This step-by-step tutorial guides you through creating a fairytale-inspired makeup look, starting with a contoured face and sculpted eyes set with Frostbite shadow. Use three lipsticks on the forehead, highlight cheekbones, and finish with liquid latex and prosthetic adhesive for a dramatic costume made from six yards of fabric.
Directions
- Use a contour palette to define your face shape.
- Carve out the entire eyelid area to create a clean base.
- Set the carved area with the shade 'Frostbite'.
- Apply three different lipsticks across the rest of the forehead for a gradient effect.
- Dust the same 'Frostbite' eyeshadow onto your cheekbones for a shimmering highlight.
- Create a costume using six yards of fabric.
- Smudge a dark color along the entire lower lash line and into the waterline.
- Apply a generous layer of liquid latex to areas where you want texture.
- Use prosthetic adhesive to secure any special effects pieces.
