Bypass the prepacked Halloween makeup in the store, and head for the supermarket instead. With just a few ingredients, you can make your own batch of ghoulish cream to smear on your goblins' faces. Writer Amanda Formaro has the recipe.
Make it yourself
Dressing up for Halloween is so much fun! Enjoy it even more knowing that you and your little goblins prepared their faces for the frightful night. Face paint is inexpensive when you make it yourself, and it's safer than a mask that can obscure vision. Try these ghoulish recipes yourself!
