The delightfully spooky DIY looks take ten minutes or less and will have your little monster ready to strut their stuff in Halloween parades all over town!

Step 1: Apply yellow face paint with sponge around the nose, upper lip and in two streaks out from the inner brow.
Step 2: Apply red with a round brush above and below the eyes and on the outer cheeks and chin.
Step 3: Using the flattened tip of the round brush, add white in small outward strokes to the brow and the outside of the yellow streaks. Then, with yellow, make scales using the same technique around the cheeks and on the upper lip.
