Monster Bride Halloween Makeup Tutorial

Directions

1. Cleanse, tone and moisturise face, and apply lip balm. Next, apply your usual primer.
2. Apply a thin, sheer layer of the white face paint / foundation to your entire face, ears and around 1/3 the way down your neck, fading into your natural skin tone. Don’t make the white too thick, we’re going for more of a deathly pale look rather than bright white.
3. Use a powder brush and dust a light layer of the white powder over the white face paint. Again, try not to make it too opaque.
4. Next fill in your eyebrows, exaggerating the shape to make them look slightly thicker, using a black eyeliner pencil. Extend the line from the very tip of your eyebrow towards your hairline, creating a gentle flick at the end. I faded out the colour as I got closer to the hairline, but go with what you think will work best for you!
5. Use a small, rounded brush to apply matte black eyeshadow to the lower lash line, extend this upwards at the corner of your eye to create a subtle flick. Smudge this gently.
6. Using a flat, angled brush apply the same black eyeshadow to the creases of your eyelid, starting at the outer corners stopping around 1/2 way and blend.
7. Next, use your liquid eyeliner to create the perfect flick, mimicking the line of the eye shadow created earlier. Make sure there’s no gaps between the liner and your lash line.
8. Finish off with 2 coats of mascara to your upper and lower lashes
9. Use a soft, round brush to apply the matte black eyeshadow under your cheekbones. This can be moved depending on where you want to place your ‘stitching’.
10. Now its time to draw on your stitching, take a liquid eye liner and draw a line from your hairline down to your chin. This can be straight, wiggly, or placed wherever you want it. Wait a few minutes for it to dry and draw little ‘x’ shapes over the line.
11. Repeat this step again on the other side, this time changing the position. I decided to end the line at the corner of my mouth this time.
12. Use black eyeliner pencil / lipstick to draw a thick outline of the lips, leaving the centre blank.
13. Next use your deep purple lipstick to fill in your entire lip, going over the black. Blend lightly with your fingers if needed.
