Sadly I'm working this Halloween so I won't be able to wear this makeup out, but I filmed it anyway, as I haven't done a video in forever and I really miss it.

And here I'll explain how I made the different features; the horns, the chin and the ears.
I began with the ears; I bought some modelling clay, you can use Plasticine if you'd prefer, basically anything you can model ear tips out of.
- Start off by measuring the top of your ears so you can get the right sized ear tips.
- Then mold the clay into a triangle; making the top really pointed.
- After that I molded some more clay around the edges of the ears to give it more detail.
- On the one ear I cut out a small triangle near the tip to make it look like the ear had been cut partly.
- After the clay has dried apply the latex, make sure it's not too runny as it will be really tricky to work with. Use talcum powder on the clay so the latex doesn't get stuck after its dried. Apply a few coats of the liquid latex, and once dry peel it off. Use a hairdryer to help it set faster.
- The cut any spare latex off.
I did pretty much the same thing for the chin, but tried to mold it onto my own chin so that the latex would fit properly when I came to do the make-up. I created the details on the chin by using thin pieces of Plasticine. Then applied the latex.
The horns were made by using a cardboard tube, about an inch in height. I filled it with tin foil and then inserted a pipe cleaner to use as a skeleton for the rest of the horn. I then wrapped foil around the outside of cardboard, all the way up the piper cleaner. Repeat until the horn is thick enough. You can also shape and bend it to suit what style you want. I made paper mache to apply to the outside to make it easier to paint black.
