Halloween 2009 - Wicked Witch of the West Makeup Application

Music: Scary Sounds-Horror Sounds-Evil Theme Great Haunted House Music to Mix; Halloween Scary Sounds-Erie Music

Sorry that the end of this video got cut off! My camera died close to the end. All that you missed was a little more contouring and blending, the lips, and lashes. I will have a step by step list of instructions posted on my blog at www.VanitysEdge.blogspot.com for your convenience!

I decided not to talk in this vid since that normally makes them last longer and this one was going to be long enough as it was! LOL! Hopefully, this will just give you an idea about how I did my wicked witch makeup for Halloween. If you would like a more indepth tutorial on how I did this, I will happily do it for you guys and break it down into parts to make it easier and shorter!

This makeup is easier than you really think. Anyone wanting to be an UGLY witch for Halloween, play, or production should try this tissue technique!

As always, thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed it!

This looks really cool! How'd you come up with this 'tissue technique?' And what impact does it make?

My mom came up with this when she played the wicked witch in a traveling company. They were always in close range to the audience so it really made a difference! I did scare a few people when I first put it on, but since I didn't maintain it, it started to peel after a while. You have to continue applying glue when it starts to let go or you will lose the effect. I would say, playing to an audience in a larger venue, you may as well skip it and just go green! :) Thanks!

Excellent and thorough job. As the Queen of Karaoke in Las Vegas, I have sewed and designed 159 costumes, & performed in 18 costumes alone for the month of Halloween. One costume was the wicked witch from Snow White with the hunched back & basket lined in hologram White material, with Big Red Apple that said "poison." I'm now doing Wizard of Oz, Wicked witch of the west and the ideas here were most helpful. Thanx.

Hi I love the look! My family is putting on an outdoor haunted house this upcoming weekend 10/23/10 and my mom is going to be a witch in the witches room. I can't find the details of the name of the products you used and the colors to make sure I get it right. Would you be so kind to list the products used? Thank you so much!

you didn't need a fake nose, your real nose was large enough
