Directions

- Paint an intricate white lace pattern on your face and place tiny pearls near the eyes for a delicate, attractive Day of the Dead style.
- Achieve a magical unicorn look with gentle makeup, space buns, a horn, and a faux-fur coat.
- Cover your face with sparkles, dramatic lashes, and gold leaf to mimic the cosmos; this works best if you have dark hair.
- Layer white, silver, and glittery shadows for an ethereal, timeless Victorian ghost appearance.
- Draw a black masquerade mask on your face and attach a lace trim along its upper edge using lash adhesive.
- Go for a moody unicorn design that naturally complements dark hair.
- Press a fishnet stocking over your skin and dust eye shadow over it to form scale textures, then sculpt with green and turquoise shading.
- Paint stripes and dots on your face, make your eyes stand out, and attach elf ears to complete the warrior look.
- Blend from black-and-white tones to vivid hues and press silver foil onto your forehead for an artistic avant-garde effect.
- Wear special contact lenses to create a distant gaze and arrange your hair and lipstick in a classic 1920s style.
