Vampire Face Paint and Vampiress Makeup Ideas
Vampires are a hot trend this Halloween, and vampire face paint and makeup ideas are the perfect way to complete your Halloween costume. Now, if you're going to be a vampire, you have two ways to make this look work. There is the traditional vampire face paint look which is ideal for kids and for getting that classic Dracula look, and also for creating an eye-catching modern vampire. And there is the vampiress makeup which can be achieved without face paint at all, using regular store bought makeup.
Whichever one you choose, you'll find vampire makuep ideas here for both the dramatic vampire and the seductive vampiress styles. Happy Halloween!

Traditional Vampire / Count Dracula
Classic Dracula Face Paint
Simple Vampire Face Painting -- Ideal for Kids
OK, let's start with the classic vampire face paint look. This is perfect for kids who want a dramatic and fun face painting, or for adults who are not interested in being Twilight cast lookalikes and just want to have a traditional Halloween look. It also has the advantage of being quite an easy face painting for Halloween since you only need 2 colors of face paint... and it doesn't get any simpler than that!
This speed face painting video is by Nekol2689 and is fun to watch.
Step by Step Face Painting Instructions for Classic Vampire
How to Paint a Traditional Vampire Face on a Kid or Yourself
Step 1:
With a face painting sponge, dab white face paint over your entire face including lips and eye area.
Step 2:
Sponge on black face paint in eye sockets, darker over eyelids and smudged around edges.
Step 3:
Smudge black face paint on either side of face from below cheekbone down to jaw. Lightly pat more black face paint over lips to turn them gray.
Step 4:
Enlarge eye sockets with light application of black face paint around edges.
Step 5:
Using black face paint on a brush, paint eyebrows using thick wiggly line from own inner eyebrow up to forehead.
Step 6:
Using white face paint on a brush, paint on two pointed fangs at corners of lower lip.
Step 7:
Using red paint on a brush, underline the eyes and outline fangs. Add a few spots of dripping blood from the fangs!
Step 8:
Highlight eyebrows with white face paint on brush.
Your Vampire face paint is complete. Go scare the neighborhood!

Vampire Face Paint for Making an Impression
This is the kind of vampire face paint you need for after-dark or low-lighting parties, where more subtle vampire makeup could be mistaken for a normal clubbing look! Again, it has the advantage of using simple face painting techniques and just 3 colors.
This video by Ellie1811 is another speed painting so just pause and catch up if painting your face along with her.
Step by Step Face Painting Instructions for Dramatic Vampire
How to Paint this Striking Vampire Face
Use sponge to apply white face paint to face, avoiding lips.
Step 2:
Use a black eyeliner to thickly outline the upper and lower eyelids.
Step 3:
Using Snazaroo Sparkle Red face paint, dab on beneath eyes and extend out beneath temples. Now apply the Sparkle Red to area above eye and out towards ear to create the red stripe over the eyes.
Step 4:
Use black paint on a fine brush to extend the eyeline at each corner
Step 5:
Outline lips with black face paint on a fine brush. Paint lips with sparkle red.
Step 6:
Paint on eyebrows with brush and black face paint.
Finished! This Vampire face paint gives a dramatic and beautiful stylized look that's a little bit different.
Snazaroo Face Paint

Ellie uses Snazaroo white, black and sparkle red face paint to create the dramatic vampire look above. Snazaroo are one of the most popular brands of face paint and are safe for all the family. They wash off with soap and water.

Halloween Makeup for Vampire Girls
Here's the seductive vampiress makeup for all the girls and women out there who love the sultry and alluring vampire look.
As you will imagine, there are are a lot of these vampire makeup videos for women. I've done the hard work of watching them and have chosen 5 of the best vampiress makeup vids here.
All of them are excellent and give a similar look with some differences in the details. The first one is by Michelle Phan who has some awesome makeup video tutorials. She includes clear instructions too.
The second look, by MissChievous is also very clearly explained and does not use contact lenses but has some dramatic eye makeup. She's another of my favorite video makeup artists and has some wonderful Halloween face painting ideas on her channel.
The others I've added for variety. The 3rd video has stunning Vampiress makeup but is only available right now in Italian. Use it for inspiration if you don't speak the language.
The 4th video is a speed face painting and a good alternative if you want dramatic dark vampire eyes, not red.
The final video, Bride of Dracula, is at normal speed with each step shown in written prompts. It's a beautiful deathly look that would also work (minus fangs!) for a Morticia Addams Halloween costume

What is a Vampire's Favorite Dance?
Answer: The Tango, of course!
Passionate, moody, violent, intense... no other dance is quite like the Tango. It's the dance that Gomez and Morticia Addams love, and is perfectly suited to a vampire's temperament.
Classic Tango colors are red and black, just like the vampire's. Purple also works well. If love is death, and death is love, the Tango is the dance to unite the lovers in their eternal struggle.
You've got your Vampire Face on...
