Remember to set your face with a setting powder to help the makeup last longer and a translucent powder to help reduce shine. Finally, have some makeup remover or baby oil on hand for easy removal at the night’s end.

Applying foundation and concealer

1. Start with a clean face, free of oils or moisturizers.

2. Apply a thin layer of white face paints all over your face using a makeup sponge. Make sure to blend it well into your neck and hairline to avoid harsh lines.

3. If necessary, apply a concealer that matches your skin tone to any areas with blemishes or dark circles.

4. Use a large brush to blend the concealer into the white face paint, ensuring that the color is even and smooth all over the face.

5. Set the foundation and concealer with a setting powder to help it stay in place and avoid smudging or smearing.

Note: You can skip this step if you use a makeup product with foundation and concealer, such as a special effects palette. In this case, follow the instructions for the specific product you’re using.

Creating depth and Definition in the face

1. Use a small brush and black face paint to create contours and shadows on your face. Start by drawing lines along the sides of your nose, cheekbones, jawline, and under chin.

2. Blend the black paint into the white face using a makeup sponge or brush.

3. Use a small brush to add black paint to areas that need more definition, such as the temples and hollows of the cheeks.

4. Use a large brush to dust some translucent powder over the face to help reduce shine and set the makeup.

Note: The goal is to create a 3-dimensional look, with light and dark areas, to create the illusion of bones and skulls. The amount of contouring and shading you do will depend on the look you’re trying to achieve, so feel free to add more or less as needed.

Creating the nose, cheekbones, jawline, and eye sockets

1. Nose: Use a black eyeliner pencil to draw a line down the center of your nose and then fill in the sides with black face paint. Blend the paint well to create a defined nose.

2. Cheekbones: Use a black eyeliner pencil to draw lines from the corners of your mouth to your temples. Fill in the lines with black face paint and blend well to create the illusion of cheekbones.

3. Jawline: Use a black eyeliner pencil to draw a line along your jawline and fill it with black face paint. Blend the paint well to create a defined jawline.

4. Eye Sockets: Use a black eyeliner pencil to draw a line around the outside of each eye, creating a “V” shape. Fill in the lines with black face paint and blend well to create the illusion of eye sockets.

Note: For added effect, you can use CG Cosmetics products and white eyeliner pencil to add highlights to the center of each cheekbone and the bridge of the nose. This will help bring out the skeleton features and give the face more dimension.

Adding highlights to bring out the skeleton features

1. Use a white eyeliner pencil or white face paint to highlight the center of each cheekbone, the bridge of the nose, and the brow bones.

2. Blend the highlights with a brush or sponge to create a smooth and seamless look.

3. If desired, add a highlight to the center of the forehead, under the eyes, and to the top of the chin.

Note: The goal of highlighting is to bring out the skeleton features and give the face more dimension. Be careful not to overdo it, as too much highlighting can make a face look flat and unnatural. Use a light hand and blend well for best results.

Tips for removing makeup and caring for your skin.

1. Makeup Remover: To remove the skeleton face makeup, use a gentle makeup remover, such as micellar water, or a mix of baby oil and a gentle cleanser. Gently massage the remover into your skin, making sure to remove all of the face paint and other makeup products.

2. Cleanse: Follow up with a gentle cleanser to remove any remaining makeup traces and hydrate your skin.

3. Moisturize: After cleansing, use a nourishing moisturizer to hydrate and soothe your skin.

4. Avoid Scrubbing: Avoid scrubbing your skin too hard or using harsh exfoliating products, as this can irritate the skin and strip it of its natural oils.

5. Be gentle with your skin, as face paint and other makeup products can dry it.

Note: It’s important to take care of your skin after wearing heavy makeup, as face paint and other products can clog pores and cause breakouts. Always follow a thorough skincare routine and avoid sleeping in your makeup to help maintain healthy, glowing skin.
