Skeleton Makeup Look

Aloha pals!

I hope y’all are fantastic and indulging in the joys of this season as much as I am. As Halloween time is here, I thought it would be fun to make the best out of this opportunity. If you know me, I take great delight in creating new looks so this is merely my take on a Halloween skeleton inspired look. It’s relatively easy and affordable but obviously, you can personalise it however you like. Enjoy!

Eyes

Conceal and correct. (It’s alright even if you don’t, we’re creating a skeleton face after all)
Sweep a white powder or eye shadow across your eye from lash to brow.
Blend a brown eye shadow just above the socket.
Apply a sharp black eye shadow in the crease, simultaneously blending it with the brown eye shadow.
Keep on blending to achieve smokey eyes.
Use eyeliner to line the upper lids and extend it to the end of the black eye smokey shadow to give it a winged eye effect (shown in the images).
Darken it with a liquid eyeliner if you wish.
Take the black pencil eye liner (or liquid) and draw an extended black line at the inner corners of your eyes.
Fill in your eyebrows and give them a sharp edge.

Then use a glittery white/silver eye shadow/highlighter and sweep it at the upper inner corners of your eyes (above the black line). Define the lash line with the same eye shadow.

Nose

Then just draw a skeleton-like nose and fill it in. If you wish, you could extend the black line over your eyebrows as well. Slightly blend it out.

Face

Contour with a brown shade at the hollows of your cheeks, temples (all the usual places).
To give it a more skeleton-like effect, take a black eye shadow and use the same contour brush to blend it with the brown contour. This will give your cheekbones more depth.
Sweep some highlighter over the top of your cheeks.
Draw vertical lines (as teeth) about half an inch apart on your lips with a black pencil lip liner/ liquid liner.
