Ghouls, zombies and princesses are just some of the characters that will leave the Estuary Arts Centre on Halloween, following a DIY Halloween Make-Up Workshop on Thursday October 31.
The centre will provide basic face paint, gelatines, latex and two experienced special effects artists to help trick-or-treaters look the part.
Participants are encouraged to bring along their own supplies, and an idea of what creepy or cute creature they would like to become.
For those who cannot make it to the workshop, Estuary Arts Centre manager and experienced special effects artist, Kim Boyd, has some tips.
“Keep it simple by using just a few colours that contrast and by focussing on just one or two big features, like your eyes and mouth,” Kim says.
“Also, think about the colours that will match the look you are going for. If you want to look like the living dead, use cold undertones like blues and greys with a dark contour.”
The workshop is for seven to 17 year olds, and will run from 3.30pm- 5pm. Bookings are essential as spaces are limited.
