Our own summary of the original — the full post and photos live at youtube.com.
This Frankenstein makeup tutorial uses green base paint, white highlights for a skeletal structure, and black to hollow out the eyes. Red accents around the eyes and mouth create stitched scars, and setting spray ensures long-lasting wear.
Directions
- Start by covering your whole face and neck with a smooth, even coat of green face paint.
- Take white face paint and apply it to your forehead, cheekbones, and chin to emphasize a bony, skeletal look.
- Use black face paint to fill in the eye sockets deeply, giving a hollow, sunken effect.
- Add red face paint around the eyes and mouth to mimic stitched scars and irritated skin.
- Finish by spraying a setting spray all over your face to keep the makeup intact for hours.
