Using the turquoise and blue pencils (jumbo size), draw 3 symmetrical diamonds on the forehead. With the green pencil (jumbo size) and the blue pencil (thin size), trace leaf motifs on each side of the forehead, alternating colors.

Enhancing contours and tracing ornaments

Use a fine brush. Moisten the brush. Pick up some black face paint. Outline forehead motifs and eye circles. Add ornamental droplets around the eyes. Draw a U-shape on the tip of the nose. Add scrolls and dots on the cheeks and chin.

Tracing the mouth

Still using the fine brush and black face paint, draw a horizontal line on each side of the mouth and vertical lines on the lips to imitate a stitched smile.

Final touches of color

Using a slim yellow pencil and a turquoise pencil, add a few outlines to the ornaments to enhance them. And that's it, the Calavera makeup is done, perfect for a colorful and scary Halloween costume!
