Halloween makeup- cracked skull

Hey guys! So over the next few days leading up to Halloween I am going to post some picture tutorials on how to create these easy yet effective makeup masks using what is in your makeup bag (and white paint). For this look you will need- white paint, eyeliner, black eye shadow, red lipstick and the rest of your day today makeup.

Step 1- use black eyeliner to create this zig-zag shape on one side of your face, how ever big/ small you desire.

Step 2- now you have the zig-zag shape, put your normal make up into the zig-zag shape. On the other side, cover the rest of your face in white face paint and draw a circle in eyeliner around your eye socket and colour it in using the eyeliner (you can use black face paint too but eyeliner is all I had at the time!)

Step 3- draw a line in eyeliner from your cheek bone to the edge of your mouth. Then colour the end of your nose in and triangular kind if shape and shade in around the zig- zag and the side of your forehead to give shape. And creating a good skull is all about shading. (sorry the pictures are around the wrong way the wouldn't change sides). Once you have done this, shade in under the cheek bone line and add a slightly lighter one above it then use a thin brush and black eye shadow to create little crack like marks on your forehead. After that, use your eyeliner to create little lines on your lips to begin to create the teeth, going about an inch onto your cheek and then do upside down 'C' shapes linking each line together to finish the teeth shape. I then went back and added more white paint to each tooth to make them stand out more.

The final step is to add red lipstick to the 'normal' side of your lips! make sure you remember to shade in around the zig- zags on this side of your face too! If you really want to make this whole look 'POP' id suggest adding paint down your neck and adding shading, and getting some white contact lenses would really finish this look off!!!

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial! I will be posting another one tomorrow!!

Enjoy!
