Halloween Skull Inspired Tutorial

Hi Everyone! Halloween is quickly approaching, making this the perfect time to share my Halloween Skull Inspired Look Tutorial. Halloween is not my favorite holiday, therefore spending extra money on a costume doesn’t appeal to me. My sister happens to be a total Halloween fanatic, and is having a party this year. Hence, a costume idea was necessary.

I wanted to create an quick and easy look, that did not require spending any extra money on a Halloween costume. This Halloween Skull Look does not require spending a penny! You can use the makeup in your Vanity to create this look.

Here are a list of necessary products. Feel free to use the ones I recommend, or your own. Truly make this your Halloween look and enjoy the fun! If you do choose to go out and buy some new products, I’ll list some in my affiliate links below. Also, consider signing up for eBates (HERE).

Face Steps:

1. With your bronzer and brush, contour your face
   • Cheeks, temples, nose, forehead, jaw line, and on the bones of your face next to your brows/upper nose
2. Taking a thin brush, apply the black eye shadow in the hallows of your face (cheeks, temples, nose, forehead, jaw line, and next to your brows)
3. Blend it out using your bronzer on the same bronzer brush you used earlier
4. Taking the same bronzer brush, dip into a dark purple color

Lips Steps:

1. Take the Maybelline Concealer Stick (used previously as an eyelid primer) and coat your lips
2. Use a sponge or Beauty Blender to blend in the product
   • Like THESE
3. Using black lip liner, begin to create the stitches. Starting in the center of your lips, line above the lips and into the opening of your mouth (don’t actually go into the opening!)
   • Feel free to substitute black lip liner with black eye liner, either way works!
   • I used the NYX black lip liner HERE
4. Take the line out to the side of your cheeks, about half way
