A classic witch Halloween costume and trusty hat - we've got a few fab baby, toddler and beyond options to check out.
Step 1
Using a damp sponge, apply a layer of turquoise or green paint all over the face as a base.
Step 2
With a brush, paint lilac or purple over the entire eyelid and eyebrow finishing in a point at the temple. Apply the same colour in a line under the eye sweeping down to a point at the top of the cheekbone. Paint the lips in the same shade.
Step 3
Using black paint, create thick, bushy eyebrows by painting thick lines along the upper edge of the lilac shape around the eyes. Add black strokes at the outside corner of the eyes.
Get creative by adding a moon, stars, a beauty spot and even a cat, to complete the effect.
Finally, add some sparkle to the black areas by using silver glitter gel.
