Halloween Makeup Tutorial: Skull - YouTube

Create a classic skull look using white face paint, black details, and gray shading. Apply white all over, then paint hollow eyes, a triangular nose, and vertical teeth lines. Finish by outlining the teeth and adding depth around the eyes and nose.

Directions

  1. Cover your entire face and neck with white face paint using a makeup sponge for an even base.
  2. With a small brush dipped in black paint, create large, empty eye sockets that look deep and hollow.
  3. Paint an upside-down black triangle over your nose area to mimic the skull's nose cavity.
  4. Add vertical black lines across your lips and chin to represent the teeth.
  5. Outline these teeth shapes with black paint to make them distinct and crisp.
  6. Use gray paint to add shading around your eye sockets and nose, giving the skull more depth.
