You can easily decide whether you want to stick with the traditional black and white sugar skull designs or whether you want to explore and go for the colorful decorative skull designs.

How to Create It:

• Base: Begin with a dabbing white base on your face. It is this that will bring about that characteristic skeleton effect.
• Eyes and Cheeks: And as for your eyes, use some black eyeshadow or face paint as it helps give the illusion of dark, hollow sockets. Simply extend the black shading to the cheeks, painting the muscles in a skeletal form with the same lines.
• Teeth: As for the teeth, apply black liner to the lips in the horizontal planes towards the cheeks and crops Orlando in breathing out white parts in between. Thin vertical lines crossing over these planes would help create the effect of hollow skeletal teeth.
• Details: Use darker and lighter tones of shadows and highlights in adding extra dimension. For example red, blue or gold can be added to provide more creativity into the famed skull make up.
• Pro Tip: Stencils can come in handy when finishing to help cut down the intricacies of time and workings out, especially on places like the teeth and cheek bones.

• Eyes: Dark eye shadow is worn on the lower part of the eyes to create a sunken eye look while using metallic or glitter on other parts of the eyes to give it some color and sparkle.
• Glitter: Dab glitter onto the cheekbones, lids of the eyes and on the edges of the wounds where the glam effect will be felt or seen. This is the point where the “glam” enters – this is where you should shine.
