Face preparation
If you plan to do the Skeleton make-up, you will need to check your skin for allergic reactions, because in this case, makeup paints will be used. Therefore, a few days before the holiday, put a little paint on your wrist or neck and, if everything is in order, you can proceed directly to cleaning. To do this, remove all makeup from the face, after washing. Then wipe the face with a lotion or tonic suitable for your skin type. After that, apply a lot of moisturizer and wait a few minutes.
Lips should also be moisturized before applying makeup. To do this, use a moisturizing lipstick.
The makeup itself
We apply the base for our makeup. Then we take a black pencil and draw the shadows around the eyes, touching the eyebrows, these will be our skeletal troughs.
Further Halloween makeup ("Skeleton") involves the designation of the nose. To do this, you should probe your nose, indicating the end of the rigid part and the beginning of the cartilage. Here in this area you need to check, then draw two smooth lines to the nostrils. This will be our future nasal cavity.
After you draw a part of the nose with a pencil, proceed to the cheekbones. To do this, first mark the zygomatic bones. The lines on both sides must be symmetrical.
Eyes
It should be remembered that the makeup of the skeleton for a girl is slightly different from the make-up of a strong part of humanity. Girls can draw small arrows on the lower and upper eyelids, preferably with a black pencil. But keep in mind that owners of small eyes should not let the entire contour of the eyes, because this will once again emphasize their size. It is more expedient in this case to note only the upper eyelid. For girls who have big eyes, you can bring them completely.
If you want your Skeleton makeup to shock all friends and others, use dark colors to paint on the contours. Of course, more subtle and tender natures can use pink shades, but in this case you should understand that it will be a very kind and unlike skeleton, although, as you like. So, paint over all the contours marked with a pencil with dark colors, it is better if they are black, this will surely make a splash. Remember that a single coat of paint will not work. It is more advisable to let her dry a little, and then correct all the shortcomings of makeup.
After that, you need to take a large brush from a regular art store and start applying white paints to your face. Foundation brushes in this case is better not to use, otherwise they may deteriorate. After that, take a thin brush and process all the contours more clearly.
Owners of a long nose can adjust its length by drawing a white line in the nasal cavity, slightly cutting the wings of the nose.
To create an image of an evil skeleton, the inner corner of the eyebrow should be made slightly lower than the outer, due to the application of white paint.
Skeletal teeth
Next, proceed to the drawing of the teeth. To do this, use white paint and a regular thin brush. Remember to separate your teeth with a black pencil. This is the most important part of this makeup.
After that, adjust the makeup for Halloween ("Skeleton"), correcting all the shortcomings with the help of painting and feathering.
If you want, at the end you can take black and white shadows and apply them on the entire surface of the face to give the makeup more shine. This is especially useful if you are planning to spend Halloween at the club.
