I normally use MAC's BBQ for my eyebrows but that wasn't dark enough so I used Kohl instead.
I had a BLAST with this totally authentic look and, other than it being a bit sticky towards the end of the night with all the dancing, couldn't even feel it on my face which I partially attribute to using my normal foundation.
Happy Halloween and good luck!!
