How do you do mime makeup?
You can add or opt not to use white makeup – pancake makeup. This year she kept it simple and didn’t use the white makeup. Our favorite that we have used is this, white makeup. It’s a cream to powder foundation and Sammie used it one year when she was Wednesday Adams (which is another easy Halloween costume).
Sammie used a skinny liquid eyeliner or you can use a felt-tipped liquid liner to draw the black mime accents on the face.
You can add Fake eyelashes and or black mascara are also great for accentuating the eyes.
Use red lipstick or brick red lipstick or merlot, plum/red lipstick for the lips.

This year will probably be a lot different than last year as far as Halloween. It’s safe to say there can be fun ways to celebrate Halloween virtually (by having a zoom Halloween party). As well as just with your own families in your home.
One of the ways my daughters are celebrating Halloween with their kids is by making a Halloween candy hunt (similar to hunting for Easter candy). They are going to have the kids dress up and search for candy in their own homes and backyard.
Family Halloween Movies (Printable list of Halloween Movies)
They are also going to watch Halloween movies, with fun fall treats like popcorn and cupcakes, in addition to the candy the kids find.
Spooky Halloween songs and dancing…
How are you celebrating Halloween this year? Are you dressing up in a Halloween costume?
