Steps

Donning the Outfit

Put the black shirt and loose black pants on. If you are expecting cold weather it may be prudent to wear a form fitting undershirt beneath the costume as additional insulation.

Put a black Gi on. Individual Gi may vary depending on the martial arts tradition. This particular Gi is fastened using two strings.

Applying the Makeup

Thoroughly wash hands and face. Do this before beginning make up process, using soap and warm water.

Put on a protective plastic cover over your clothes. An emergency rain poncho is ideal. Make sure to tuck the protective covering under your collar for through protection.

Apply the temporary hair color spray. Use short controlled bursts about 8 inches (20.3 cm) from your head. Avoid eye contact. Prolonged bursts may cause the spray to run down your face and onto your clothes.

Apply white face paint.Using a sponge spread the makeup evenly over the face avoiding only the eyes. Make sure you get behind your ears.

Apply the black face paint around the eyes. Use the artist brush to carefully apply the makeup to the area around your eyes. Use your imagination as to what shape you’d like your sunken eyes to take.

Apply creative details. Use the contrast provided by the red and black face paints over the white base to create noticeable and fun details. Using your windpipe, lower lip and chin as guides, you can trace black lines on your lower face.Dress As an Evil Wizard for Halloween Step 8Bullet1.jpg You might choose to make your lips blood red and to create blood trails running from your mouth and eyes.Dress As an Evil Wizard for Halloween Step 8Bullet2.jpg You can also add a bloody ankh to your forehead. (The ankh is meant as a kind of symbolic irony. It is an Egyptian symbol of life and the fact that it is written in blood on an evil wizard’s face adds to the creepiness of the costume.)Dress As an Evil Wizard for Halloween Step 8Bullet3.jpg
