Materials Needed
Before you start, it’s essential to gather all the materials you’ll need. Here’s a list of what you’ll need:
- White face paint
- Black face paint
- Small and medium-sized makeup brushes
- Sponge
- Makeup setting spray
Step-by-Step Guide
Now that you have all the materials, let’s get started with the step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Apply Base Coat
Using a makeup sponge, apply the white face paint all over your face, making sure to cover your lips and eyebrows too. This will be the base coat for your skeleton look.
Step 2: Create Eye Sockets
Using a medium-sized brush and black face paint, create two circles around your eyes to make the eye sockets. Make sure to blend it well, so it looks like a hollow space.
Step 3: Draw Nose and Teeth
Using the same black paint and a small brush, draw a triangle shape for the nose and fill it in. Then, draw the teeth by creating horizontal lines across your lips and vertical lines down your lips.
Step 4: Add Depth
Now, it’s time to add some depth to your skeleton look. Using a small brush and black paint, create shadows around the eye sockets, nose, and teeth. This will give your face a more realistic and 3D appearance.
Step 5: Set the Makeup
Finally, once you’re happy with your skeleton look, use a makeup setting spray to keep it in place for the whole night.
