Hi guys!
Today's tutorial is one of my all-time favorite
Halloween characters,
Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Starting with a clean face, I'm going to put
in contacts to get black eyes like Sally's.
Obviously, this effect works better on dark
eyes, but this is about as close as I'm going to get.
For this look, I'm going to skip my usual
steps of concealer, foundation, and powder,
and go straight to my eyes.
So first I'm going to prep them with an eyeshadow
primer.
Then I'm going to add light blue eyeshadow
all over my lids up to my brow bone.
Sally has dark shadows around her eyes, so
I'm going to take a dark blue eyeshadow
and fill in my crease and down onto my lids.
Here I'm using my light blue eyeshadow brush
again to blend the colors just a little bit.
While you want to blend, you still want to
have a pretty distinct dark blue line across
your eye.
Now I'm using the same dark blue color on
a small brush to create the shadow that Sally
has under her eyes.
Continuing on, I'm going to use the same dark
blue eyeshadow to fill in my eyebrows.
It's okay if you have a lot of blue color
fallout around your eyes and on your cheeks,
because we are going to be painting our faces
blue anyway,
so try not to worry about that too much.
Next I'm going to use white eyeshadow to add
a highlight to the inner corners of my eyes
and the center of my eyelids.
Of course, you guys know I am a sucker for
black eyeliner.
Here I am drawing a clean, thick black line
across my eyes.
Next, I'll use a white eyeliner pencil on
my waterline to give the illusion of bigger eyes.
I know my eyes are already pretty big, but
Sally's eyes are super big!
Then curl your lashes to make sure they look
extra good.
Now it's time for black mascara.
Work your mascara into your lashes with a
little swively, back and forth kind of motion
from the root up.
Sally's lashes are really dramatic and kind
of spidery looking,
so I'm going to use Dolluxe number one, Lashing
Out Loud.
After applying lash glue to the band, wait
about 20-30 seconds,
or until the glue gets tacky,
and then apply as close to your lash line
as possible.
Now it's time to start on Sally's light blue
skin tone.
I'm going to match her tone by mixing three
colors- white, blue, and green.
These cream makeup tubes are about three dollars
on CostumeSupercenter.com.
Starting with white, mix in the blue and green
until you get a color that you like for Sally's skin.
Using a foundation brush, apply your mixture
evenly across your face, neck, and chest.
Once the first coat dries, you can apply a
second coat for full coverage.
If you try to apply the second coat before
the first coat is fully dry, you'll probably
just end up smearing the first coat,
so be patient and allow yourself enough time
to allow yourself enough time to complete
the full application.
Once your makeup is dry, you're going to want
to use a high definition loose powder to seal
your makeup in place.
When applying the powder, you want to use
a light tapping kind of motion instead of
a swipey motion,
because you don't want to risk wiping your
makeup off.
Now I'm just going in to kind of touch up
my eyes
and make the transition between eyeshadow
and cream makeup a little smoother.
Now I'm going to use a dark blue eyeshadow
to contour everywhere.
I'm going to be contouring my cheeks, my temples,
forehead, under my chin, my collarbones,
and right on my chest where Sally's stitches
are.
I'm going to use a black liquid eyeliner to
draw the stitches.
I'm using a different liquid liner for this
than my every day eyeliner,
because sometimes when drawing the stitches,
you can get a little bit of the cream makeup
on the tip of your brush,
and that's just something I would rather not
do with my every day eyeliner.
When drawing your stitches, you should reference
a picture of Sally,
just to make sure that all of your stitches
are in the right place.
Now the key to making the stitches look awesome
is the highlighting.
I'm just going to use the same white cream
makeup that I used earlier to mix my skin tone
on a little tiny brush
and just draw a line over every single stitch.
It does not have to be perfect at all.
The whole point of Sally is that she's a little
Frankenstein monster,
so it is totally okay if your lines aren't
perfect.
Sally has really dark lips.
Sometimes they look black. Sometimes they
look red.
Sometimes they're a mix of the two.
So I'm going to do a black and red ombre lip
for this look.
Using a black lip liner, I am going to line
my lips and then color in the corners with the black.
And then I will use a bright red lip color
to fill in the rest of my lips.
And you just want to blend it with the black
as much as you can.
You can use leftover cream makeup on a small
brush to fill in around your lips,
kind of like you would with concealer and
regular lip stick.
Now it's time to get Sally's red hair.
My Sally dress is from CostumeSupercenter.com
and it came with a red wig.
The wig is kind of like yarn looking and I
wanted to go with a more realistic hair texture,
so I'm going to be using a wig from Cosplay
Wigs USA.
It is their 70 cm straight wig in true red.
It is so pretty and soft.
I am completely obsessed with it.
The dress also came with these little glovelet
things,
which is great if you don't want to or don't
have time to paint your arms.
If you are going to wear the gloves, you should
try to match your paint color that you're mixing
at the beginning with the gloves,
so that your face and your arms will match.
But for the sake of this tutorial, I am going
to paint my arms blue.
I was actually really impressed by the coverage
of this cream makeup.
It only took me two coats to completely cover
my tattoo,
which was pretty surprising to me.
I liked keeping my arms streaky because I
thought it looked very "Sally"
but if you wanted a more solid blue color,
you could just continue to blend the paint
more before you put it on.
Painting the stitches on the arms is pretty
much like the face and chest,
except here I'm using a gel eyeliner on a
brush just to make the lines thicker.
If this application looks super awkward, it
is because I am actually left handed,
but I wanted to use my tattoo arm as a demo
for coverage.
The most important thing about painting your
body with cream makeup
is allowing time for it to dry.
I made a huge mess in my house because I just
didn't have enough time.
But it is very easy to clean up,
especially with this combination of base coat,
color, and top coat polishes from Madam Glam.
All it takes is a little bit of water on a
Q-Tip to wipe away the makeup
and showcase Sally's awesome red nails.
And now, we have a complete Sally transformation.
Let's go to Halloween Town.
