Easy Halloween Costume Idea: Scarecrow - Daily Dose of Details
PHOTO · DAILYDOSEOFDETAILS.BLOGSPOT.COM

This scarecrow costume focuses on a creative makeup look with copper and brown tones, stitch-like details, and patchwork lines. Finish the outfit with a flannel shirt, overalls, floppy hat, and straw for an authentic farmyard feel.

Directions

  1. Start by sweeping a light brown eyeshadow into the crease, then layer a copper shade over it. Also apply the copper along the lower lash line.
  2. Use the same copper shadow to create a rounded triangle shape on your nose.
  3. Define your face by contouring the cheekbones, forehead sides, and jawline. Then add a reddish-orange blush to the apples of your cheeks.
  4. With black liquid eyeliner, outline the triangle on your nose and draw approximately six small stitch marks around it.
  5. On each side of your mouth, draw curved lines with the liner and add similar stitch marks inside them.
  6. Apply a coat of red lipstick to your lips.
  7. Using the eyeliner again, pick random spots on your face and draw cross-hatch lines to mimic a patched, distressed look.
  8. Beneath each eye, sketch an upside-down triangle using the eyeliner.
  9. Blend black eyeshadow into the outer crease, merging it with the brown shadow.
  10. Add stitch-like lines to your eyebrows, then finish with false eyelashes.
  11. Complete your costume with a plaid button-up shirt, jeans or overalls, a floppy hat, and maybe some straw tucked in.
