Make Your Own HALLOWEEN MAKE-UP!

" Bubble Bubble, toil and trouble… " I'll depart from discussing birds for

this Holiday Update! Here's a surefire batch of scary brews and monster

mish-mashes you can stir up yourself in no time. I'm not sure who made

these up, but I've had these directions around for some time. The

costume cosmetics below are all made from ingredients you probably

already have in your pantry. They are non-toxic (in other words, they

are not poisonous) but NONE of the recipes are meant to be eaten.

 

CAUTION! Some of these WILL STAIN some clothes. All will wash off your

skin with soap and water. Happy Halloween and Great Ghouling! Melani

Ingredients

 

2-1/2 Tablespoons water

60-70 drops of red food coloring

10-15 drops yellow food coloring

2-3 drops blue food coloring

5-1/2 Tablespoons white corn syrup

 

Directions

 

1. Mix all of the food colorings and water together.

 

2. Slowly stir in the corn syrup until the mixture is thick, but still

" slides " down your arm. (This goop will stain your clothing, so don't

wear the good stuff!)

 

3. Smear it on your skin wherever you want the " blood " to be.

 

Adult Supervision Required!

 

Equipment

 

Two paintbrushes

Small saucepan (if using a microwave, you will need a glass 1-cup

measuring cup)

 

Ingredients

 

Cornmeal

Corn syrup

Red or brown water colors or makeup blush or rouge

One envelope

unflavored gelatin, like Knox brand.

 

Directions

 

1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over ¼ cup of cold water. Let

stand one minute. Then stir over low heat until all of the gelatin is

completely dissolved. (Microwave Directions: In a 1-cup glass measuring

cup, sprinkle one envelope gelatin over ¼ cup of cold water, let stand 2

minutes. Microwave on HIGH {Full power} for 40 seconds, stir well, then

let stand 2 more minutes until gelatin is completely dissolved. Let it

cool completely before using!)

 

2. Paint or smear a thin coat of corn syrup on your skin the shape you

want your scabs to be.

 

3. Cover the syrup with a thick layer of cornmeal. Let it sit for 2

minutes, then carefully tap off the excess.

 

4. Use the paints or makeup to color the cornmeal patches.

 

5. With a paintbrush, paint the COOLED gelatin mixture over and around

the scab. Do this VERY GENTLY so you don't brush off the cornmeal. (The

gelatin " seals " it in place).

 

 

 

Equipment

 

None

 

Ingredients

 

Whole peppercorns white or black

Corn syrup or eyelash glue

Hair bristles from a paintbrush or out of your hair brush

(Optional) Non-toxic watercolors (the kind you use in grade school)

 

Directions

 

1. Glue peppercorns to your hands or face using the corn syrup or

eyelash glue. KEEP PEPPERCORNS AWAY FROM YOUR EYES! You may have to hold

them in place until the glue or syrup is dry.

 

2. Dip one end of the hairs in the glue or syrup and attach to the

peppercorn, so they look hairy.

 

3. Use the paints to color them creepy!
