Halloween Goblin makeup Clash of Clans inspired by both the Goblin and Goblin King an Green Goblin. I used a latex nose and ears and a skull cap. I painted a green face using water based face paint in a crayon form.

I think this is a cool costume idea for kids and something that parents could do. I would have put the skull cap and nose on before painting his face green.

This is a great step by step tutorial for boys and girls who like to be scary. You only need a rainbow cake, in this case we used Global FunStroke Taupo, White face paint (we used Global Liquid White because it is extra white), a round brush (we used a Mark Reid Number 4) and a flat brush (#4 is good).
