Are you experimenting with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/10\/4-updated-classic-halloween-looks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">old classic<\/a> looks, or trying out new costume ideas? Just once each year, you can be whoever and whatever you want\u2026 so make the most of it!<\/h4>\n<h4>That being said, creativity is also key. Be creative with your tried-and-true makeup techniques <em>and<\/em> do something people have never seen before. In order to truly know what\u2019s pushing creative boundaries, though, you need to be aware of the unoriginal, trite techniques. Otherwise, you might come off as more hokey than horror!<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;20&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Read on for four special effects makeup clich\u00e9s!<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;Full Width Line&#8221; line_thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; divider_color=&#8221;accent-color&#8221; animate=&#8221;yes&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;75&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Fishnet Scales<\/h3>\nMany novice MUAs have and will definitely try this. When done right, it can be quite stunning. But if we\u2019re being honest, it\u2019s most often used as a crutch rather than as an enhancement! Every undersea or reptilian look incorporates this effect. Its widespread use is, in part, due to how easy it is to achieve.\n\nYou would simply take an old pair of fishnet stockings, put it taut over the application area, and cover the negative space with traditional or airbrush makeup. If the net is held down correctly, there shouldn\u2019t be any bleeding.\n\nThe reason why this technique is so clich\u00e9 is because some artists put minimal effort into the look after this. They use a single color over the fishnet and then leave it at that. Where\u2019s the blending? Where\u2019s the dimension?\n\nTake a page from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/portfolio\/queenella-gibson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">QC Makeup Academy graduate Queenella Gibson\u2019s<\/a> playbook. She used irregular geometric shapes for her scales and added multiple colors and plenty of glitter for a show-stopping look![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;32597&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>Fake Blood<\/h3>\nHey, we love us some fake blood. Nothing quite conveys the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/10\/halloween-makeup-contest-winner-gore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">horror aspect of Halloween<\/a> better than a large gash with blood gushing out of it. But to achieve this illusion, you\u2019ll need more than a single tube of bright red blood from the Halloween store.\n\nWe\u2019ve all seen this before. Whether it\u2019s the two droplets of fake blood trailing from the corners of a Vampire\u2019s mouth or the red food-coloring-smeared-clothes, they might as well have not even bothered. Real blood is dark, moody, and has plenty of dimension. When there are darker areas in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2014\/10\/special-effects-makeup-sneak-peek-scratch-lesson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the wound<\/a> and in the blood itself, it looks a thousand times more realistic.\n\nSo if you\u2019re participating in your town\u2019s zombie walk this year, don\u2019t ruin the whole look over some spilled blood! Gel blood is viscous and generally darker. It\u2019ll look like older, deoxygenated blood that makes sense with your costume. You can thank us later.\n<h3>Unblended Makeup<\/h3>\nOn Instagram, you\u2019ll see many special FX looks where the contouring is so sharp it could kill. It probably looks fantastic on camera, but the unblended makeup won\u2019t look as good in real life. The thing is, makeup in real life looks much different than makeup in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/05\/beginners-guide-makeup-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">professional photos<\/a>. When you\u2019re walking around on Halloween day, you won\u2019t have the high-contrast background, light reflector, or live photo editing.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;32599&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; animation=&#8221;Fade In&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]The images you see online are highly edited and curated. A lot of the highlights, shadows, and saturation you see isn\u2019t from the hand and brush. So when you\u2019re trying to recreate it, don\u2019t just compare your look to the photo. Pay attention to how it actually looks in real life! Make adjustments when you go along, and ensure your makeup looks good in 3D!\n<h3>Bad Prosthetics<\/h3>\nAs you gain more interest in the special effects makeup world, you\u2019ll start experimenting with the big guns. Let\u2019s get one thing straight\u2014we aren\u2019t dissing these industry-standard materials! Prosthetics are found everywhere from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bustle.com\/p\/what-is-ahuman-heres-why-kim-kardashian-chrissy-teigen-suddenly-look-like-aliens-10253213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fashion world<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2016\/10\/tbt-classic-horror-movies-killed-sfx-makeup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the cinema<\/a>! But chances are, you won\u2019t have the 8+ hours to prepare and apply special FX makeup for Halloween night.\n\nIf it\u2019s your first time using prosthetics, don\u2019t just stick some wax on your face and call it a day. Special FX benefits from multiple layers. You need grease paints, liquid latex, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2018\/06\/special-effects-makeup-hacks-that-wont-break-the-bank\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">even everyday materials<\/a> to add dimension and interest. Pay attention to the details and practice. And for the love of God, glue your prosthetics down properly!\n<h4>Any other awful clich\u00e9s we missed?
