The fact is that you can find any skeleton makeup that you like on the Internet. The only difficulty arises when it comes to pulling it off. You need to count on your makeup skills greatly so that your look is flawless.
Styling Tips: Skeleton smile is what will require the most painstaking work in this Halloween look:
- First you need to draw black along the line where your lips touch.
- Bring this line beyond the lips - “extend” it to approximately the middle of the cheeks.
- Cut this long horizontal strip with vertical strokes. Try to draw them not very thick, but at the same time rich and clear. The Long Wearing Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner for Prom Nights and Costume Shows by ROWCES will help you with this.
- In this way you will get skeleton teeth, and a wide “smile”. The teeth can be drawn in more detail with a brush.
