Bugs are Biting

What you need.

  • assorted colors face paint
  • bobby-pins
  • assorted plastic bugs
  • temporary silver hair color spray
1. To make the bugs look three-dimensional, you'll want to paint them on in layers. Begin by mixing orange, blue and red face paint to create a beige shade that's just a little darker or lighter than your complexion. Use the mix to paint a shadow for each bug. The shadows should be a little bigger than the insects you plan to paint on top of them. For an extra-creepy effect, you can even add bug bite marks near a couple of the shadows.
2. Now use green, orange, red, blue and black face paint to paint the bugs on top of their shadows. A narrow margin of the beige undercoat should remain visible along the edges.
3. Top each bug with a dab of white face paint. This will make the bugs look like they have shiny shells.
4. For a finishing "cobweb" effect, you can spray your hair with temporary silver hair color and then bobby-pin on assorted plastic bugs. The hair spray and the bugs are available at novelty and party stores.
