This tutorial walks you through creating a classic witch look using green and army green cream makeup, emerald eyeshadow, and purple lip accents. You'll learn how to contour, set, and apply color for a spooky but polished effect. All products and prices are included to help you replicate the look easily.
Directions
- Begin with your usual makeup application to create a protective foundation between your skin and the heavier theatrical products, reducing the chance of irritation.
- Using a makeup sponge, cover your entire face and neck with Ben Nye Creme Color in Lime Green, making sure to blend thoroughly for an even layer.
- For contouring, apply Ben Nye Creme Color in Army Green ($6) to the hollow areas of your cheeks, the sides of your nose, your temples, along your hairline, and along your jawline.
- Set the makeup by lightly tapping Natural Set Colorless Face Powder ($28) onto your face with a brush—avoid dragging to keep the cream base intact.
- With a fluffy eyeshadow brush, apply an emerald green shadow (like the one from the Pop Beauty Sunshine Palette, $33) to the outer corners of your eyes and the inner corners near the bridge of your nose.
- Finally, line and fill the center of your upper and lower lips using Nanacoco’s Auto Eye & Lip Pencil in Purple, then layer the Pop Beauty Sunshine Palette over it.
