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 get and use a felt-tipped liquid liner to draw the black mime accents on the face.
- You can add Fake eyelashes or black mascara which is also great for accentuating the eyes.
- Use red lipstick, brick red lipstick, merlot, plum/red lipstick for the lips.

One of the ways my daughter (with kids) enjoys celebrating Halloween with their kids is by making a Halloween candy hunt (similar to hunting for Easter candy). They have the kids dress up and search for candy in their own homes and backyard.
During the Halloween season, we love to watch Halloween movies (get the list of Halloween movies to watch). And serve fun fall treats like popcorn and cupcakes, in addition to the candy the kids find.
Spooky Halloween songs and dancing…
