I did this Half Skeleton, Halloween makeup, last week and was so happy with how the photos had turned out to be but then I lost all the data while transferring! -_- So here is the only picture you are getting for this post, apologies! :( Anyway, I was inspired to do this look by a photo that Illamasqua posted on twitter the other day.
Product Breakdown:
- Foundation: I used Etude House BB Bright Cream for the skeleton half of my face as a base. I have had this in my stash for more than a year now and the shade was just too white for my complexion so what better time than Halloween to use it up?! For the other half of my face I just mixed Pond's BB Cream with my moisturiser. To set it all, I used Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Translucent.
- Skull Detailing: For the eye socket, nose and hollow of the cheek/jaw, I used Christine Pencil Liner - Kajal Black 580 and set it with Black Matte Eyeshadow from Glamorous Face USA Palette. While for the finer black lines I used Rimmel Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Liner Pencil. For the teeth and few other fine detailing I used Christine Pencil Liner - White Rose 407 and set it all with a matte eyeshadow from Glamorous Face USA Palette.
- Human Side: You can't really see it in the photograph and you can do it any way you like. I kept is simple, just like an everyday makeup look. For this I used Color Studio Professional Pro Blush in 105 Pinkify, Color Studio Pro Dip 100% Water Proof Eye Liner - 002 Jet Black for a wing, and Sweet Touch England 761 Matte Lipstick topped with some matte mauve shadow and a tea pink lip pencil (this photo doesn't do it much justice).
Brushes Used:
Sigma Beauty 3DHD Kabuki* (Review) : This is the only brush I used for doing both halves of my face as it has two flat surfaces. The ridge on it was helpful for drawing the parting line.
Sigma Beauty E40 - Tapered Blending: Used this for all the black shadow and blending it.
Sigma Beauty E55 - Eye Shading: Used this for all the white shadow around my face.
I also used q-tips for cleaning up any mess. To wipe most of this makeup off I was luckily done with just 2 cotton balls soaked up in Bioderma and then I proceeded with deep cleansing.
