Backstage

Here is a proposal to make up for Carnival: fatal beauty!

As you can see from the photos, it's a trick asymmetric, where the right side of the face was made up with make-up rather marked beuaty, accentuating the light and shade of makeup on the eyelids and under the cheekbones, I realized while on the left face-painting of a skull with colored water.
Before you begin face painting, I covered the eyebrow with soap, to do it then disappeared under makeup.
To draw the skull I was inspired by a couple of pictures downloaded from the Internet (specifically from wikipedia, that).

The realization of face painting:

With the black color and a thin brush I have updated the guidelines that define eye, nose, mandible and maxilla, and the various teeth, helping with the feel and trying to follow the underlying bone.
Then I mixed white, yellow and a touch of black, for the typical color of the bones, preferring a shade a little’ darker, so that we can build on later, and chiaroscuro shadings.
I colored with white teeth, and nose, eye and the inner side of the square jaw with black, I also used to mark the boundary face.
Finally I created using the black shades and a big brush and almost dry, bringing into the dark inner points and using the white to create fake reflections (For example, on the forehead, cheekbone and the center of the nose) in the most obvious; and I added some detail with the brush nice and simple (a crack on the nose and under the eye).

Ok, perhaps a little’ scary.. Here it is !

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 ! =)
