As I’ve mentioned before on my blog, I love
The Exorcist and possession films in general. So, what better way to celebrate
Blogtoberfest than to do a demon inspired makeup look?
I was inspired by this look by makeup artist, Erika Marie, to create this
glam demon tutorial. If you're not familiar with her I highly suggest you check out her Instagram. She's crazy talented and has so many incredible looks on her page. I used a small number of products to complete this look that can
be found pretty much anywhere (especially during the month of October) and it
can be paired with literally anything. Party or event coming up and you don’t
have a costume? Throw on something cute and slap on some blood and you’ve got
yourself a costume.
For starters, you’ll need:
Black pencil liner
Black liquid liner
Dark red eyeshadow
Black eyeshadow
Coagulated blood gel
Stipple Sponge
Red lipstick
Now for the steps:
First- Start by creating a smoky eye. Start
with a neutral transition shade in the crease, then continue by adding a darker
shade in the outer v, building the darkness as you go. Lay down a layer of
black liner onto the lid and then set it with a black shadow for a bolder look.
Finish with winged liner (if you prefer).
Next- Take your dark red shadow and deepen up
your crease. Blend the shadow into the inner corner, as if you’re contouring
your nose. The key is to keep building the color until you achieve a sunken-in
effect. We’re trying to look as dead as possible. The exact shade I used was my
ride or die shadow in “Fresh Scab” from My Pretty Zombie. It’s the perfect deep
red with purple undertones.
Next- Work on the lower lash line. Use a
small pencil brush and the black eyeshadow to darken up the lower lash line,
then blend it out with your red shade. You’ll want to bring the color down
further to get ready for the “tears.” Next – alternate between dragging your
black liner down your cheek and blending with your finger to smudge it out.
Kind of like mascara tears. Bring some of the red onto the cheek as well
because we’ll be blending in some blood later.
Next- For the lips, apply your red lipstick
in the center of your lips and blend outward with your finger. The effect you
want is similar to that “I just ate a cherry popsicle” look. Then – take your
red lipstick and map out the “cuts” on each side of your mouth like a Chelsea
Grin. These don’t have to be perfect because we’re going to cover it with blood
soon.
Next- Use your black liner and sketch out the
cross on your forehead. Again – it doesn’t have to be perfect because we’re
covering it with blood.
Finally- The fun part. Using a small pallet
knife (or q-tip), scrap out some of the coagulate blood and apply it to where
you laid out your cross and your scars near your mouth. The coagulated blood is
perfect because it’s dark, wet-looking, and stays in place. So, if you’re going
somewhere, you don’t have to worry about it sliding all over the place. Build
up the blood till you reach your desired look.
Next – use your stipple sponge
and go over the coagulated blood to make it appear chunky and scabby by simply
pressing it into the product. Add a few drips of stage blood to amp up the
aesthetics.
And you’re finished. This honestly took me
about 15 minutes. All of the products I used will be listed below if you want
to pick up the exact items. Most were under $15.
