The step-by-step Dragon make-up tutorial

Step 1

Draw the mask

Take a thin red pencil and outline the dragon mask on the forehead. Draw a semicircle with points upwards to represent the crest and downwards to the top of the cheekbones. Trace and color the lips with red pencil.

Step 2

Apply gold blush

Take an FX sponge or thick brush. Moisten it and pick up some golden blush. Apply the color to the inside of the mask, moving it down the nose and nostrils. Draw a few vertical lines with a thin red pencil around the dragon's crest. Add a touch of gold to the middle of the lower lip to add relief and light.

step 3

Drawing horns

Take a fine brush, dampen it and pick up some white blush. Draw the dragon's horns: two on the forehead, two on the temples and two on the cheekbones. Rinse brush and pick up black blush. Trace the contours of the mask over the red semicircles created in step 1 and the horns, and draw two nostrils.
