Halloween. Black and White Skull

Applying Halloween makeup can be a daunting task. With a few tips, you can become a few steps closer to a master.
• Add darker colors to the areas you want to recede.
• Add lighter colors to the ones you want to pop forward.
When applying Halloween makeup, you'll make your lines more distinct and your color contrasts more obvious.
You'll use black and white makeup to complete the look. On the forehead, cheekbones, chin, and end of the nose, you'll see the white makeup (apply it to your whole face first. You'll go over it later). Since the cheeks should be sunken in and the eye sockets should be empty, you'll use black surrounding the eyes (follow your eye sockets in a circular motion for guidance) and underneath the cheekbones, blended downward. In a triangular shape surrounding the nose, you'll need to add black as well.
You can use a deep gray or charcoal color to blend the white areas and black areas together if you wish. This creates a gradient-and more believable shadowy appearance. For the mouth, you'll again use black and white. Paint your lips white, then add short vertical lines above and below the lips to give the illusion of teeth.
Practice makes perfect, so give yourself time to perfect your skills. It really helps to study your face in the mirror for the most adequate placement of the colors. Also, don't forget that allergy test before applying Halloween makeup to your whole face. Nothing kills the Halloween spirit like an itchy rash all over your face and neck.

This is very helpful, but could you tell me what to do if i'm trying to paint a black skull, like black mask?

[anaarthur81]

@MangaPhilosophy don't know exactly what you mean, but maybe reverse the colors?

@Ms1NSANITY yea don't do the Walmart brand... if you live near a spirit store you can use their paint it's pretty good because the colors stay on ... just remember you have makeup on your face because i usually forget i have stuff on my face and tend to scratch even then it don't come off easily u need like soap and water hahas hope that helped with the time limit given before halloween... the Wolfe brand was a lil pricey for me :-/
