Step-by-step skeleton makeup tutorial

Step 1

Delineate the head of the skeleton

Take a thin white pencil. Trace the head of your skeleton on the diagonal of the face. On the left-hand side of the diagonal, draw two diamond shapes. Feel free to use irregular strokes to make the make-up more realistic. Use a thick brush. Moisten the brush. Pick up some white blush. Paint the inside of the area you've just outlined, avoiding the eye area.

Step 2

Drawing contours

Using a black jumbo pencil, draw a black circle around the right eye. Use a fairly fine brush. Wet the brush. Pick up some black blush. Fill in the black circle. Use a very fine brush. Still using the black blush, outline your skeleton's head.

step 3

Drawing teeth and nose

Again, using your fine brush, pick up some black blush. On the tip of the nose, draw two drops side by side. The one on the left should be larger than the one on the right. Above and below the mouth, trace the teeth of your skeleton.

Step 2

Enhancing make-up

Take a thin black pencil. Draw small pencil lines above and below the teeth you've just created. Also draw lines in a few places on the make-up to give relief: on the forehead, the chin, to the right of the eye, to the left of the mouth and in the two shapes drawn alongside. Blend each line with your fingers.
