Calavera make-up

This alluring beauty of the night brings together Latino heritage and celebration of lives people have passed on. This make-up Inspired by the Mexican dead sugar Skulls.

 

My Model had clean and lightly moisturized face to allow, this allows aqua colour to apply softly.

 

First I applied a washable stick on the eyebrows to flat the hairs so for the paint can blend over easily. Then I used green coloured concealer over the redness on her face and white colour concealer to correct the green on the face as I need the skin to be more porcelain. After that I started with a purple eyeliner to drawn the outline of circles around the eyes; Using my aqua colour palette misting it with water I filled the eyes with my airbrush having my model eye’s closed, sprayed my purple silicone base liquid other layer of the circle and the pink colour on the bottom layer. I wanted the eye area to be more vibrant I went over the circle with shimmery pink and purple eye shadow also my model had lovely blues eye and I wanted them to pop out so I used a black gel liner to give sharper cat flick which helped make the make-up look more mystical.

 

With My white aqua colour body paint using my foundation brush applied to the face and painted all over face, around the eyes continued to the neck, shoulders and chest and after set the make-up with translucent powder.

 

Next using a stencil a guided I apply my airbrush along under cheek bone area to sculpt the face for shading also on the neck and face as I want my model to look more skeletal. Moving to the nose to recreate a skull I used a get black liner to drawn the hollow of the nose on models; moving the lips to create the illusion of teeth I used black gel liner to draw short vertical lines over mouth slightly on to the cheeks and black eye shadow on the inner area of the month.

 

After That I free-hand a spider web and apply sparkly gems onto the make-up to give a 3D effect and finished off the look I applied a flower head peace to give a more haunting look.
