Makeup Ideas to Go With White Contacts for Halloween
- White contacts work well with a zombie costume for Halloween. In combination with the pasty white makeup on your face, the white contacts will give a feeling of the walking "dead." Plus, any color you add for effect, like blood, will look striking in contrast.
- An evil witch can be made twice as scary by adding white contacts to her ensemble. By removing color from her eyes, the witch appears to be inhuman. Apply white costume makeup to your entire face and use a black eyebrow pencil to darken your brows into an arch shape. Make the white contacts really stand out by adding black eyeliner around the outside of your eyes and thick black mascara. Add jet black hair, bright red lipstick and nails, along with a black peaked hat, black cape, and don't forget the broom. Have her hold a rubber rat in one hand.
- Seeing a vampire is eerie enough with his fanged teeth and pale skin due to the cold blood coursing through his veins. Add pasty white costume makeup, fake blood dripping from your mouth, and hide your face under the folds of your vampire cloak, revealing only your white eyes. For added drama, use black eyeliner around the outside of your eyes. This will surely convince everyone that you are the real deal.
- A wolf is a mythical creature, both revered and feared. History has many recountings of wolf attacks and it seems there is always a mythical white wolf. Put on your fur costume, sharpen your claws, and slip in a pair of white contact lenses to put fear in the heart of any trick-or-treater. Apply white costume makeup all over your face, covering your natural eyebrows as much as possible. When done, use the broad-side of a brown or black makeup pencil to rough in the appearance of fur with pointed, jagged strokes. Rub it in with your fingers to soften the look. Add a black wolf nose by drawing over the top of your nose with a black makeup pencil. Then bring a black line down from the bottom of your nose to the top of your mouth, filling in your mouth in black makeup pencil as well.
