Nurse makeup for Halloween: trying on different looks (+ photos)

The night before All Saints' Day is special. Our ancestors believed that at this time a passage to the world of the dead opened. Well, modern people have turned the ancient pagan holiday into a fun carnival, during which you can try on the most unusual images.

A fairly popular option is the image of a nurse. It is good because, firstly, it is relatively easy to make a costume for it, and, secondly, because of its diversity.

If you wish, you can dress up as a sexy beauty, or you can try on the image of a dead zombie nurse from a horror movie. Let's take a look at what Halloween nurse makeup you can do to steal the show at the party.

Sexy nurse image

Pretty girls are not always eager to disfigure themselves with makeup, even in honor of the carnival. They should try on the image of a sexy nurse. To do this, you need to choose a short, tight-fitting robe, stockings and high-heeled shoes.

And the sexy image of a nurse for Halloween will be complemented by bright makeup with an emphasis on the eyes and lips. This makeup option is easiest to create with your own hands, since, in essence, it is ordinary evening makeup, maybe just a little brighter and bolder.

Execution order:

• cleanse the skin with tonic, apply a moisturizer or a special base;

• if there are defects on the skin, we use concealers; redness is well masked by greenish-toned concealers; if there are dark circles under the eyes, you should use a yellow-toned product;

• Next you need to apply foundation and fix the tone by powdering the skin.

• put blush on the cheekbones;

• Next, you need to highlight your eyes more clearly, using shadows and liquid eyeliner (pencil). A lighter tone should be placed on the upper eyelid, a darker tone should be placed along the lash line and in the crease of the eyelid. You need to draw arrows with eyeliner; they can be made slightly wider and longer than usual;

• then you need to apply thick eyelashes, or even better, use false eyelashes;

• lips need to be made bright, their color should match the color of the red crosses on the robe and cap;

• You can glue a fly above the lip to make the look even more striking.

A classic seductive version of the paramedic's attire

The image of a seductive nurse is suitable for girls who do not like scary stories. To implement it you will need a short medical gown or a simple white dress, light-colored shoes, stockings, a hair band or material for creating a cap and red ribbons. Don't rush to steal a basic item of clothing from your local clinic. A nurse's Halloween costume can be made from a robe, which can be easily purchased at any clothing store. Choose the minimum size to ensure this uniform fits your figure, or be prepared to sew up a standard product. The hem and sleeves can also be shortened at will. The costume will be more interesting if you sew a red cross from ribbons or strips of fabric onto the pockets or belt of the robe. Take the time to decorate your hair bandage with the same symbol or make a matching hat.

Image of a bloody nurse

In most cases, girls prefer scarier looks for their Halloween party. Photos of different costumes and makeup options will help you get ideas for creating your own look.

Making complex makeup at home is not so easy, but it’s worth practicing to get a truly terrifying and original look. To do this, you may need not only ordinary cosmetics, but also special means: face painting, artificial blood, imitation wounds. Nowadays it’s easy to buy all this in specialized departments, or order it in online stores. As a last resort, you can get by with home remedies, but the result will be worse.

To make the bloody nurse really scary, you will need to do the following:

• we prepare the skin and apply a tone, you can take a natural shade or a lighter one;

• apply brown or purple shadows to the upper eyelids;

• draw a wide arrow on the upper eyelids with a pencil, pulling it up, apply black shadows on top with a brush, and use them to darken the inner crease and outer corner of the eye;

• draw the lower eyelid along the eyelash line with a red pencil, the eyes immediately take on an inflamed, unhealthy appearance;

• we paint eyelashes or use artificial ones, gluing them on the upper eyelid;

• Using a black pencil, outline the contour of the lips with a wide line, and apply transparent gloss on top. Place a little bright lipstick – red or burgundy – in the center of the upper and lower lips;

• Using a blood substitute or red liquid lipstick, we draw lines on the face that imitate cuts. You need to apply a lot of lipstick so that it flows, forming picturesque smudges;

• To enhance the effect, you can carefully stick staples from a stapler over the “cuts”, of course, having previously folded the edges so that they do not prick. It is convenient to glue with BF medical glue.

To make our crazy nurse even more impressive, you can use artificial wounds that are glued to the face or neck.

To create bloody wounds, it is convenient to use theatrical wax; it is a viscous substance that adheres well to the skin, but at the same time does not stick to the fingers, allowing the formation of various skin defects.

For example, you can do this:

• apply some wax to your forehead;

• simulate a wound using your fingers and improvised means (for example, toothpicks);

• You can attach a plastic imitation razor blade or a plastic syringe to the wound. Theater wax holds light objects well;

• let the wax dry and then paint it with red paint;

• Pink and purple shadows should be applied around the “wound”, simulating inflamed skin covered with bruises.

Vampire

You should look predatory, sexy and a little naive. Pair this Halloween look with a nurse costume and rip the collar and cuffs a bit, making small streaks of “blood” on the collar.

• Let's start with the tone of the face. It is better if you take a foundation that is 1-2 shades lighter than your skin. After applying the tone, don’t forget to mask the imperfections with concealer and set with powder that matches your foundation. A vampire must be without flaws!
• Let's take care of the eyes. A light smokey eye with a cat eyeliner and false eyelashes will look impressive. Such eyes will add playfulness and magnetism to your look.
• Brows. They should be graphic and have a clear curve. There shouldn't be any wide, natural eyebrows like Kara Delvin's. Use a brow pencil or powder that is a shade darker than you are used to using.
• Contour and blush. The face should be angular and without smooth lines. You are the living dead from the underworld! For contouring, it is best to use dry textures in grayish shades. There should be no yellowness on the face. For greater effect, you can use dark gray-brown shadows and apply them to the cheekbones, blending them a little. It is better to leave the face without blush, or use a dark plum blush shade, lightly touching the cheeks.
• Lips. Use dark lipsticks the color of venous blood or rotten cherry. Clearly outline your lips using a contour pencil and only then lipstick. Afterwards, lightly shade the corners of your lips, they should be a little smeared, because you just had dinner!
• Now let's move on to the final part. You can buy artificial blood in an online store or just take paint and add a little water to it. Using a concealer brush, scoop some “blood” onto the brush and apply it to your lips so that the color drips. Done, now you are a true vampire nurse!

Zombie nurse image

To create a spectacular zombie nurse makeup for Halloween, you will also need special tools. It is best to cover the skin with face painting or theatrical makeup. You should not use pure white paint, but mix green or blue tones to get a deathly shade.

Before applying makeup, the skin must be covered with a base or at least a regular cream with a moisturizing effect. Then apply makeup with a brush or sponge and powder the skin. If you don’t have makeup, you can use a light-colored foundation; in this case, you can add a little blue powder eyeshadow to the powder to achieve the desired effect.

In this version of makeup, it is better not to highlight the eyebrows, but, on the contrary, to paint them over with makeup. Using shades of gray and purple, we outline the eyes. On the upper eyelids we shade the shadows to the eyebrow line, and below we draw an imitation of dark circles. This makeup will give the impression of sunken eyes. Special care is not required when applying shadows; a little carelessness will even do you good.

You can insert colored lenses into your eyes - red or white. You can put on different lenses, the view will be even worse. Eyelashes should not be dyed.

Now you need to do your lip makeup. There are two options here: either apply dark lipstick - black, purple, or, conversely, cover it with a tone so that the lips do not stand out on the face.

The image will be complemented by bloody wounds on the face, which can be glued to the cheek, forehead or neck. Skin hanging in patches looks impressive. For its manufacture, liquid latex should be used. You need to take a glass or mirror and powder its surface well. Place the glass on a flat surface and pour latex on top, leveling it with a brush. Allow the product to harden.

Remove the latex (thanks to the powder, this will be easy to do) and paint it flesh-colored, using the same makeup or foundation that was used to create the makeup. All that remains is to glue the resulting flaps of “skin” in the right places using BF glue. Instead of latex, you can use a solution of gelatin with the addition of glycerin; it is applied to the glass and allowed to harden. Then they act in the same way as when using latex.

If you approach the creation of makeup with imagination, you can create a unique and memorable image.

Makeup "Corpse Bride" (based on the famous cartoon)

There are many options for embodying the image of a bride on Halloween. But the most favorite is the image of Emily from the cartoon of the same name.

To create makeup in the “corpse bride” style and the image as a whole, you need to create the following attributes:

• Creates pale skin with a bluish tint.
• Giving the eyes a round shape.
• Artificial wound on the cheek.
• Bruises made with purple eye shadow.
• Very thinly drawn eyebrows.
• A wedding dress (preferably an old-fashioned style) and veil, which should be stained and torn.

To create the “corpse bride” look, not only the right makeup is important, but also the outfit!

• A turquoise wig (this item is optional, your hair color will look even more original).

DIY nurse costume for Halloween

Halloween is a special day.
According to ancient legend, on this day evil forces rule the earth, walking freely across the surface of the earth. Therefore, in order for them not to harm mortals, people must wear carnival costumes that depict representatives of evil spirits. But over time, the mystical celebration transformed into a cheerful holiday. And people dress up not only as scary monsters, but also in any interesting form. One of the most widely used images is the nurse's outfit. It can be made in a traditional direction, represent a crazy medic, be a sexy medic or a scary zombie. After reviewing the conditions for creating each of them (examples in the photo), you can choose the one you like best.

You can close the gates of the monastery, but you cannot close your soul

Sister Josepha decided to choose the monastic life during the underground period; today she lives in the monastery of the Basilian Sisters, and is also the director of the Catholic School of St. Basil the Great, located in the monastery.

What prompted you to become a nun? An example for me was a neighbor girl who was a nun, I constantly watched her and saw how happy she was, so I decided to take this step. My mother knew about my choice, but my father found out only five years later.

Over such a long period, have you never once doubted your choice? We are ordinary people, and we also have earthly desires, they always come, because everything outside the wall looks better. In fact, monastic life is not a complete paradise, as others believe, but hard work. We walk the same paths, and often, especially during life’s difficulties, different memories begin to emerge in our memory. Man is actually weak, and only with God's help can he resist his evil inclinations. In family life, when spouses live together for a long time, over time they begin to look for shortcomings in each other, in monastic life the opposite is true: the longer you live in a monastery, the more deeply you begin to understand the boundless love of God.

What about banal women's desires: to be loved, to get married, to have children... Do nuns really never fall in love? You know, you can close the gates of the monastery, but you cannot close your soul. Different stories happen, but the most important thing is not desire, but what you do with them... Although we cannot be biological mothers, we must cherish spiritual motherhood within ourselves and give birth to souls for the heavenly Kingdom.

“Quite a lot of sisters study in the West, acquire a doctorate, some find decent work or even love there. Through the prism of everyday life, they become materialists, that spiritual training dissipates somewhere, and different opinions appear. They say that God rarely blesses such women with love or family happiness; they live with terrible condemnation in their hearts,” says one of the sisters, who has been a nun for more than 25 years. — There were different cases. I remember a girl who came to the monastery against the wishes of her mother, after which she wore a black headscarf for a year, demonstrating mourning for her daughter. The girl was really promising and pure, she studied in Canada, Greece, Rome. Over time, her mother came to terms with this, and after 13 years she left the monastery walls.”

Killer DIY Nurse Costume for Halloween

Anastasia Skorekova Halloween 05/12/2018

Have a terribly wonderful time of day, dear friends! Do you like to dress up and attract attention? Consider trying out your own nurse costume for Halloween! This outfit will make you the queen of the evening, arouse great interest among others and give you a lot of bright emotions! All that remains is to choose the nurse costume option and go ahead with the preparations.

I have collected several instructions for creating vivid images of a nurse in three popular interpretations: a sexy flirt, a bloodthirsty killer nurse and a zombie sister. Each of the Halloween looks that are appropriate for girls can be made with your own hands.

Maniac

Repeat the same steps with the costume as in the vampire version. The only thing that needs to be changed is to make more blood on the arms and stomach.

1. Repeat the same makeup as with the vampire. Eyebrows can be your usual shape and color. Lip color at your discretion.
2. Blood. More blood, because it's Halloween, and you're still a maniac nurse who likes to kill people ! Blood should be everywhere: small splashes on the face, large ones on the suit. Hands up to the elbows in blood. For a better look, find yourself a murder subject. It could be a knife, a cleaver, an ax, anything. The main thing is to get it covered in blood too. This will create the effect that you are about to deal with someone.

Classic Nurse Halloween Costume Basics

Start by preparing the traditional costume base. Buy a real white nurse's coat from a specialty store.

Pay attention to the length and silhouette. No matter how creepy the costume turns out, it is desirable that it emphasizes the dignity of the figure. Let it be a fitted mini or medium length robe.

No opportunity or desire to buy? Sew the robe yourself. Choose suitable fabrics. It can be plain white cotton, or seductive white satin or silk. A red satin ribbon is another important attribute for a nurse costume. You will need to cut out a beautiful bright cross from it for a hat, travel bag or robe, so think about the cut in advance too.

It will be really great if you can find real medical tools. It can be:

• surgeon's scalpel;
• stethoscope;
• the largest syringe possible;
• thermometer in the breast pocket of the robe.

However, all this paraphernalia can easily be replaced with a bloody knife, screwdriver or ordinary scissors.

Now to the point. Depending on what kind of nurse you decide to become for the holiday, start “adjusting” the base to the image. The tips below will come in handy!

The nurse is an attractive coquette: costume attributes

For a girl who is used to being beautiful, well-groomed and seductive, disfiguring herself with streaks of blood and, albeit artificial, scars, even for the sake of a holiday, may be unacceptable. If this sounds like you, choose an attractive nurse costume and keep the Halloween idea in your repertoire.

To dress up as a seductive beauty you will need the medical gown already described above. It is very important that it is as short and tight as possible. Unfasten the top buttons, deepen the cut, and starch the collar.

Then everything is as simple as shelling pears. Cover your legs with thin white stockings, either nylon or mesh. Don't forget about cute lace suspenders - they should be visible under a short robe.

A mandatory attribute is high-heeled shoes and a nurse's cap with a bright cross.

Consider makeup to match your look. Bright lips, expressive eyes, playful curls - all this will complement the outfit, as well as a branded bag with mysterious potions and tools to lull male vigilance and resistance. Feel free to go to the party like this! You can be sure that the image will attract a lot of attention and will not raise any doubts in anyone’s mind about your preparedness for the holiday.

Bloody image of a crazy nurse

If horror films are among your favorite movies to watch on quiet evenings, feel free to dress up as a bloody nurse for Halloween. Creating such an image is interesting and fun, because in the end you end up transforming into a creepy madwoman, who is scary to look at even for those who are tempted by such spectacles, annually attending themed parties in the Gothic style.

So, the image of a crazy nurse is also built on a white robe, stockings and a cute hat with a cross. Unlike the previous outfit, this costume should, with its entire appearance, indicate an anomalous person capable of terrible things.

1. Start by preparing fake blood. Mix corn syrup and dye and splatter the red goo all over your outfit for the most natural look possible.
2. Tear the stockings in some places, move the cap to one side, and open the neckline as much as possible.
3. To complete the look, consider makeup. If possible, use theatrical makeup. The face should turn deathly white with traces of blood in the most unexpected places. Draw bruises under the eyes, widen the nostrils, and make the eyes wild with white or red lenses.

Pay special attention to your hairstyle. Hair should be disheveled, dirty, sticky with blood and mucus of unknown origin. The crazy nurse must have a “murder weapon” in her hand: a knife, scissors or a scalpel covered in blood. It’s a lot of fun to scare friends and random passers-by in this image, the main thing is not to get carried away, observing the limits of decency. Not everyone is ready to see a hint of great dark humor in a creepy outfit. Some people might get really scared!

Zombie nurse: how to make a costume with your own hands

The image of a zombie nurse, although not new, has not lost its relevance for many years. Its essence is simple: it is implied that the nurse did not die a natural death, lay underground for some time, and on the eve of the holiday decided to get out and show herself to the world.

What kind of sister will you turn out to be? It all depends on your imagination. Still, this is a girl in a white short robe, a medical cap and stockings... But! She may have an ax stuck in her back with streaks of blood all the way to her toes, however, the ax can also find a place in her head or even her stomach. The scarier the better!

Think about the clothes themselves. Zombies don't have clean, ironed clothes. Therefore, you will have to forget about a neat, starched, seductive robe. Stain it with tinted colored solutions, tear it in places, do the same with the stockings: arrows and holes should appear on them, under which wounds, abrasions, bruises and even “half-decayed” particles of the “dead” body will be clearly visible.

Pay special attention to makeup and hairstyle. The zombie nurse's face should be an unpleasant sallow color with bruises, streaks and scars. The more natural the scars look, the better.

The mouth is a black hole instead of a mouth with huge bloody teeth. It's not difficult to do at all.

1. In the area of ​​the oral triangle, stick cotton wool along the contour. Paint it red.
2. Paint the inside of the mouth and skin black.
3. Glue teeth onto red cotton wool (cut from scrap materials).
4. Apply paint the color of rot to the “teeth”, a little black plaque and finish with bloody stains.

The gaping black hole with bloody fangs on the zombie nurse's face is ready. All that remains is to hide it behind the same bloody bandage, surprising those you meet with an unexpected “surprise”!

Zombie eyes will look as creepy as possible with white or red lenses that are fashionable today. It is better to paint your eyebrows and eyelashes white. Hair will be the finishing detail of a carefully thought-out look. They should be disheveled, matted and dirty. To make it even more convincing, entangle a worm, a spider, a fake mouse or a dead bird in them.

Don't forget your gait. Zombies have poor body control, so move uncoordinated, sadly wandering your eyes over the people you meet. Walk with a slight drag on your feet, rag doll arms and a distinctive zombie-style howl.

Now you know how to look unique and intimidating enough to win a prize for best dressed in a classic Halloween nurse costume! Share ideas with your friends and don't forget to subscribe. See you again!

Monastic rules forced me to leave the monastic house

Maria does not like to talk about her past, because every time she remembers her previous dream with pain in her heart... Going to a monastery was a well-thought-out step, which later brought only disappointment to the girl. Now, she is already an adult woman who occupies a fairly influential position, she has not renounced her desire to serve the Lord, but she has forever refused to cross the threshold of the monastery house in which she lived for two years.

Why did you, having taken such a step, still leave the monastery walls? The day when I decided to go to the monastery, I remember it like today: it was sunny and warm, I was sitting on a bench in the park with my mother, and why I was sobbing uncontrollably. My mother asked me in surprise: “Why are you crying, I’m not forcing you to go to the monastery...”. Of course, it was not forced, because I firmly knew that I had to be there. I came to the monastic house, and I was really joyfully received, after a while I became a novitiate, but the constant restrictions... I could not understand them. For example, why, when I left my cell (the room where I lived and slept), I could not return there during the day, even if I forgot something. For this, by the way, they prescribed peculiar punishments, of course, not physical, but spiritual, to say a certain prayer. Now, perhaps, I understand that in such a community rules are needed, because how else to manage people. Although times change, so the rules need to be updated.

So, were the harsh rules the reason that made you leave the monastery? You see, I came there as an already established, educated person, when most girls crossed its threshold only after graduating from school. I had my own established worldview, a certain life experience, so when they wanted to equate everyone with the same yardstick, it was quite difficult for me. In general, in a monastery you must strictly adhere to three things: obedience, poverty and purity. If I had no problems with the last two, then I could not come to terms with the first point.

How did the other sisters react to this decision? I won’t lie - they took it very negatively. It was really a shame for this, because I was not in bad standing with the sisters. Another fact that unpleasantly surprised me and which I learned about later is that my telephone conversations with my mother were wiretapped and my letters were re-read.

For what purpose was this done? I was a bit of a reserved person, perhaps they didn’t like it.

Are you in touch with any of your sisters today? At that time, I still had a friend in the monastery, although now she has also given up monastic life. One day I called her, and the Chief Superior answered the phone, and she clearly answered me: “You left us, so please don’t call here again.”

Did your friend leave the monastery for the same reasons as you? No, she has a completely different story. This was a kind of protest, because she wanted to enter universities, but she was told that there were already enough sisters with higher education, so she should be sent to live and serve in the village. In addition, she suffered a little because of me, because the monastery knew that we were friends.

What would you say today to a girl who came up to you with a question: should she go to a monastery or not? There is no need to advise anything here. Understand, a monastery is wonderful if it has normal rules, relationships, understanding, but even there you can know God - a lot, a little, or not at all. You will never understand what a monastery is until you visit there and experience true monastic life.

There is an opinion that people often escape to a monastic home from earthly problems, disappointments and the inability to perceive cruel reality. Yes, such cases do happen, but do these women find the desired peace here? After all, over time they will still understand that monasticism is the lot of the chosen ones.

That is why this day has increasingly begun to be celebrated in our regions, despite the fact that it came into our traditions relatively recently.

And one of those was a nurse costume for Halloween.

How to complement the created image

When creating a Halloween costume, do not forget that when choosing an image, you must behave accordingly. That is, if you are a zombie, then your movements should be jerky and jagged. But your success will not only depend on this. The effectiveness of the suit can be enhanced by small details:

• A medical mask will add mystery to your appearance;
• Using vampire fangs in combination with a flirtatious appearance, you will embody the appearance of a vampire nurse;
• When creating lacerated wounds with makeup, enhance the darkness of your image by placing foreign objects in the damage: glass shards, artificial blades, or an imitation of a stuck knife or syringe.

These recommendations will allow you to create an original and suitable outfit for the holiday.
