Hello Wonderlandians! Today I have a very interesting interpretation of the Dia de los Muertos Sugar Skulls. I personally wanted something a little more Monochrome-ish so I decided to stick to 3 colors: black,white and red.
I have always been fascinated by the Catrin and Catrina. In this post I hope to share with you some pointers or guides in helping you achieve your Sugar Skull look or interpretation.
What I used:
Then you will want to set it with white powder. I used my eyeshadow from Julia Sanchez Cosmetics. Something I had picked up in my travels to Mexico.
Next you will want to start outlining the eye sockets to create the skull candy eyes. I used the Starlooks eyeliner to outline and then used Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Black Bean to fill it in.
As you can see this is how it looks outlined....
....And this is how it looks filled in :)
Oh by the way I blended with my fingers and then used a brush to make the edges as even as possible. Afterwards you want to set it with a black eyeshadow I used the one from the BH 120 pallette.
I then used the Starlooks eyeliner again to draw the little half circles around the eyes and chose to fill them in with a vibrant red from the BH 120 Pallette. I also took that same red and contoured my cheek bones and added a bit of it on my chin and forehead.
The next thing you want to do is just simply be creative and roll with what your hand tells you. Keep to curvy lines and add in your own personal style to the look and most of all have fun :)
The best thing about the Sugar Skull looks is that each one is unique and there are an infinite amount of combinations possible for creating this look. I hope you had fun following me on this Halloween makeup look and until next time.
Yours Truly,
