For the youngest guests of the Halloween masquerade, it is recommended to use face painting, i.e. harmless hypoallergenic paints for skin. Believe me, the child will enjoy this drawing process, and the transformation into a kitten itself will bring a lot of pleasure.
Applying a drawing to the face is not a difficult task, so even those adults who cannot call themselves artists can cope with it. This body art is done in several steps:
The color and shape of the muzzle is a matter of taste. It can be plain, striped or spotted.
At the same time, you need to take into account that the shade and texture you choose matches the suit as a whole. For example, if you chose leopard print, then a tiger stripe suit will not be the best option.

There can be several options for a catwoman costume, and all of them will look impressive and bright at any carnival. The following dress models are considered the most popular:
1. Catwoman a la Michelle Pfeiffer. Those who saw Tim Burton's film masterpiece "Batman Returns" probably remember Catwoman's seductive latex costume. To recreate this look, you'll need a black, fitted jumpsuit in a glossy fabric with a long zip at the front.
You can replace it with tight black pants and a turtleneck. Don't forget to sew white stripes all over the suit. A mask, black gloves (preferably with fake nails glued on top) and long heeled boots will complete the outfit.
2. Heroine Halle Berry. The image of Catwoman from the film of the same name differs in a couple of details: instead of a jumpsuit, she wears black tight-fitting trousers (you can replace them with leggings), a black latex bra with wide straps and long gloves. You need to tie two black belts around your waist, and put a black half mask on your head, which can be sewn from leather or black glossy fabric. Complete this look with long heeled boots and a whip.
3. An Anne Hathaway-inspired cat look from Black Knight Rises. For this one, you'll also need a black catsuit (or leggings and a turtleneck), heeled boots, gloves, a black leather belt and a masquerade mask.
The distinctive feature of this image is cat ears, which can be made from two cardboard triangles, vinyl overlays and clips. A unique highlight will be a toy pistol, which will add brutality to the image.
Let's add that one of the popular options for a Halloween look is the hero of Carroll's book - the Cheshire Cat. The makeup of this image is distinguished by a peculiar “smile”.
If you don’t want to copy already famous movie characters, you can try to create your own version of this image. Don't be afraid to experiment with costumes, makeup and... accessories, which will be discussed later.
So, with accessories the matter is simple. They can be selected from the following list:
Manicure. If you're not wearing black gloves, you can simply paint your nails black. You short nails? No problem. Just stick on artificial tips. It is desirable that they are sharp and as long as possible.
The New Year's carnival, which recently became fashionable here, Halloween, and various costume parties are fun, colorful events, but they require a certain ability to transform. To do this, it is important not only to choose the appropriate outfit, but also to do the makeup correctly in order to fully match the chosen image.
For example, you need to prepare for All Saints' Day. It is clear that there will be plenty of all kinds of lady vamps, witches, vampires, and sorceresses there. But you want to do something unusual, original, that will make you stand out from the rest of the ladies’ society. If so, try cat makeup! A very profitable and correct idea. On the one hand, there should be some “devilishness” in the image, something frightening... slightly. On the other hand, a cat’s grace, elegance, and sophistication have long been proverbial. In a word, “there must be some kind of mystery in a woman...”. This charming mystery, exciting appeal will help you create cat makeup for Halloween.
So, you have decided on the appearance. It remains to clarify the details. And the first one is whether you will be wearing a mask or not. This determines how complete and deep the cat’s makeup should be. On Halloween, a mask is required only for the upper part of the face. And in this case, you will have to pay the main attention to the eyes and the line of the mouth. If the makeup is complete, with individual details being recreated, then eyebrows, nose, and cheeks should be made up.
Cat makeup - for Halloween or another holiday - is theatrical or professional. No, to create it on your face, you don’t have to turn to the services of makeup artists. You can handle it yourself. But high-quality, professional cosmetics are very desirable. Then the cat’s makeup on the face will last the amount of time you need, will not require adjustments, the makeup will not smudge, will not fall off, etc. To make the image more realistic, you can insert bright green contact lenses into the eyes. Be sure to, in addition to eyeliner, pencil, eye shadow, powder and lipstick, prepare a concealer and foundation.
By the way, it is even possible to give cat makeup to children of middle and older groups of kindergarten age. For children (not only girls, but also boys!) this image will be no less interesting than for adults. And schoolchildren will also really like it. Let's say more: for little ones, for teenagers, for young people (only here we are talking about girls), and even for mature, but good-looking women, a cute, playful, sexy cat - perfect solution for a costume event, whether it is a matinee in kindergarten, a carnival at school or a corporate party at work. However, if you are going to do cat makeup for a girl or boy, make sure that the cosmetics are hypoallergenic, because children's skin is especially delicate and sensitive.
And now specifically about cats. We prepare the face: it should be well cleaned. Apply any moisturizer, very light, and let it absorb. Then it’s time for the base makeup. Skin defects and pimples are masked with concealer. Now it’s time for toning products. Their color should be close to natural: light tan, old Ivory, milk chocolate. It is better not to apply blush. Or use 2 options: make the pinkness of the cheeks invisible or, conversely, decoratively bright. The last method of application is more suitable for small children or middle school age children.
It is advisable to disguise the eyebrows completely, so that later you can depict them like a cat, or simply correct them with a pencil and shadows so that they are more suitable for your future piquant face. Lengthen them along the bridge of the nose down towards the nose. Now the eyes. They are given maximum attention in this image. Indeed, in Ancient Egypt, where, in fact, such makeup was invented, the eyes of this pet were compared to two suns. And they are the ones who give your entire appearance a special expressiveness. So, with a pencil, draw a clear line from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner with a smooth rise to the temples. The ends of the arrows should resemble wings. We tint the top with matte black shadows, the “wings” themselves are slightly shaded with a dark gray color. The next line (higher than the previous one) is drawn with silver shadows or light gray. Now, with a clean applicator, you need to rub all three well, trying to make both eyelids look the same. Let's move on to the bottom edge. First, you need to draw the shape with a white pencil (or eyeliner, shadows). This can be done with a fairly thick line. And on top of it, more subtly and gracefully, we draw a cat’s cut in black. The final touch is applying mascara to the eyelashes.
The line of the nose is emphasized by lengthening the eyebrows - down, on both sides. The inner corner of the eyes also lengthens, going down. Next, you can use dark powder to accentuate the wings of the nose, making them more expressive and closer in shape to a cat. Color the tip of your nose from top to bottom with soft pink blush or dark shadows. Use a trapezoidal shape, more like animal noses.
Select the hollow between the upper lip and nose. Make your lips a “bow” by coloring them with cherry, raspberry, or coral lipstick. Let the contours be somewhat blurry. To do this, after painting your mouth, press a napkin to it. The excess lipstick will be removed, and the drawing line will lose its original clarity - which is what we need. Apply glitter on top. Or do it differently. Using a dark, but not black (dark gray, brown) pencil, outline the mouth, drawing the silhouette you need. Then fill it with dark shadows. And secure with glitter. Experiment to get the best effect.
Finally, there are little things left that should complete the image. Draw black or brown dots on the cheeks. And draw a few lines imitating a mustache. Do this with a pencil with a finely sharpened lead. Well, everything is ready! Make a hairstyle, and to enhance the effect of similarity, put a headband with ears on your hair. As you can see, after spending a little time, you will master the art of transformation, becoming a mysterious, unique, sexy cat temptress, a conqueror of men’s hearts!
Since the times of Ancient Egypt, the cat has been considered a model of elegance and grace. Cat makeup allows you to add the hypnotizing expressiveness of cat eyes to a woman's gaze. Its essence is to narrow and lengthen the eyes using eyeliner, pencil or shadows.

It is better for adult women to prefer the classic ones - black, brown and gray. Young girls can experiment with color. Choosing the color of eyeliner or makeup shadows is a rather individual matter; you must also take into account the overall tone of the face, the shape of the eyelids, the distance from the upper eyelids to the eyebrows and... well-being. But the basic principles still exist.
Girls with blue eyes It is worth paying attention to “warm” colors. Wonderful brown will do, bronze and black eyeliner. Shadows of peach and light brown shades will look interesting. Plum, gray or lilac shadows can match the eyes. But here you should be careful and take into account the saturation of the color of the iris: for light, gray-blue eyes, lighter shades are suitable than for bright blue eyes.
Beauties with brown eyes blue, peach or lilac eyeliner would be great. An option with a green or yellow tint would also be good. There are some nuances when choosing shadows: muted brown, blue, coral or peach tones will suit light brown eyes, while on rich brown eyes it will look quite pale - it’s worth choosing more dark shades these flowers.
For those with truly cat-like eyes, shades of “cool” colors are extremely suitable: purple, blue, pearl gray. Also, the iris is in harmony with peach, brown or golden colors. Eyeliner can be lilac, purple or brown. You should be more careful with green and dark gray tones, they can give the look a heavy expression of fatigue.
In the execution of this makeup, the most important and most difficult thing to achieve is straight arrows. But with a little preparation and proper practice, this skill can be quickly honed to automaticity.
With this make-up you can go to any occasion. But you shouldn’t apply to it also bright lipstick so that your face doesn't look like a mask. Attention should be focused specifically on the eyes.
A pencil is a fairly simple tool; even a person who is not experienced enough in applying makeup can handle it. It's best to use waterproof makeup to ensure your look doesn't smudge at the most important moment.
Cat eyes will be much more expressive with eyeliner, but drawing them requires some skill. There are several ways to draw arrows with eyeliner.
