Any ideas on how to look eerily spooky at a Halloween party?

QUESTION

Hi Petrica,

Happy Halloween! How are you doing? You know, every time I need information, you’re my first stop. I’m wondering how you deal with last-minute events. I just received a last-minute Halloween invitation. I’m a bit unsure what makeup to wear. All of this is so confusing. Perhaps I can choose from one of your costume suggestions. If you could provide makeup tips and suggestions, that would be awesome. I prefer scary makeups since it’s Halloween.

Thanks for all your help.

With love,

Josie!

Add blood for extra gore.
