Adding Black to Eyes for Mummy Makeup

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm here today to show you how to put together a mummy costume. Next we are going to add in some black and more of grey blended shading from the black. And I am going to start in the mouth area. What are we going to do here? We are basically going to working up from the mouth we are going to start in and kind of like this mixing the existing colors so it is going to be kind of like this grey brown green. Depending again on the local shade in your bi. And we are going to extend up these black lines. What is this doing? It basically will give an impact of the mouth going inward as if this again looking like a corpse not a person. Do this all around the mouth above and bottom. Taking down the lines like so and blending all the way across the lips. We are also going to add black up here underneath the eyes. Like a lot of more ghoulish creatures out there we want the eyes to appear more sunken. And without the black they just don't. This will give out a lot more shading and impact to the eyes than it would otherwise. They will also stand out more in the wrapping. So keep that in mind as you are blending. We don't want any solid blacks. We just want to get more of a neutral grey which will still stand out on the rest of the face."
