Creating a Halloween costume doesn’t have to break the bank, we have put together a step by step guide on how to create a child’s  Dracula  face painting. Dracula is a popular Halloween costume because he is synonymous with Halloween and you can quickly create the “Dracula” look. This costume is one of the easiest and face paint can be done in minutes!

Step 1.

Using the white face paint, paint the whole face white and try to avoid getting paint in the eyes by keeping them closed whilst covering, avoid the lips. To get a consistent coverage, you may need to apply twice.

Step 2. 

Adding the detail to Dracula is easy.  Draw a thick eyebrow definition to give him that scary look. Add pink face paint under the eyes and you can use the blood in the Poundland face paint kit to give Dracula that “just bitten” finish.

Step 3.

To finish Dracula he will need some Dracula teeth and a cape.
