Sugar Skull

My sister asked me to go to a Dia De Los Muertos party with her and she wanted to paint a sugar skull on her face. I went to the Halloween store to pick up some make up. It was nice because it was Novermber 1st and everything was on sale! I got A LOT of makeup for $18. 

I looked up online some pictures that I liked and these are what I found...

They were all beautiful to me but I decided to use the 2nd one as my inspiration. It took an hour and a half to paint my face! Finally my sister decided it took too long and we didn't paint hers. This is how it turned out...

Well I had so much fun painting my face, while Zach was at work the next day I painted it again and then again haha!

These are the 2 I did that day. 

Needless to say, my face hurt that night from all the make up that I rubbed off. That stuff stays on good!

I took some pictures to show how I did it, in case anyone else wants to try!

1. Find a picture of something you like. This was mine. 

2. Start with a fresh clean face! The makeup lasts longer and looks better on a clean face. Pull your hair out of your face. 

Tools needed:

Makeup in the colors you want to use. 

Black eye liner. 

White base makeup (it doesn't have to be white or you don't need a base makeup if you don't want a color underneath)

Makeup sponge. 

Small paint brushes. 

Water. 

3. Paint your face with the base color. 

4. Choose color for eyes and paint the shape you want then outline it with the eye liner. 

I didn't paint over my eyebrows. Just filled it in with the eye liner. 

It's all pretty easy! The hardest part for me was doing the left side of my face because I am right handed. You just draw whatever designs you want! 

One thing I found to help was make an outline then paint the inside then outline again because I always tend to mess up an go outside the lines!

Don't buy cheap makeup if you want it to last a while too. The make up I bought was great! The colors didn't blend together. It dried fast!

This was my favorite, I think it turned out good! I can't wait until next Halloween now. It will be fun. I want to do something scary on Zach and me!
