"The best part of dressing up for Halloween is getting to experiment with totally crazy makeup, right? So when the special effects geniuses behind Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando asked if I wanted to make a complete transformation into one of their &amp;quot;scareactors&amp;quot;\u2014the ghosts, ghouls and monsters who make the haunted park come alive (er, dead?!)\u2014I couldn&amp;#039;t say yes fast enough!  Check out my total transformation:       I love the crazed, half-dead look that makeup master Evan created. Here are some of his tricks that you can steal for your Halloween look:  Apply light colors first. Evan started by airbrushing my face with light colors (a ghostly-pale white, sickly yellow), then added deeper shades like purple, red, and black. The light colors won&amp;#039;t show up if they&amp;#039;re layered over dark hues.  Focus on the details. My look was extra-disgusting (in a good way!) because Evan added lots of creepy touches, like a scar on my neck and a splattering of grosteque blisters (he used a stencil to create the super-small dots\u2014make your own by using a paper punch to put holes in a thick sheet of paper).  When in doubt, add blood! Evan says that the secret to a great scareator is adding tons of fake blood! He likes to add a large drip by the mouth and under the nose (ew!).  Pile it on! Evan made sure my makeup was very dramatic and extreme, so it&amp;#039;d still look scary from far away. So if you&amp;#039;re contouring your cheeks or going for a major cat eye, exaggerate it even more than you think you should. You&amp;#039;ll thank me when you see yourself later in pictures!  I had a blast playing an acid-eaten New Yorker for a night, and I definitely got in a few good scares! When one group of friends wanted to take their photo with me, I know I had made it as a real scareactor. :-) What are you going to be for Halloween? Will you go crazy-extreme with the makeup? Would you want the chance to scare people for the night at Universal Orlando?  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
