In this video, which is part of a series on Bear makeup for Halloween, makeup expert and artist Matt Cail demonstrates how to do the base makeup, including tips and ideas.

First Matt applies a layer of dark brown to the face. What you are initially going for is a solid layer of dark brown. The areas above the eyes, about a half circle shape he will leave little to no brown there. Also the areas on the face above the laugh lines will be left with little to no brown. Everything else is going to be a dark brown.

Make sure when yo are doing this that you have a nice, consistent strong layer of base makeup. This is a pivotal stage in the creation of the Bear, so you need to make sure that there are no flashy, strange spots where you can get that drying variation. Make sure that it remains nice and constant all over the face.

The base is very important because the base color is the skin color of the character the actor will play – in this example a Bear.
