Purim is already right around the corner, and if you haven't started thinking about costumes, now is exactly the time.

Although Purim is automatically associated with children and colorful costumes, it is the time for the adults to go wild with a variety of costumes and amazing makeup.

• Let's see: the best discounts for Purim shows

• Dressing up cheaply: this is how you can save on ordering costumes for Purim from abroad

• When Adar Marvin enters in payments: an increase in the prices of the ears of manna

The problem starts with costs.

A complete costume for an adult can reach hundreds of shekels, and if you don't have an idea for a DIY costume that you can make at home, you will have to part with a good amount.

We are here to remind you of another option - a costume based on makeup and clothes that everyone has in their closet.

We contacted Irin Shaaf, makeup artist and director of the school of beauty professions, and asked for the tips that will help you create the most successful makeup.

face paint

These are watercolors intended for body paintings, but they are a wonderful tool for formal make-up.

With their help, you can easily and efficiently create colorful face paintings and paint large areas.

The outstanding advantage of water colors is the easy and convenient use with brushes.

Mix them similarly to watercolors intended for traditional painting, and reach an infinite spectrum of shades.

Neon colors you should know

Colorful make-up in phosphorescent shades against the background of an ultraviolet lamp, can turn any standard event into a stormy party.

These are body paints in neon shades that shine in the dark.

They are used with brushes and a little water for dilution.

With their help you can draw freely, just like painting on a canvas.

If you don't have drawing talent, you can always use purchased stencils, or ones you make at home using sticker paper.

After deciding on the illustration, attach the stencil to the skin and apply the makeup with a small sponge or a thick brush.

All that remains is to wait for the peak moment of the evening, turn off the normal lighting, and in its place turn on an ultraviolet lamp.

The result will get everyone's attention.

Sparkling gems

Crystal-like gems or tiny plastic zircons, come in a huge variety of shapes, colors and sizes.

You can get them at makeup or craft stores, and they will upgrade any formal look to a spectacular exit.

We will stick the stones to the body either using the built-in glue that comes with them in the case of dedicated stones, or with body or eyelash glue.

Upgrade the tattoo

Glittering powders in a variety of colors can make any routine tattoo extra spectacular.

Stick them using body glue, on or to the sides of the tattoo.

Also, a light and random scattering of glittering powder on the clothes or on the body gives a particularly festive and formal effect.

styling

When it comes to Purim, the sky is the limit when it comes to accessories and extras, with which you can make the look colorful and entertaining.

In stores that offer craft supplies and thrift stores, you can get feathers, ribbons, buttons, ribbons, threads, ropes, patches, beads and endless other materials that can be combined on clothes that you love, will upgrade your whole look.

special adhesives

In order for the make-up to survive a stormy party, it is recommended to stock up in advance with a dedicated glue.

The types of adhesives available:

• Eyelash glue - available in transparent or black, suitable for artificial eyelashes.

• Transparent body glue - suitable for gluing gems, feathers and light accessories.

• Mustache glue - suitable for gluing hair extensions, beards and more

Using the right glue will ensure a professional, durable and correct result, which will not harm the skin of the face or body.

To remove the adhesives, use makeup remover and damp cloths.

Adhesives can be bought at professional makeup stores.

removing make-up

Formal make-up often contains more layers than everyday make-up, so it is more difficult to remove it without causing redness and sensitivity, especially in those with sensitive skin and in children.

At the end of the Purim party, you must remove your makeup thoroughly, and you must not go to bed with leftover makeup.

Make-up remover wipes should be used to remove the first layer of make-up.

Then use a make-up remover and wash your face with lukewarm water.

To finish, you should apply a rich moisturizing cream with nourishing ingredients.
