How to Create a reptilian lizard makeup look for Halloween

Creative reptilian makeup design on a person’s face.

When you were small, dressing up like a lizard for Halloween probably meant an oversized, cheap costume with a long cloth tail and a green headpiece. While such costumes are cute for little ones, if you want to truly creep some people out this Halloween (all while inspiring "Wow! How did you do that?"comments all night long) then check out this reptile makeup look.

Modeled after a lizard, it features scales on the forehead, sunken eyes, and a contoured green face. Reptile contacts complete the look.

Using a bald cap to cover your hair and ears would REALLY make this look 500 times cooler. Also adding horns and/or fangs could kick it up a few notches too.
