Products Used:
- White base for face
- MUFE 12 flash color case
- Sugarpill Royal Sugar (Makeup Geek Store)
- Sugarpill Bulletproof (Makeup Geek Store)
- Black liquid liner (Makeup Geek Store)
- Black pencil (Makeup Geek Store)
- sequins
- MAC Slick Black Greasepaint stick
- MAC Reflects Transparent Teal (Makeup Geek Store)
- Mascara (Makeup Geek Store)
-
- Start with the white / light base. I know I should’ve done it much whiter myself, but of well.
-
- Then I made line from the corner of my mouth almost to ear (I used basic black pencil).
-
- Then some more depth to cheeks, I used MUFE flash colors black, and some blue and turquoise.
-
- Continue the shading, find your own bone structure, and apply more dark to it.
-
- Then the nose. There lots of different ways to do the “skull nose” (or noseless)I chose this one. I used again MUFE black flash color, which I then finished with matte black eyeshadow to make it appear deeper and less shiny.
-
- Then eyes. Again, find where your bone are, go with them. I wanted to make them also bigger, so I extended the color higher. I used MAC greasepaint stick Slick Black, because I didn’t want it to smudge.
-
- Then I used blue base (MUFE blue & turquoise flash color) on the edger of black on eyes, and then applied Sugarpill Royal Sugar over the blue base.
-
- I also applied Royal Sugar to cheeks, so they would go well with the eyes and look deeper too.
-
- Then I applied some sequins to the look (and I used basic lash glue to attach them).
-
- ..and same for the other side.
-
- I then just drew black thin line to my lips, so they would look kinda like teeth (I used black liquid eyeliner, because I didn’t find my thin brush at that moment :D).
-
- Next I did both the web-thing to the forehead, as well as the chin- thingie. On forehead I just drew the lines with black pencil, and on chin I used again black, and blue&turquoise for “blending”, and added sequins in the shape of a flower in the middle of it:.
-
- Then I applied MAC Reflects Transparent Teal on the web- thingie, and again put sequins in the shape of a flower:.
-
- Finally I added small black rhinestones in the middle of the “flowers”, applied black liner to my waterline, added some mascara, and some random falsies (FE129 from kkcenter HK). Then I put on a wig and attached some flowers to it, and the look was done.
-
- If you’re planning to do this look for halloween (or any other event) remember to also add white to your ears (if they are showing) and neck… I didn’t, because I did this just for fun.
