Dracula Costume

Easy Steps on Applying Dracula Makeup

A hair-raising, terrifying Dracula look is not complete without Dracula makeup. You may have a great and complete set of costume—a flowing cape, long-sleeved shirt, pants, and shoes. But you’d still look like a human who just happened to wear a Dracula outfit if you don’t wear a Dracula makeup. This vampire makeup consists of a pale, corpse-like complexion and hollow cheekbones.

Just like in putting regular makeup, the facial skin must be moisturized first. Before you apply makeup for a would-be Dracula, scrub some cleansing lotion or cream all over the face and wipe them off with tissue.

Face:

You have two options: white base makeup and white face powder. If you’re using a base makeup, mix it with a small amount of black or green face paint for a pallid effect. Use a sponge or your fingers to smoothen the base around the face. Begin at the center and work your way down around the neck, around the ears, and up into the hair line. Some people prefer face powder because it is easier to apply and remove. Put the powder across the face using a brush or powder puff.

Eyes:

Use a black eyeliner to make the eyebrows darker and thicker, as well as to detail the shape of the eyes. Put the eyeliner above and under the eyeline as you would when you do regular makeup. If your budget allows it, you may want to purchase contact lenses that look like vampire eyes.

Cheeks:

The Dracula makeup should not highlight the facial bones to achieve the hollow effect and to shift focus on the eyes and mouth. To create a devil, gaunt look, put a shade using a dark gray eyeshadow along the temples and under the facial bones. When you work along the facial bone, start from the ear to the base of the jaw line.

Lips:

Vampires can have either dark lips with blood dripping down from the mouth or pale lips dabbed with powder. The most popular lip colors for Dracula get-ups are glossy black and bloody red.

Fake Blood and Fake Vampire Teeth:

You can make the fake blood from the mouth look real. Add a few drops of red food coloring to a little corn syrup. To make the blood look real, put a single drop of blue food coloring on the mixture. You can also buy fake blood, but make sure you get only non-toxic and safe ones.
