Hi.
I'm Matt, and I'm
going to walk you
through this Halloween look.
The idea behind the look
is inspired by a zombie,
but it's going to be
something a little bit
different than a traditional
zombie that we're used to.
I'm going to start with the look
by looking back my hair, which
I've already done.
And I'm going to use a white
paint to whiten everything
out and just kind of
bring my hairline back
to get more of that
skull-like look.
[CACKLING]
All right.
Now that we've got
that done, we're
going to go in with a Pro
Longwear Nourishing Waterproof
Foundation a few shades
lighter than my own skin tone.
So just build up the product,
a little bit all over
so you get the coverage
that you're looking for.
And don't forget to bring it
all over your lips as well.
I'm using an eyeshadow that I've
ground up with a mascara wand.
And I'm using the
larger fluffy brush just
to kind of pat
that on to pump up
the intensity of the white skin.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Now, we're going to start
to sketch out the shape
that we're going for.
We're going to go in with
a muted taupey gray shadow,
and use that with a larger
eyeshadow blending brush,
just to kind of buff out
the contours of my face.
Cool.
So we've got the general
shape for the eyes.
Now, we're going to
use the same color,
but with a tighter
contour brush.
I'm going in with that just
underneath the cheekbones
to hollow out the face a bit.
And we're really kind of playing
with positive and negative
space.
You could see by kind
of contouring out
this area and then
the eye socket,
it just really lifts
this and gives more
of that skull-like bone look.
To finish off that skeleton
look, what we're going to do
is do a little bit
of work on the nose.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I'm going to go back
in with that shadow
and just kind of clean up around
the edges of the eye using
the larger brush, so just
really blending out the edges.
So we've got that.
We'll go into the temples a bit.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So although we added
all this matte texture,
and what we're going to
do to bring a little bit
more dimension to the
skin is go in with a bit
of a luminescent eyeshadow
to get really subtle glow.
So I'm going to go in with
an eye shadow that has
a really subtle pearl to it.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
One of the interesting
things about this look
is the contrast between
all the white and what
we're going to do next, which is
a pretty dramatic pop of color.
Like I was saying,
I think that's what
makes this so interesting is
that there's nothing geometric.
There's nothing perfect.
Everything is very fusing
and really organic.
Pat on a bit right in
the center of the lip.
Let's do the liner.
So I'm going to use a gel liner
with a pretty large eyeshadow
brush.
Use that to really sculpt out
the face and make everything
look really sunken
and really deep.
Keep it really blown out.
Keep your brush strokes visible,
and just kind of pack on,
but still let a little bit
of that gray shadow poke
through around the edges.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Now, when you think of a
classic skeleton face paint job,
you always think about the
dark eyes and the dark nose.
We're going to do the
same kind of thing,
but we're going
to keep it really,
a generalized idea of that.
So focus on almost creating,
like, a circle right on the tip
of your nose.
And then using the
tip of your brush,
just kind of sweep up two lines.
Do the same on the
lips, and almost focus
on slashing your lips.
You want to bring a bit of
the black through the center,
overlapping the
pink, but bringing it
way past the other corner
of your lip as well.
The main element
of this Halloween
look that kind of sets it
apart from other zombie looks
is that there's a really strong
kind of like a veiny vascular
element to it.
And what we're going
to do to achieve
that is drag a liquid
liner up and down the face,
kind of focusing on
keeping it coming out
of the nose and mouth.
So really, you could
keep going forever,
and you could add as
many lines as you want,
but I think I'm happy with this.
It's kind of spooky.
[CACKLING]
So Halloween's all about
having fun and doing
things that maybe push
your personal boundaries
a little bit.
Throw on something that
makes you comfortable
and maybe a few things that
make you a little uncomfortable.
And by the end of
the night, you're
going to be having a good time.
Happy Halloween.
