Monster Bride Halloween Makeup Tutorial

Directions

1. Start by washing, toning, and moisturizing your face, then apply lip balm. Follow up with your go-to primer.
2. Use a thin, sheer coat of white face paint or foundation over your whole face, ears, and about one-third of the way down your neck, blending it into your natural skin color.
3. Lightly dust white setting powder over the white paint using a powder brush.
4. Use a black eyeliner pencil to fill in your brows, making them slightly thicker than usual. Extend the line from the brow tip toward your hairline, ending with a soft flick.
5. With a small rounded brush, apply matte black shadow along your lower lash line, then flick it upward at the outer eye corner. Gently smudge.
6. Using a flat angled brush, apply the same black shadow to your eyelid crease starting from the outer corner and stopping about halfway, then blend.
7. Now use liquid eyeliner to draw a flick matching the shadow line, ensuring no gaps between the liner and your lash line.
8. Apply two coats of mascara to both upper and lower lashes.
9. With a soft round brush, dust matte black shadow under your cheekbones for contour.
10. For the stitched effect, use liquid eyeliner to draw a line from your hairline to your chin. Let it dry a few minutes, then add small ‘x’ marks along the line.
11. Repeat the stitching on the other side, but vary the placement—for example, end the line at the corner of your mouth.
12. Outline your lips thickly with black eyeliner pencil or lipstick, leaving the center empty.
13. Fill in the entire lip with deep purple lipstick, covering the black outline. Blend with fingers if necessary.
