How to Apply Pirate Makeup
Apply pirate makeup to complete a pirate costume. A pirate spends hours at sea, in the sun and the cosmetics you choose should reflect that. A pirate spends time outside, developing a natural glow and bronzed cheeks. The pirate also likes to collect riches. Enhance the look by using the liquid adhesive called spirit gum to apply a fake mustache or a braid on the chin to look like Jack Sparrow.

1
Draw a light line in the shape of an eye patch around one eye, without getting too close to the eye itself. Continue the line from the eye to the temple. Draw a second line from the top of the eye patch shape across the forehead, angled up. Use a real eye patch as a guide and outline it.

2
Apply adhesive gum to a few spots on the drawn eye patch. Pick up a rhinestone or sequin with the tweezers and place it on the spirit gum. Continue applying the spirit gum and the rhinestones until they form the complete outline of a pirate patch. Now you can be a sexy pirate with a patch and you will still be able to see where you are walking or driving.

3
Smooth a metallic eye shadow of your choice to the eyelid. Blend it over the crease of the eye. This will create a dramatic, night time took for the pirate make up. Use a natural brown eyeliner to lightly line the upper eyelid.

4
Apply a shiny lipstick to the lips. Or use a favorite lipstick color and add some lip gloss or lip shine.

5
Brush the entire face with face bronzing powder. Pay special attention to adding extra brush strokes to the cheek bones and the jaw line. The bronze powder creates a sun-lit glow. Dust some bronze powder on the neck and the bosom as well.
