Witch You need watercolours in 3 different shades to make this face paint, in this case, 2 types of green and black have been used. Additionally, you need water for the colour, a sponge as well as a medium sized brush. To make the face paint even more special, you can use black tooth paint and a red watercolour for the hair.			Martian In order to be transformed into a Martian from outer space, you need 3 types of watercolours. In this case, silver, gold and green have been used. Additionally, you need water, a sponge and a thin brush to make the green lines.

Step 1: Apply the green colour using the sponge. By using 2 different green colours the mask will sparkle more. Make black wrinkles using the brush.	Step 2: Outline the black eyebrows and paint the teeth.	Step 3: Finally, you can paint black warts on the nose and a spider web with a spider on the cheek. The spider web is drawn with the starting point of 6 lines from the middle and the spider web that curves in between the 6 lines. The hair is dyed with red watercolour and lasts as long as the face paint, which is easily washed off with water.	Step 1: Dab the silver grey colour on your face using the sponge. Dab the gold colour around the eyes and mouth.	Step 2: Finally, you can apply green colour around the eyes, on the eyebrows and along the cheekbones.

				If you wish to use latex products in the shape of horns, ears and nose, these should be glued on the skin with Mastix Extra (an alcohol based skin glue). You can also choose to paint the mask and use the slightly cheaper plastic ‘body parts’ that typically are fastened with elastics or similar. Start out by painting the white shades using white face paint – use a sponge and tone out the colour. Afterwards, paint the mask medium brown – a ‘tanned’ brown – and finish off with a darker brown in order to create depth and shadow effects. All of this should be applied with a sponge. Paint the eyebrows black, eyeliner and v-hairline using a brush and finish off with a beard that is either glued on or attached in another way.. DIABOLIC!

			Start out by applying the dark brown face paint around the eyes and mouth using a broad brush hereafter the same dark brown colour is applied to the entire face with a sponge – however slightly toned down so that the shades around eyes and mouth appear evident. Outline the eyebrows using black face paint and a brush and finish off with a red lipstick. .		Picture lended from Grimas.		Start out by dividing your face using a brush and black face paint. Let the black line go all the way up to the hairline and down to the neck. After this, use the sponge to spread out the white paint on the one side of the face – remember to slightly tone out the colour – do not let it become too compact. Also use the sponge and a little water to tone out the black around the eye and the shades on the temple and cheek. Draw black teeth on the upper and bottom lip using a brush and furthermore, paint some extra black colour under one nostril. Finally, paint the blood – either by using the sponge or a special stubble-sponge, which adds the nubbly expression. The blood can either be red face paint or ‘film-blood’ (more shiny and thick). TERRIFYING!
