So Halloween has come
and gone (but it’s still spooky in my heart), and even though we’re about to be
bombarded with peppermint everything and Christmas trees – I have one more
Halloween look for you all.
I was inspired by
Jamie Genevieve on YouTube to recreate this look. If you haven’t watched her
videos, I highly suggest you do. She’s incredibly talented and her style is
flawless.
This is my
super-quick and easy take on her look that I kind of threw together one night
using a handful of products.
On the glam side I
used my favorite face products: Maybelline Matte Fit Me Foundation, Elf Blush
Pallet in Dark, Kat Von D Shade and Light Eye pallet, Elf Contour Kit,
Maybelline Hi-Light in Nude, ColourPop Ultra Satin lip in Prim, and a pair of
Kiss lashes.
On the skeleton side
I used black and white eye shadow sticks. Now, if you’re going to wear this
look out I would highly suggest using a white face paint or a super light
foundation to ensure that your look lasts all night. I just used what I had on
hand because I was playing around with this look and I wasn’t going out.
When doing this look I
suggest doing your glam side first, but apply your lip color last so that it
doesn’t smudge with your skeleton side. I also suggest a matte formula so that
it doesn’t transfer to the skeleton side. My satin lip formula blended with the
white pencil a bit so that’s just something to keep in mind.
For the skeleton
side, start white your light base because it’s a lot easier to add black later
than to add white.
With your black
pencil (or liner) basically map out where you want your shadows to be. A reference
photo is helpful. Around your eye, underneath your cheekbone (where you would
normally apply your contour), your nose, and under your jaw.
After you map it out,
use a dark shadow and a fluffy brush to blend out the lines and add depth.
Then, extend the
corner of your mouth upwards and add in tiny lines onto your mouth.
And you’re finished.
This look is fairly
simple and quick and you can make it your own and add any finishing touches you
want. Wigs, glitter, or even adding different colors to create a watercolor
skeleton – whatever your heart desires. There’s also a ton of skeleton
accessories and clothes out around this time of year. I bought a skeleton body
con dress from Boo Hoo and I also have a skeleton crop top from Nikki Lipstick *pictured above* (both will be featured in my October Faves).
Now I’m off to mourn
Halloween being over.
