Makeup Look: Dia De Los Muertos

Hey! So, back around Dia De Los Muertos, I had a couple friends calling me to do their face in the skull style. I would say yes and then back out because the truth is I've never been great at full face makeup, I don't have that eye for symmetry. Sooooo, I tried it. I used some YouTube tutorials as reference from RissRose2 and some pictures from Pinterest but went with a half face look. I left the other side natural cuz... Idk. I just did. LOL! 

How-To:

I started by drawing the line down the center of my face in white 

eyeliner pencil. Using the same pencil, I drew out the design I wanted.

Then I mixed the white face makeup with a little foundation to make it 

more pliable and less POW shocking white and applied it to the face in

a thin layer, making sure I could see the lines through the makeup. I 

think i was going for more "SUPER Pale skin" than "Ghost white". I set it 

with the translucent powder and used a purple pigment, mixed it with 

a little translucent powder and did some contouring of the cheeks and 

around the hairline. I circled the eyes with the black cream liner and 

set it with black eyeshadow so it didn't melt and get patchy. Using 

liquid liner, I drew the scallops on the eyes, the scrolls on the face 

and the "stitches" around the lips. Then I filled in some areas with 

the purple eyeshadow pigment. To give the eyes some definition, 

I packed the purple OVER the black cream shadow just on the lid 

and applied the liner to define the lashline a little. Mascara didn't

seem necessary but I lined my upper and lower waterlines with a 

black pencil and That's it!!

 I know that's a lot of information and I'm not sure I'm gonna make a tutorial on it. Maybe closer to the NEXT Day of the Dead I will. Until then, here's how it came out...
