Help w/face paint to go with a Halloween costume!

My younger son is going to be an army soldier for Halloween and will be wearing the digital army uniform. I'm having such a hard time finding matching face paint I can use for his face. They only sell the original brown and green which isn't even close to the same colors.

I found some online, but after shipping it would have been almost $15.00 just for the face paint which I refuse to spend.

I'm having a senior moment on how/what colors I can mix to come remotely close to the same colors as his costume?

Can you help? What should I mix??? They only sell mainly the primary colors in the store so it's hard...

I'm pretty much looking for that olive green color and that cool/blue darker gray color?

Re: Help w/makeup for Halloween costume!

oh no no no no no no makeup won't do. you need face paint.

I know you are trying to think of a solution but I would do nothing before regular make-up. It won't look right.

I'm sorry.... face paint is what I meant. I'm going to fix the post. Thanks!

Don't use makeup, you can use camouflage face paint at any hunting shop.

They use the green and brown/black even with the new uniforms.

But beware, it is a pain to get off. Do you know anyone in the military where you live? I'm sure they'd be able to spare some for you.

You can mix a little white in the greens and blues to try to get them to the color you want
