How to Do Dead Bride Makeup for a Halloween Costume
- 1). Wash your face thoroughly with soap and water, rinse and completely dry your skin.
- 2). Dampen a makeup sponge in water and dip it in white face paint. Cover your face and neck lightly with white paint to make flesh appear pale and cadaverous.
- 3). Dampen a clean makeup sponge in water and dip it in light blue face paint for a softer look or black face paint for a scarier look. Apply the paint around the eyes to make them look hollow, and at the top of the neck to create a shadow effect. If desired, suck in your cheeks and apply the paint along your cheekbones for a skeletal effect. Blend the black or blue paint into the white paint underneath.
- 4). Apply blue or black face paint to the lips with a small makeup brush. Alternately, you can draw the outlines of individual teeth around your mouth and fill in the outlines with white paint for a skeletal look.
- 5). Apply false eyelashes or outline your eyes with eyeliner or black face paint and draw long eyelashes.
