Easy skeleton makeup takes a makeup artist about 20 minutes, half skeleton makeup takes about 40 minutes, a full-face skeleton takes 60 to 90 minutes and glam skeleton makeup takes 90 minutes or more. A first-timer at home should allow roughly half as long again for the easy look and a good deal more for anything bigger. Looking slightly dead is the whole goal of a skeleton costume, and it still takes longer than most people budget for.<\/span><\/p>\n

Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, which means every party and pub night wants the same few evening hours, so it pays to pick a look by the time you’ve got instead of the one that looks best in a gallery photo. Skin prep and nails belong in the days before the party, so a<\/span> pre-Halloween beauty timeline<\/span><\/a> keeps the evening free for the face paint.<\/span><\/p>\n
