I’m going to inform you concerning the amazing instructive makeup looks included in this post.
This beautiful Halloween makeup article is more akin to the Grim Reaper, a style that is primarily used in scenes and is worn by various characters in different ways to be either terrifying or charming. Seint Beauty is another to tryout.
Here are Six (6) Steps to a Beautiful Halloween Makeup Look.
Use a Small Angled Lip Brush.
The first step is to sketch it out using matte black eyeshadow. To give it a more sinister appearance, begin with the contour of the skull around the forehead area and progress to a high point rather than a skeleton socket bone, which is normally rather circular.
You can also increase the arch height. The best technique to map out a skeletal shape is to use a reference photograph.
It is entirely up to you how much detail you want to incorporate into your design skull to achieve the effect you desire.
Key point
Remember that creating halloween makeup can take some time, so keep that in mind when you begin working on your reference image. To create the ideal Halloween makeup, simply type in a grim reaper skull and a digital version will appear.
Again, the style you pick is totally up to you; if you’re attempting to design a realistic skull from a digital depiction of the Grim Reaper, use more realistic reference pictures.
Alternatively, you can use something more thorough, such as the one I suggested, which involves looking at a reference photograph and mapping in comparable contours around the face.
As a result, if you’re working between the lines, you may simply mix many face paints to make a bone shade rather than a cream product; but, because you’ll be working around the lines, it normally needs to be applied to the entire face.
Otherwise, you can apply the foundation or cream product directly to the face; however, you’ll need to map things out beforehand.
To make the dip hole shape on the cheeks that you will paint around, first trace around the lines to create a hollow portion.
When you look at reference photographs of a genuine skull, you’ll see that it isn’t that hollow unless you look from the front of the face, where your back teeth would be visible and appear quite scary.
Your zygomatic bone and maxilla meet your jawbone where they separate from the front of your face, creating the appearance of a hole.
However, we stress this to make it appear more creepy when applying makeup and face paint. After that, you’ll be able to see the shape of your Halloween makeup take shape because you’ve filled in all of the bone structure’s sections with bone color.
Use Black Face Paint.
You can use black cream if you want, but I recommend using black face paint because it dries with a matte look. Creams give off a really shiny appearance, but they don’t last long in makeup and must constantly be set with powder.
However, you may get the same appearance using black eyeshadow; the option is entirely yours.
Once again, I’ve chosen black face paint; don’t worry about placing it directly under the eyes; instead, wait until it dries on the upper eyelid to avoid creases from the paint. However, you must look your best before it dries.
Next, paint black on the nose to give the impression that it has vanished, leaving only a dark hole.
Next, paint the bone color in a line along the middle of the nose to resemble the voma bone, as well as the two shapes above the top of the nose bridge, known as the nasal bone.
You must make them appear somewhat realistic, which explains why you are creating these forms; you are not obliged to paint every bone or detail on the face at this time.
However, if you get generic skull-themed ones, you will not have much issue. You may simply change some elements, such as the form of the eye sockets, to make it look like your character, such as the Grim Reaper, by painting underneath the eyes until you have the right shape.
Make an Arch on The Eye Socket.
Now, take super color 043, a brown hue, and blend it with the color of the bone.
You’re going to do this so that your grim reaper skull, or any image you’re using, seems a little more scary, sleek, and flawless. After that, use a little detailer brush to apply the product in dots to the skin and pat it in with your finger.
This will allow the color to be applied unevenly and highlight the muscular appearance. Next, apply the color to the margins of the lines you made on the face.
This will help the shade give the bone a more curved appearance instead of a flat one. Finally, using an eyeliner brush, highlight all of the bones’ elevated points.
key point
To make the nasal bone stand out, highlight its inner border. You’ll also use some white on the brow bone area.
Because this is a grim reaper style, you should make the bone look angry. The brow bone is slightly more rounded around the eye socket, so create a larger arch there to make the eye socket appear menacing.
Then, to make the eye socket areas pop out and appear more curved and prominent, use contour and highlight.
When you combine these approaches with shading, the skull takes on a more three-dimensional aspect because you apply the light color in the same way you used the darker color.
Begin by patting the region with the brush, then distribute the color with your fingers to give the brow bone depth and a somewhat recessed aspect.
Next, apply matte brown eyeshadow to the edge of the seam to give the appearance that the brow bone is rounded and the eye socket is severely caved in. This technique uses mixed colors to create a mottled effect.
Then, depending on how you want this area to look, slightly retract the brow bone and nasal bone on each side of the nose bridge.
Then, use a tiny touch of matte brown eyeshadow to make that region appear more squeezed. Next, apply it over the nasal bone and mix it in between the brow bone using a color that matches the bone color you previously applied.
Create a Furrow Line.
Take a matte black eyeshadow and mix the furrow lines with a soft pencil brush. The eyes will appear more angry since the eye socket is a shadow rather than a definite line.
To soften the appearance of the eye socket, apply a small amount of the matte black and matte brown mixture around the borders of the eyes.
The grim reaper is known to wear cloaks, thus if you’re utilizing this image, you can also place one on your client to assist define the contour of an eye socket’s arch.
However, you must also define the outside region of the skull because, while the cloak will hide the hair and ears, you may be able to see the shape of the skull, so paint it black and fill in the hollow sections of the cheeks.
You can use a bald cap to cover the full face, and you don’t need to black out the edges because the goal is to provide the grim reaper look, which makes the face appear more disturbing and dark.
The next step is to improve the top of the forehead on the frontal bone. Again, if you want to go as the Grim Reaper sans a cloak or as a scar or skeleton, apply black face paint.
To get a well-blended shadow effect, just use the matte brown eyeshadow in circular motions with a soft, fluffy blending brush.
key point
Use a small, fine lip brush and dip it into matte black eyeshadow. Finally, go over the lines you originally applied to the face.
The lines must then be made to look more like cracks or join lines, with shading on one side to enhance depth and give the idea that they are somewhat separated.
Once you’ve accomplished this, you’ll have a nice view of the shadow. I apologize if I appear to be repeating myself, but you must use the same procedure for each region of the skull.
Now that you’ve built a new shape from the two upside-down teardrop shapes, take your time and make sure it looks great.
To draw the hue known as infra or bital, just dip a tiny, fine paintbrush into matte brown eyeshadow and use it as a pencil to sculpt the teeth.
Because you are the one who can make them appear highly realistic or unrealistic, depending on the situation, you just shaded around the painted teeth to make them look like real teeth.
Make Your Face Look Evil and Creepy.
To paint your teeth, use the white supra color. You can also use white face paint, but if you intend to drink after wearing makeup, go with something more durable.
If you do not intend to use anything liquid, the cream will last longer. However, if you mix too many colors, it can appear muddy over time, so be careful.
As a result, I advocate drinking through a straw when wearing this outfit. Next, depict the alveolar bone, which creates and supports the tooth sockets.
In a moment, you’ll return to the teeth and use the fine liner brush to apply matte black eyeshadow to the outside of the nasal bone, fading the color outward for a more defined look.
Even if you’ve incorporated the realistic parts of the skull, you can add individuality by drawing crease lines immediately above the nose.
Key point
This skull naturally has wave lines, but because it is a character, you may make it appear like the Grim Reaper or sinister and terrifying. This is why you are doing it now that you have completed the maxilla on top.
The mandible at the bottom will be completed by creating socket lines for the teeth. To give the teeth a little three-dimensional appearance, apply some shading between the lines with matte brown eyeshadow.
You can take your time and create a realistic and effective look, but you must eventually stop. The only thing left to do is polish the appearance.
Simply continue shading the space between the teeth and the line that separates the mandible and maxilla. Next, apply shade to the area around the nose and between the dental lines.
Finally
Add definition to the area around the infra-orbital dents in the face by sketching a line that resembles the existing shape but is slightly farther back.
Leaving a white rim around the edge generates depression and shadow, giving the impression that the bone protrudes slightly.
The Zygomatic Bone.
The same technique will now be used to apply black face paint around the eye socket. The focus will be on the top of the socket bone, giving the impression that the eye socket has a slight lip and curves over.
To intensify this highlight, apply a small quantity of white super color exactly at the rim; focus only on the lower half of the eye socket.
The brow bone area does not require makeup because light does not reflect off of it. Instead, use black face paint to mark the boundary between the zygomatic bone and the jaw.
Apply white super color to the mandible’s body, or chin area, and pat it in with your finger. Finally, apply the color to the jawline, creating a wavy line along the front of the chin.
Then combine it in a circular motion. Next, draw little v shapes slightly above the line you’ve just drawn. Finally, mix upwards, just like you did with the top set.
This merely defines the socket location where the teeth will be reinserted. Use the matte brown face paint to darken the lower portion of the chin and jawline.
After you’ve emphasized your cheekbones, use a fluffy blending brush to add a little shadow and create the illusion that the jawbone is curled, making it appear more three-dimensional.
Key point
As I usually say, the easiest technique to blend is to use little circular motions to generate a smooth gradient. This method is also used on the zygomatic bone.
You also darken the outer corner of the forehead, because no grim reaper skull is complete without some cracks.
Next, lightly apply little waves to the skin by pressing the brush down and drawing it outward; you can apply as many or as few as you choose.
Once all of the cracks are in place, you can simply apply some shading on either side of them. After that, all you need to do is paint your companion’s eyes and nostrils black, put on a cloak, and wear mesh contact lenses.
