A Spooky Look

A guide for three Halloween makeup ideas.

Halloween is coming soon, and many are scrambling to find a costume. One may not want to go out and buy a full-on costume but rather use face paint to create a creative look by hand. Here are three looks one could replicate for any Halloween event.
