As you all know halloween is next weekend and me and some of my friends have decided to do a halloween home party dresing us up and all of that stuff. I didn't want to spend too much money in a costume which I'm only going to use once so I went for a skeleton. I wanted to do only half of my face and then a full-on black outfit but first I wanted to try the make up to know what to do on saturday (so instead of take an hour and a half while I listen music and sing along, I can be done in less than an hour).

I watched first some youtube videos to inspire me and these ones were the ones which helped me:
- Skeleton make up #1
- Skeleton make up #2
- Skeleton make up #3

And here you have final result:

Sorry I all the pictures are taken in the bathroom but I was sitting on the flor in front of a big mirror with great light.

I you liked it and want to know how to do that look, continue reading.

You will need:

- Face paint in black, white and red colour (whatever you find, don't worry)

- A cheap eye pencil (this was 1€ and it's even waterproof)

- Different makeup brushes

- Black, white and dark brown eyeshadows

Let's begin the make up!

First you take the red paint color and surround the half face you decide to be the skeleton.

Second you make the black lines around your eye, nose, cheek bone and jaw with firstly the eye pencil and then you fill them with the black face paint, but be careful around your eye because if you are like me and wear lenses you don't want anything at all to go inside your eye.

Third you fill everything inside the red mark wich is not black with the white face paint. And insists as much as you need till you hace a very white base.

Fourth with a fluffy brush (the second on the right in the picture above) you put white eyeshadow where is white and then with the same brush you put black eyeshadow on the eye, cheek bone, jaw bone and over the red line where the hair begins so that part have a bit of redness and looks more realistic. Then with a smaller but still fluffy brush (the first on the right and the second on the left) you do the same with the smaller lines. But also don't forget to blur the middle-face red line so it's not that harsh with a flat brush (the one in the middle).

Fifth with the black face paint and a small and thin brush (the first on the left) you make small details as those around the eye and above the lips. And we go back to the eyeshadows! You put the dark brown one around every black line which is limiting with white you have and blend it, but then with a bit of black you repeat the action so it's not so strong the difference

And finally you do the other half of your face as you want it. I went for a black smocky eye and full-on red lipstick, but as I said you decide and I'm sure it will look amazing.
