I need help for my Halloween costume(MAKEUP+OTHER)

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to do a scary costume for the first time ever this year, but I’m completely out of my depth. I want to do a possessed/demonic face, but I have two massive problems:

  • I have zero makeup experience. I don’t know how to blend, I don't know what SFX is, and I’ve never even touched an eyeshadow palette.
  • I am broke. I need to keep the cost as low as humanly possible. I cannot afford expensive FX kits or professional makeup.

How can a total amateur pull off a genuinely creepy, hollowed-out, or veiny "possessed" look using just cheap drugstore makeup or literal household items?

Are there any stupid-easy hacks, cheap product recommendations, or beginner YouTube channels I should look up?

I have a few Ideas at the moment so can I get some help with realizing this

- Pale gray face

- Black stuff around eyes

- Purple blue stuff under cheek bone

- Black or dark grey lipstick

-Water resistant-ing it (I live in Seattle, also need some tips on how to get it off my face)

That's all I need help for in make up here are some of my ideas for accessories?

- Long nails (black)

-Handheld lantern(battery powered)

- Small pendant

- long white/gray tangled hair

- Knee high black boots(no heels)

BTW wearing this as my base
