This tutorial shows you how to create a cute bear look using everyday makeup and a few special touches. Darken your face with foundation and bronzer, add white face paint highlights, and style your hair into Princess Leia buns for instant bear ears.
Directions
- Start by applying your usual makeup, then add some white face paint to lighten certain areas for a bear-like effect.
- To achieve a deeper complexion, use a foundation that's a few shades darker than your skin tone and apply bronzer generously.
- If you don't have a bear costume or hood, create two buns on top of your head styled like Princess Leia's to mimic bear ears.
