A few weeks ago I was contacted by Poundworld to see if I was up for their Halloween Makeup Challenge. The requirements of which was to visit one of their stores to purchase a selection of items from their Halloween makeup and accessories section. I then needed to film myself being made up or applying this to someone else, as a kind of makeup tutorial video. It sounded like a fun challenge and something I was definitely up for as I’m certain, if anything it would be funny. For this challenge, I asked Nick to help me and we decided (for some reason, LOL!) that he would be applying the makeup to turn me into a witch!
Watch the video below to see how it turned out:
If you want to create a very simple look like mine, I have outlined the steps below:
1. WITCHES SKIN
Use the green face paint from the ‘Creepy Face Paints’ set, applying an even layer to all visible areas of your face and neck. It doesn’t look like much in the tube but you actually only need a small amount to cover your face, neck and ears.
2. WITCHES EYES
Witches have dark eyes (apparently!) so to create dark eyes, use the black makeup from the ‘Ghoulish Make Up Set’, and with the applicator provided carefully apply it around the eyes. Witches have evil looking dark eyebrows too so your going to need to use the black crayon from the same Ghoulish Make Up Set to draw over your existing eyebrows to give them more emphasis and shape to make them a bit more evil looking. You could try creating a unibrow too, now that is evil!
3. WITCHES NOSE
As i’m sure you all know, witches have horrible ugly looking noses, so I was going to need some help with this one. Fortunately, Poundworld have this lovely ‘Halloween Witch Make Up Kit’ that includes a horrible looking witches nose. After putting on the witches nose, apply a bit of the green face paint so it matches the rest of your skin.
4. WITCHES LIPS
For our witches lips, use the red crayon from the ‘Ghoulish Make Up Set’ as a kind of large lip pencil. This will make your lips stand out more to complement the green skin.
5. WITCHES HAIR & HAT
I actually cheated (very slightly) here as I already had this green wig at home, so it wasn’t worth buying again from Poundworld. This was the only item that I didn’t get from Poundworld. They do of course have a selection of wigs you can choose from. It doesn’t need to be green of course, anything witch-like will do. I did buy my witch hat from Poundworld though. When you put on the wig, ensure it covers your hair (I actually tied my hair back making it much easier to put on), and any small areas of skin that you couldn’t quite cover with the green face paint.
6. WITCHES TEETH
We picked up these ‘Frightful Teeth’ in Poundworld which were great for adding a final touch to complete the look.
And that was it! You can see my final look below. I spent a grand total of £6 which is quite remarkable. I don’t think its the best halloween witch I have seen but that maybe has more to do with Nick’s make up skills, LOL! Anyway, we definitely had fun making the video – it was a fun challenge! Happy Halloween!
What do you think of my witch look? Have you bought halloween make up items or fancy dress from Poundworld before? If so, what did you think? Please leave a comment below as I would love to read what you think.

Wow, you look very scary! I have quite sensitive skin and I think I would be nervous about applying any make -up (regardless of colour) from Poundworld. Sorry! Pen x #KCACOLS
I know what you mean! I’m exactly like that! And it took a lot of courage to do it but I was worrying for nothing as it was great and no problem to remove straight away! Sometimes a little bit of fun in life is good! 😉 x
Haha that looks awesome! I get some of the girls dress up bits from Poundworld and similar shops 🙂 x #KCACOLS
Thank you! They have a great selection this year! Xx
Haha! You always look so glamorous, it is good to see you as a glamorous witch! It made me laugh. You did such a great job with the makeup and the video. #kcacols
Haha thank you lovely! It was so much fun to do! I wasn’t sure at first but at the end I’m glad I did it. Nick and I had a laugh! 🙂 x
Love the make up especially the nose! #KCACOLS
Thank you! That nose was so big! Lol xx
Wow, Franca you are unrecognisable! I would be terrified the green make up would never come off though! #KCACOLS
I know! Haha It came off after 5 minutes. I was also worried but it waa straight forward, no problem at all xx
My goodness you don’t half do a good job as a witch. I’d be careful of setting you a challenge in the future! #KCACOLS
Haha I know! Nick did a great job! I was literally a horrible witch! Lol xx
haha brilliant and I love that you got Nick to do your make up. he did a great job! you look like a fine witch to me hehe! the thing I love about fancy dress is that it doesn’t really matter if it isn’t perfect. we once dressed as zombies for a red or dead party and it was a lot of fun.
six quid for all of this is really good too! #KCACOLS
Exactly! It doesn’t need to be perfect! It is great for having a laugh! And yes for £6 wasn’t bad at all! Xx
Great makeup! #KCACOLS
Thank you x
Fantastic for £6, looks great. #KCACOLS
Very cheap right? Thanks, xx
Very clever!! I’d look a mess! #KCACOLS
I don’t think I would’ve been able to do it on my own. I think Nick did a great job! 😉 xx
Haha, you look great! How long did it take to wash off?! #KCACOLS
5 minutes! It wasn’t that bad actually! xx
It looks great! I’m always sceptical about the quality and what they use in poundworld face paints but this looks to have turned out great 🙂 #KCACOLS
It was very good for that price! X
Not bad for £6!! Perfect for parties if you don’t want to spend too much. I confess I hate Halloween!! #kcacols
It is a great price! I’m the opposite! I love Halloween and it must be because in Peru we do celebrate it properly as the 1st of Nov is a national holiday so the halloween parties are just amazing and not just for kids. I’m talking about the adult parties! 😉 Xx
Haha, looks great! And all for a bargain price, what is not to like about it!!
Hehe! The end look is brilliant! I would never have guessed you used make up from poundland.
#KCACOLS
Haha, looks great! And all for a bargain price, what is not to like about it!! #KCACOLS
The makeup is great and you look really scary ! I think it has something to do with the really green green and the missing tooth 😀 #KCACOLS
Good job. And bargains too! #KCAKOLS
nice job on the makeup! What a super Halloween costume! #KCACOLS
Ahhh wow fantastic franca I love it! Absolutely the witch from the wizard of Oz! Looks so brilliant. I wouldn’t have thought of checking out pound world for Halloween makeup #kcacols
Ha ha, great look!!! Missed a calling as a make up artist there!!!! And what a bargain! #kcacols
I could NEVER pull this off and my kids would end up cowering in a corner and needing therapy.
#amomentwithfranca
Looks great! Very witchy indeed. I love the hat. #KCACOLS
