# Horror Cosmetics Extreme Facial Bodypainting By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-10-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-faces-extreme-bodypainting References: [yousaytoo](http://www.yousaytoo.com/MandM/incredible-face-paintings/11422?1292) This is some extreme body painting! These horror faces must be part of some type of body painting festival; I know there were two held recently in Austria and Korea. In any event, the first horror face in the gallery is my favorite. That face seems to have been inspired by the Alien monster from the Sigourney Weaver movie of the same name. **Implications** - The featured body paintings have the ability to transform regular people into wild monsters and glamorous, shiny beings. One man looks as if he has been turned into a patch of bamboo while a woman looks as though sparkly jewels have taken over half her face. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Extreme Body Painting:** Opportunity to create bold and transformative body paint designs for events and festivals. - **Horror-inspired Makeup:** Potential to develop horror-themed makeup products for Halloween and special effects. - **Glamorous Face Jewelry:** Chance to design and produce sparkling face jewelry for parties and high-fashion events. ### Who This Affects Most - **Events and Festivals:** Innovative body painters can cater to the growing demand for unique and eye-catching designs at events. - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetic companies can capitalize on the trend by launching horror-inspired makeup collections. - **Fashion Accessories:** Jewelry brands can create and market extravagant face jewelry for fashion-forward individuals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Comedic Horror Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-x-beetlejuice.md) - [Product-Inspired Halloween Looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldi-and-elladoesfx.md) - [Makeup Water Brand Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corpse-paint-makeup.md) - [Comedy Horror Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nyx-cosmetics-x-wednesday.md) - [Horror Doll Makeup Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-decay-x-m3gan.md) - [Beauty Tattoo Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-vinyl-lip-stain.md) - [Distorted Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ailloween.md) - [Horror Film Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scent-of-a-nightmare.md) - [Runway-Inspired Peel-Off Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-001-artistry-mask.md)
