Around carnival time, the excitement and anticipation become palpable. People rush to find a costume and work out how to create make-up that feels striking, playful and memorable.
A selection of carnival make-up ideas
Carnival make-up is not meant to be discreet; it is large, bright, bold and eye-catching. It is less about enhancing your everyday features and more about creating a spectacle. Here are ideas ranging from popular animal themes to mysterious, romantic or theatrical looks. False eyelashes, glitter and gems can create a truly dramatic result. There are no hard rules, but choosing colors that work together usually makes the look easier to compose. You can exaggerate or soften these ideas depending on your personality and costume.
Carnival make-up – there are no limits
Useful elements for carnival make-up include heavy kohl eyeliner, false lashes and dark lipstick. Apply powder over foundation to help set the look. For children, imagination can lead the way: butterflies, cats, pirates, princesses and bunnies are only a few of the many options. Rhinestones or glitter can be used as accents across the face, and the eyes, nose and fangs of a big cat such as a lion are easy to paint. Make-up for carnival can be fun!
