Makeup for Deathly Beauty

Quick Tip

Makeup for Deathly Beauty

Foundation: Extremely pale to denote illness or in this case... death. You might even want to add a touch of gray to the foundation.

Concealer: not necessary

Shading: Work a touch of blue and purple shadow worked into areas beneath the eye and cheekbones. A touch around the nostrils will contribute to the appearance of a ghostly figure. Be sure not to go overboard with these colors. Remember that you are supposedly dead and as a result you are rather colorless. Greasepaint is generally used, but makeup kits appearing at Halloween should provide you with the colors you need.

Eye Liner: Here is where you get to play with your makeup. At this point, you appear to be rather colorless, with emphasis on your deathly appearance. Using a heavy hand with your liner shows that you haven't given up your love of makeup quite yet!

Eye Brows: Again, brows need to be emphasized. Do a little maintenance and add some color if necessary.

Eye Shadow : I would suggest smudges of hot pink to give the impression of fever.

Blush: None

Lipstick: I would choose an intense blue shade. You should be able to find this color in Halloween makeup kits especially around the Halloween season. Work the blue into the natural liplines to give the impression of multiple cracks.
