by Stefano on Mar.03, 2011, during Body Painting, Events, Make Up
Republish this old guide on how to make a nice makeup feline, always in vogue for those who want to deal with a little carnival’ of joy. E’ You can also change the colors proposed (blue and blue, Pink and rosso) to give the mask a touch of originality !
First of all applied with a sponge, a white light enough on the face (I used the acquacolor) , including the eye, and softening the neck. Then start drawing with the black nose cone, as shown, about respecting the limits given by the vertical line of the eyes and ears of the mid face (red lines).
The mark must be decisive and firm, starting off from the edges of the mouth to get thin and faded face up to the half way line.
E’ important to taking a nose-shaped inverted triangle, the upper lip and a double curve, typical facial feline. In the rest of the face I made a trick based on triangles and curves, to remember a bit’ the stripes of the coat brindle.
In this case, to remember the effect of the hair, I left the poorly defined bodi, created with many small irregular pennellatine.
Finally I marked with a white nose and chin more cargo, I called contornadoli black eyes and stretching a bit’ out, and I scored a mustache with many small dots blacks.
Another effect you can give with sponge (little!) gray / black part of the face remained between the white stripes; This will help to create chiaroscuro effects and make the most basic trick of living.
Accessories such as ear, vampire teeth and colored contact lenses with the eye of the cat will make the mask even more attractive ! =)
