Things to RememberWhen Designing Your Makeup

• Alter the facial features on the plot!
• Hair is included in makeup design (do not leave
  your witch bald)!
• You may include accessories (hats, etc.) in your
  design to show your vision, but know that those
  decisions are ultimately made by the costume
  designer.
• Use color! Use colored pencils or crayons (no
  markers, please).
• List all the materials you need to make your
  design a reality.
• You must be able to explain and justify your
  design choices.
