HOW TO: Flawless White Face - Halloween / Costume Makeup

[@maxmaus9888]

For anyone who doesn't have a primer on hand/ can't afford a good one, I use a home made mixture of baby lotion and pure aloe vera gel and it works the same

[@bethysboutique]

muffinlevi e.l.f. make really good inexpensive primer

[@alicialemburg2436]

I've never used white face makeup before and was worried about it looking greasy but I just tried your process and it was so easy and looks great! Thanks so much!! PS I'm using it as a base for a mummy costume and works perfect!

[@bbyqueen749]

Thank you sooo much!! For the life of me, I could not figure out how to apply the cheap face paint from Walmart. It always looked so blotchy and thick, and I thought I was stupid because it looked awful when I did it! I can't wait to try this!

[@leah-uh1ye]

why did you give us a warning you look good without makeup

[@gyrozeppeli289]

Leah and Ashi lol and i was preparing for the worst...shes gorgeous!

[@Mrs_Okpara]

You have the best white face video! Thanks for sharing.

[@lenalednicka]

+FashionistaQueen215 Thank you so much!

[@morbjrn5265]

I am a juggalette and when I go to parties/concerts/take photos I paint my face. The base is white but when I try to apply it the paint comes out streaky! This video helps alot! Thank you so much! Much Clown Love! -Morbjorn

[@noboundaries845]

This is a great method and makes a huge difference with making the makeup smooth. I'm doing a Victorian costume for Halloween.

[@wandaandreu3167]

Hi Lena, thank you so much for this video! I’ve been wanting to make my face white and always failed. I’m going to order the primer now... that’s probably the reason why it came out bad. Lol... This is the first time I googled face painting and you were my first click. Lol You’re adorable!

[@LadyKeara]

This was extremely helpful! I've had quite a challenge for some time with my Mehron white facepaint not covering as evenly as I want, and having it dry up and fall away, and I feel like this will help immensely, thank you very much for your assistance!

[@tatkins99]

Awesome! I'm doing a Paul Stanley costume tonight! Your tips are going to really help! Thx!

[@lenalednicka]

Terrance Atkins Yay! So glad I could help ^_^ Why don't you send me your creation to my facebook fan page? =) I'd love to see how your makeup turned out! =)

[@atlasnox9469]

You seem like an amazing person

[@lenalednicka]

***** Aw thank you so much

[@layladantour6542]

[@BMWDamun]

Beats greasepaint! Thank you, Lenitschka!

[@shonteshields7758]

It can use a foundation brush for white cream makeup to make a vampires,skeletons,and clowns.use a light brown regular foundation to make a basic witch's makeups and more,about foundation brush.

[@redbirdacres]

Thank you for sharing this! Hope I can get my face to look that good for Hallowe'en.

[@lenalednicka]

+redbirdacres Glad I could've helped ^_^ What are you planning to do for Halloween? If you want to, you can send me a pic of your Halloween look to my facebook fan page =)

[@trainglen22]

Best white face video on youtube!! This will help my friend who's going to do the Red Queen for Halloween.

[@lenalednicka]

Yes, a daily moisturizer, just make sure it's one that doesn't have a thick consistency because the point of this is to make the thick face paint smoother and easier to apply =)

[@MariaSanchez1.]

This was so helpful thank you !! I had a hard time working with the cheap Walmart face paint but will try this method

[@1overripetart904]

thank you so much! just tried white make-up for the first time today (BEFORE I saw your video!) and I made a big mess! thank you for the help!

[@stacylitwin1466]

[@shonteshields7758]

Can I wear a regular adult Cleopatra costume the one with black dress to go trick or treating with kids to get some free candy,about October 31st,around the neighborhood.

[@lenalednicka]

That's a great question =) but to be honest I haven't tried it with different colors. When/if I do, I'll definitely get back to you =)

[@2doot]

I will be the puppet from fnaf this year, and I have no idea about how to correctly blend and apply make up. Do you have any tips on how to do this? Also, sorry if you said this in the video and I didn't catch it, but where do you get that white make up that you use, and how much is it? I have been using that creamy, horrible make up that you can get at Walmart or spirit Halloween that comes in the tube, so it doesn't really blend well, but the stuff you have in that little thing seems to be much better quality. Thanks for such a thorough and straightforward video! It was amazingly helpful.

[@lenalednicka]

+Pinkie CupcakePie Glad I could've helped ^_^ The product I use is from Kryolan called Supracolor. Maybe try mixing the product you mentioned with a moisturizer. The Kryolan one doesn't blend in that well if it's on its own either. (well it sort of does but it feels thick and heavy on the skin but the moisturizer makes the texture lighter and more blendable). Let me know how it worked! =)

[@2doot]

Lena Lednicka Thanks. :)

[@FenrirsLover]

Thanks so much for this! I cosplay as Eric Draven AKA The Crow from the Brandon Lee movie and this will help with my face make up so much! I have Snazzaroo, which is a water based make up that is only as thick as you make it, but i still have issues and i see now that my problem was that i wasn't using a sponge and wasn't setting it right, so thanks for the help! I might post a video tutorial for my Crow cosplay and if I do i will list you in the credits!

[@lenalednicka]

FenrirsLover I am so glad my video helped you! ^_^ Did you already do the cosplay? If so, you should send me a picture of your makeup, I'd love to see it =) (you can post it to my facebook fan page) Did you also do the tutorial? =) Went to your channel but I don't see it.

[@delainiebullis7616]

This was really helpful with my halloween costume!!

[@fifiesponja07]

Awesome, thank you! I am dressing up as Gene Simmons for tonight! Hope the makeup will look Kiss-tastic lol

[@ArianaCobriana]

Do you ever run into issues with the makeup looking patchy or thin?

[@queenofspadz]

Why moisturize? is that for general everyday care or does it change how the foundation/powder appear afterwards?

[@KayKatKommentzOnStuff]

Thank you so much! i used your method and it flawlesss!

[@lenalednicka]

+Kay “KayKat” Higurashi Glad to hear that! ^_^ Thanks for watching

[@issbecca1946]

[@jmm95]

Thank you so much for this really good explanation!!! 😊

[@mercedeslee7916]

Question dose this smear with a eye mask?

[@jenniffergarcia9942]

[@ThePrincessSausage]

Thanks for the great tips!

[@lenalednicka]

[@quinoaquina]

Super helpful. Thank youu

[@Kaseus-lq7cj]

I wanted to do a cosplay, but the character has white skin, while I have brown. i know skin colour in such cases is not really a big issue, but i just want to portray the character as accurately as I can. Since it is a more drastic change, will this work for me? As in, will medium-brown skinned people look ashy ?

[@analisenichole7342]

This is going to help me so much, I'm doing an evil ice queen, this is perfect, thank you!

[@lenalednicka]

Analise Apodaca Ooooh! I'd looove to see that! Send me a picture on my facebook fan page. I'm glad I could help you and can't wait to see your creation ^_^

[@Mdmelastrange]

great tips for face painting! But what would you recommend for those who have eyebrows?

[@finnlie5324]

There's some tutorials on KZbin on how to block out your eyebrows :) Pinkstylist has one I think?

[@sarahburroughs8807]

Mdmelastrange glue stick over eyebrows before makeup. Old Queen trick (for anyone who reads this and also wanted to know)

[@karinaxo8867]

This was so helpful thank you x

[@lenalednicka]

***** Glad I could help! ^_^

[@starshine3796]

This was a really helpful tutorial ! can u plz tell me if i can use Dove cream to mix with the paint ? This is very imp for me so plz do reply !

[@lenalednicka]

+Star shine It doesn't matter what kind of moisturizer you use =) But the lighter the texture, the better =) Thanks for watching

[@starshine3796]

Lena Lednicka thank you !

[@StickyRice43]

can you add a touch of foundation to the face paint and moisturizer?

[@shonteshields7758]

can I make me a diy butterfly Halloween costume with butterfly t shirt,some blue skirt, some black blue striped tights,some blue makeup,some blue wig,and some butterfly costume accessories to go trick or treating with kids to get some free candy about October 31st around the neighborhood and can I use a plastic bags for Halloween candy of trick or treating.

[@jennycasanas9955]

I am doing a dia de los muertos makeup and I was wondering if I could use the same technique you used for black makeup? I need to use black face paint around my eyes, but I wasn't sure if I could use moisturizer in that. Thank you!! :)

[@lenalednicka]

+Jenny Casanas I have a sugar skull makeup on my channel that I did recently, so you can have a look how I did it =)

[@torquespectomahawk4980]

PRIMER WAS THE SECRET! OF COURSE!

[@lailag70]

Great tutorial! I am planning on being the Corpse Bride For Halloween. Any suggestions on how to create that pale blue face she has?

[@lenalednicka]

Laila G Aaw, sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, I would suggest mixing blue and white face paints with a moisturizer =) How did your look turn out? =) I'd love to see it! You can post it to my facebook fan page =)

[@lailag70]

Hi! Yes it turned out really nice. I can post the pic to your fb page.

[@jennycasanas9955]

Hi, I am going for a "day of the dead" look with black circles around my eyes to look like a skull. Do you recommend the same technique for black makeup? Using the moisturizer with the black makeup? Thanks! :)

[@kaitlynking9880]

for the black around the eyes you should use eyeshadow not face paint as it will dry and get crusty

[@jennycasanas9955]

Thanks! :)

[@christmanerica]

You look like Kate winslet lol! thanks for the tutorial! Really helped

[@lenalednicka]

***** Oooh, thanks! :D Glad I could help ^_^

[@archivecrim]

i just want this for the joker

[@shonteshields7758]

Can I wear me a regular Adult police officer Halloween costume to go trick or treating with kids to get some free candy about October 31st around the neighborhood, and can I use a plastic bags for Halloween candy of trick or treating for next year.

[@fifiesponja07]

Is it a bad idea to set it in with baby powder?

[@delainiebullis7616]

If you mix the white face paint with a white lotion, will it still be the same like the day cream?

[@Mindfreakfan11]

What would you recommend for doing the heath ledger joker? I really like how the make up in this video turned out, but I feel like the joker should be alot more grittier

[@AstroDancer]

Rufus Spicer just apply the face faint with your hands and raise your eyebrows while putting it on so that you keep your forehead wrinkles not white

[@sammiemarie14]

But it looks patchy and you can still see your skin color beneath because its uneven :/

[@OrtegaX13]

how would you do it with a goatee? and how do u block out your eyebrows?

[@TheInspired79]

OrtegaX13 put a thin layer of vasalein on the edge of anything you don't want the make up to stain. When I color people's hair (I'm a barber) I dip a Q tip into a jar of vasalein and just run it on the perimeter of skin where the hairline starts. The vasalein works as a protective barrier and color won't stain the skin.

[@cutiekika]

Tu é brasileira? Pelo sotaque parece. Anyway, eu tava procurando um vídeo exatamente assim. Muito obrigada!!

[@shonteshields7758]

can I make me a diy black cat Halloween costume with black cat t shirt,some black skirt,some fishnet tights,some black shiny glossy boots,some black shiny glossy long gloves,some spooky cat light up necklace, and a costume accessories to go trick or treating with kids to get some free candy about October 31st,around the neighborhood and can I use a black cat trick or treat tote bag for Halloween candy of trick or treating.

[@melanieescobar3056]

Can I use the airspun powder since I don't have a white one

[@iynque]

I am planning on doing this for my Halloween costume this year, but I could REALLY use some help: I have no idea what a face cream is or which one to buy! :D All of them are $20+ and say things like "age defying" or "wrinkle reducing." I don't need magic snake oil, and I don't want to spend $20+ to paint my face white once. Anyone have any advice on inexpensive face creams that work well with this technique? I bought a $0.99 travel-size Nivea cream... but then I read that Nivea is heavy and not a good choice for this :/

[@DianaDarkPrincess]

umm what did you mix with the face paint? i was kinda lost XD

[@Bunnigrl3]

Does it work with other colors as well?

[@valkerymillenia]

Will the mixing with cream work for water-based paint (like snazaroo body paint that requires water to blend it)? Also, how can someone conceal blemishes under face paint when try a slightly more natural look (like grey colored alien skin)?

[@lenalednicka]

+valkerymillenia I haven't tried it with different face paints, so I guess you'll just have to try and see =) If you need some coverage, add a a bit of foundation to your mix =)

[@brooksstayer2395]

Hello, would you please let me know where I can purchase all of your products. I will be in a play with our local community theatre mid-August.

[@lenalednicka]

brooks stayer Hi! Sorry I'm only getting back to you now. I used Sephora Smoothing Primer, you can obviously get that at Sephora =) But if you don't have one near you, you can find great primers in the drugstore as well. You can get any kind of moisturizer in the drugstore, then the face paint is by Kryolan but if you can't find that or don't want to order online, you can use any kind of white face paint from a costume store. The powder I used was by essence, you can get that in drugstores, or just use any brand that does a white loose powder (one that is not pressed and has white color), I think that kind sets it the best. Hope this helped you! ^_^

[@Aussieshar]

Lena Lednicka soo helpful thank you

[@liltigerlilyluv]

thank you soo much you saved the day

[@lenalednicka]

Aw, thanks!

[@NoYes-gk6nh]

What if u don’t have day cream?

[@mkennasorensen607]

Can this be done with the Mehron fantasy fx face paints? The one that I have is in a tube.

[@lenalednicka]

M'kenna Sorensen I think it can be done with whatever face paint you have =)

[@lenalednicka]

I'm very glad I coul help you out! If you want to, you can send me a picture of your mummy makeup/costume to my facebook page, you can find the link in the description bar. I'd be happy to see what you came up with =)

[@tinatina1299]

daily moisturizer, any kind should work as she said

[@lvlychxn]

thx so much :-)

[@ContessaDent]

Are you French? My Grandmother was born in France. And I spoke when I was small. I am trying to relearn it.

[@samgossom2439]

For step 1 can you use water

[@es.b03]

Whats the thing called you rubbed on you face at the begining and is it like vassaline?😊

[@karafalls2333]

It's a Sephora moisturizer. It kind of makes your face clean and soft before applying makeup or face paint I hear. But I'm pretty sure many moisturizers work too.

[@es.b03]

+Kara Falls ok thankyou😊

[@AC-ff1cn]

It was primer, not a moisturizer.

[@lilliannecalder1204]

who else thought that she already had the white face paint on in the begginning

[@candiia.l.9365]

Actual steps start at 1:23

[@ginalekasdottir1554]

Why not use water activated face paint? One it's dried, it sets, period. You can even buy something that will help keep it from getting diluted with sweat.

[@dracuella]

Because a lot of water-based face paint is really difficult to apply. It will become streaky, patchy and you really need to both practice a lot and do it REALLY FAST before it settles as any wet-on-dry paint is like doing water paint on paper - it makes the overlapped area seem twice as white. I've been using waterbased white for my face for the longest time and meeeeh, it's a pain in the butt >_> Also, waterbased paint will a) dry out, b) rub off, so you need a fixating product to keep it on your face if you're wearing it for longer periods of time. Protip: DON'T get the fixer spray in your eyes, it stings like a mofo o_

[@ginalekasdottir1554]

Okay, disregard my comment, try LA girl pro foundation, they have a foundation lightener which is literally white foundation. set it with translucent powder and it didn't move all day. Even when I got rained on walking to the event.

[@lailag70]

What kind of face paint do you suggest?

[@lenalednicka]

Laila G I love my Kryolan face paint =)

[@alexb4874]

She's already as white as the paint. Need someone who has more melanin in their skin to do a vid

[@bettinaquijano6910]

So sad you didn't do the Catman look when u did the kiss make-up.

[@lenalednicka]

I did Paul Stanley and all ur tips helped. Thx so much. The concert was a blast. I got so many compliments

[@lenalednicka]

Oh I'm so glad to hear that! Do you have a photo of your makeup? I'd love to see it ^_^

[@bettinaquijano6910]

I do however, I don't know how to add it

[@lenalednicka]

You can post it to my facebook fan page =)

[@yourlovelyimlonely]

[@braydenwilliamsonmusic]

You are a beautiful woman!

[@hanmanthhanmanth9024]

ok

[@lisalambert9579]

Random question but does anyone know is it possible to contour over white face paint? I hate how wide my face is when I don't wear my glasses and I feel much better when I sculpt my face with makeup because I feel it slims down my face and, unfortunately I can't wear glasses with my costume this year :( if someone could give me advice asap it would be greatly appreciated

[@Greendaylove1696]

Lisa Lambert I've usually seen people use shades of grey and black to contour with white face paint!

[@kp5267]

Lisa Lambert i use black and gray eyeshadows to contour but if you do also, make sure to BLEND BLEND BLEND. But yeah you should be able to use anything thats not liquid or cream over clown white

[@wannabe1me927]

At school we're only allowed to paint half of our face so I'm trying to find a way to make my skin look pale fully and legally. 😂😅 This helped.

[@lenalednicka]

Absolutely not! =) It's the perfect substitute for a white powder and you know it's safe for your skin because it's made for babies =)

[@christymastin]

Was your sponge wet or dry?

[@LadyAmalthea86]

christymastin the sponge doesn't look any more expanded than when she showed it in the package so I'm assuming she's using it dry.
