Tips for Applying Skull Halloween Makeup

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Matt Cail and on behalf of expertvillage.com I'm here today to talk about skeleton makeup. We started off using the bigger sponge but when you start getting to more of the detailed work we switched to a smaller one. It is the same effect but it allows you to do much more fine tune makeup. So examine here above the area, the top of the nose we can get in here in a way which the big sponge will not be able to, to finish our coat. We are done with the white here we should have a relatively solid of white covering all the areas of what we have drawn. Notice we have covered up some of the black lines slightly this is fine. We are going to be drawing them back in here in a little bit and as long as we know where they are we would be able to later trace them. As you apply this first layer of makeup something else to keep in mind is wrinkles. When wrinkles happen you can see there they leave lines and when that happens you need to be sure that you have been filling those in with makeup. They don't need a lot more you don't want it to be overall obvious or even worst draw attention but they should have a nice coating on them to deemphasis them and they should be solid as the rest of the face."
