Makeup By Megan: Halloween Series: Sugar Skull Makeup Tutorial

Hey everyone,

Today's Halloween Series has got to be my favourite so far. I decided to recreate a Sugar Skull look, something that has been very popular recently! I hope you enjoy this look, thanks for reading!

For my foundation I used a dark foundation (Max Factor's Lasting Performance) and a lighter one to highlight my face (Rimmel Stay Matte)

Here's the dark foundation.

The placement of the lighter foundation.

And both foundations blended together.

I then took a matte black eyeshadow. This one is by Smashbox, but you can use any shadow you want!

I started by putting this all round my eye, roughly where the eye socket is.

I then brought it a little lower down my face.

I had to include this picture because it's hilarious.... but I also used an angle brush with the same eyeshadow for some more detailed parts.

I coloured underneath my nose and brought it up to a point as central as i could (I have a bit of a wonky nose and jaw).

Once it had been coloured in, I added a little diamond on my cupids bow.

I then added the little eyebrows above the eye sockets. I'm not sure if they're really brows, but I added them in anyway.

I also added a black line in the hollows of my cheeks and took that all the way down to my lips.

And then I added some detail on my chin. You can use whatever shape you like, and spiderwebs are also popular options!

I then added some more small details on the side of this design.

I then took a black eyeliner from Rimmel.

I used this to create the scalloped edges to the eye socket.

I also added another layer to my chin design and tight-lined my left eye. I did one eye so you could see what a difference it makes to have a completely black eye and get rid of the skin colour from the waterline.

I added some small dots above the brows and also on top of the flicks by the chin design.

I then added the skeletal mouth marks, keeping is symmetrical across my whole face. I started in the centre and worked my way outwards, all the way up to my hairline.

I then added a little design to my forehead. You can get pretty creative with this and draw whatever you feel like.

Then you can take a colour of your choice and fill in any gaps!

I added it into the chin design, forehead design and the drew on some teardrops under my eyes and just below my cheekbones to incorporate more of the purple shadow.
