Dia De Los Muertos Skull Makeup Tutorial


So last year for Halloween I did this(^) to my face and received quite a few compliments on it so thought maybe this year I'd show ya'll how to recreate this look super easily, with almost entirely makeup you'll already have. Ain't nobody got the dollah for that.
All you'll need is white face paint, black eyeliner(pencil or gel are best), coloured eyeshadow/facepaint (I used a blue Barry M dazzle dust), and a dark preferably black eyeshadow. Optionally you can also use false lashes and rhinestones around the eyes like I did.

1// Cover face in white face paint.
2// Add black rings around the eyes and fill in with colour of your choice. Cover nose in black eyeliner and add a v over the bridge of your nose.
3// Draw 7-8 lines from between your eyebrows out to your hair line. Try and make them as straight as possible, I sucked at this.
4// Add curved lines between each of those lines to create a spider's web effect on your forehead.
5// Run black/dark eyeshadow through the crease of your eyelids and then add eyeliner if you choose to. I just did a small flick.
6// Draw swirling vines through the hollows of your cheeks, where you would usually contour.
7// Add petals to the ends of the vines and fill in with colour of your choice.
8// Draw a line horizontally through the lips and then some shorter ones vertically over your lips, to make them look like teeth.
Optional
9// Glue rhinestones around the eye sockets either with eyelash glue or use ready glued ones like I did from The Works.
10// Add false eyelashes for a more dramatic eye look.

I hope those instructions were somewhat helpful to you, I paired this makeup look with a  black velvet skater skirt, black heels and a skeleton print t-shirt that I picked up in Primark the year previously. But you can get really nice skeleton dresses online like my friends Niamh did (See photo above [She's the one that makes me look like a dwarf])  
If you try it out please,please, please, pleaseeeeeee send me a pic on twitter, I would love to see it.

DIY Comic Book/Pop Art Makeup

All you need for this simple Halloween DIY look is 
  • Black eyeliner (pencil and liquid preferably)
  • White eyeliner
  • Red lipstick
  • Blue eyeshadow/face paint

1// Start by putting your usual face makeup on, such as foundation, concealer and a slight contour, but don't set it with powder.
2//  Use a black eyeliner (I used my NYX jumbo eye pencil in Black Bean) to fill in your eyebrows, frame your face and draw around the curves of your nose , as in the picture above.
2// Use black eyeliner (I used by Bourjois smoky effect eyeliner pencil) to draw around the lips and to draw tear drops on. Then fill in the tear drops with a blue eyeshadow or face paint (I used a Barry M dazzle dust).
4// Fill in the lips with the brightest red lipstick you own.
5// Use black pencil liner to line your water line and black liquid liner to do a cat eye (I used my L'oreal Super liner slim).
6// Take a white eyeliner and cover your face in white dots (I  used my NYX jumbo eyeliner in milk.)
Fin

How easy was that? It's the perfect last minute costume/makeup look!
