Hola Amigas!
This will be the final look of my Halloween Series. I hope you have enjoyed them so far. I love sugar skulls. Some of you may remember the sugar skull I did on myself years ago (pre Adela Told Me) I loved it so much that I decided to re-create it for you.
So grab your maracas and vamonos!
Step 1: Base Color
Apply a white base all over your face. I used NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk. Blend it out with your fingers. We want it just white enough that our skin doesn't show through. I decided to use bright colors for mine. You can use whatever colors you like. Taking a hot pink blush (or eye shadow) and a blush brush, apply a good amount where you'd normally apply bronzer and fill in the hollow area of your face. Also apply this color to your temples. Taking a purple eye shadow and a fluffy brush, apply this above the pink we just applied (where you'd normally contour your cheek bones) bring this color up to the pink on your forehead/temple area. This will add a fun pop of color to your face.
Step 3: Decorating your skull
This is where the fun begins! (As if you weren't having fun already)
At the center of your forehead, draw a spider web and shade it with eye shadows. I chose pink and purple to incorporate the colors from the side of my face. I added a large 3 petal flower on my chin and shaded it in with the blue and green I used around my eyes. Continue adding designs all over your face. I continued doodling around until I ran out of room. I didn't want to crowd my face too much, so remember to draw a design and look in a larger mirror so you can get the full effect.
To complete the look you can curl your hair (if yours is longer than mine), add a veil and some flowers.
I hope you had fun with this look today. Please send me pictures if you try it.
Until next time...
Xoxo,
Adela

Step 2: Eyes
Draw a circle around your entire eye socket with a black liner. Start the circle above your eyebrow and continue around the entire socket. Top with a black shadow and a flat brush. Now we will draw "petals" around our eye socket using a black liquid liner. Fill in the petals with eye shadow (I chose blue and green). I also applied the green shadow all over the lid and under eye area. This added a slight green sheen and sparkle to the black area. Using the same liquid liner, line your upper and lower lash line. Finish with mascara (I planned on putting on falsies but couldn't find them when I did this)

Step 4: Nose and Stitches
Fill in your nose in so it appears hollow. I used a combination of a black pencil and liquid liner.
For "Lipstick" I applied the hot pink blush all over my lips and shaded the inside with the purple shadow. Draw on your exaggerated smile line and stitches with a liquid liner.
Here are some pictures of the sides of my face, I mean, skull.
I really liked the way this turned out. I didn't add any rhinestones or glitter to mine. However, if I were wearing this out, I definitely would have added a ton of sparkles and shine!
