What you'll need
White,red,black face paint
Black eye/gel liner
Fake blood
Make up applicator
blue eye shadow
light pink blush
White eye liner pencil
Make up brushes to draw lines and smoke out makeup



Completely cover your face and down your neck with white face paint. Taking your eyeliner trace along your water line and with liner or gel liner cover your entire lid.Taking your brush smoke out the eye liner up to the highlight section just bellow your eye brow and around your eye. Taking your eye liner pencil draw two long triangle like shapes pointing up and down each eye (example on the left eye draw a long triangle on the outer edge of the eye facing down and shorter but still long triangle going up at the tear duct side of the eye) filling in the triangles with black gel/eye liner. Draw dark expressive eye brows over your existing eye brows. With your shadow brush create demention around your eye with your blue eye shadow.  Taking your eye liner draw the outline of a very large Clown like mouth outline. Taking your eye liner or gel liner draw jagged diamond like teeth over your lips (but not excluded to just your lips) fill in your human lips around your drawn teeth with black paint or gel liner. taking white paint or white eye liner fill in the painted teeth to make them really pop. Fill in your new drawn lips with red face paint. Taking black face paint create shadows on your lips for dimension. With your liner draw a circle around the tip of your nose filling it in with red face makeup(if you don't have red face makeup use red lipstick) Taking your eye liner create expressive lines over your face to create the permanent expression you want.  Add blush to cheeks and fake blood along the bottom of your eyes like your crying blood. Like I always say make it your own.
Example: with eye liner create the desired shape you would like your eye make up to take and fill in as desired.


As with the elegant mask tutorial place a stencil,lace or anything with decorative holes against your face and brush over with eye shadows or makeup along your temples, forehead or cheeks. Make it yours enjoy

Elegant Party Mask without the discomfort

What you will need
Black or desired color rhinestones
Lash glue
False eye lashes
Black lipstick
Black eye liner
Black eye shadow
Desired color of dazzle dust
Thin eye shadow brush


Taking your eye liner draw the desired shape of a mask you would like to wear on your face or if needed get someone to help you with this. Taking your black lipstick fill in the mask completely leaving of course the eye holes untouched.("The eye holes were my idea" desert star's playhouse Zorro quote for the fam) and go over your mask with black eye shadow. Taking your black eye liner go back over and define the mask again for clean crisp lines. Apply eye liner if your mask is a cat eye like shape creating an angled eye is recommended and like wise a circle eye hole is great with a natural eye liner look. Apply eye liner to your water line or lower lash line and if desired create small lash strokes with your liner to extend your bottom lashes to make your eyes pop. Apply your false eye lashes if they are new gently bend them around a bit so that they will adapt to your eye shape. Taking your dazzle dust or pigment and create desired designs on your mask you can create a mirror effect or your own design on either side of your mask its up to you. Taking the back of your eye shadow brush apply small dots of Lash glue to your skin just out side your mask around your mask I recommend doing 5 dots at a time and then applying the rhinestones or your glue may dry before you are done. Once you have bordered your mask with the rhinestones your finished. Like I always say make it your own it doesn't have to be black add the rhinestones atop your mask. Another fun trick for face painting is to lay a some lace or any textured or cut out shape and lay it securely on your face and paint or dazzle over that onto your skin or painted skin. Feathers like the picture just bellow can be purchased I believe i got mine at Micheal's crafts and added to a mask for a lovely addition  just have fun and enjoy.

With eye lash glue over entire nail attach the nail to your finger lining it up as if it were your own and press down hard insuring it sticks. Pressing down and pulling apart the cotton ball on remaining side to create texture (to the real nail side). With your make-up brush apply the blood red lipstick to your remaining cotton covered nail side trying to get it just a bit under the false nail dabbing it along the cuticle and rubbing it in to create a redness and "irritation" to it. Taking your eyelash brush again to your black lipstick and dab it along the cuticle for a dried blood look. Rip the remaining piece of your false nail in half width wise. Pressing again pieces of cotton ball for that textured look on your lipstick nail side. Taking the bottom broken piece apply eyelash glue and attach it to your finger along the cuticle attaching the bottom but insuring the top is lifted just a bit off the nail. Apply nail glue on top of this last nail along the cuticle to secure the hold. Taking your food coloring or fake blood drip it down into the raised nail and along the just glued line atop the last nail making it look really gory and bloody.

A request

 
I have received a few requests for this Kim Kardashian hairstyle.


What you will need

Brush, comb

A long ribbon, scarf

Small hair elastic hair color, ribbon color, or clear

Hair clip

I have broken it down into 3 versions depending on what fits you and your style/abilities

1. The ribbon should be a couple inches longer than your hair when braided it will shrink once hairstyle is complete you can trim the ribbon. Create a part down the center of your head and fold ribbon in half to find its center. Place the center of the ribbon at the top part of your head as if it were a headband. Pin the Ribbon or scarf to the left side part and take a section of hair on the right side of your part from about the brow arch and back about a pinky length back. Split the hair in half laying the ribbon down the center and begin braiding using the ribbon as the third strand. Once you've reached the end tie off with a small elastic, trim away any extra ribbon length insuring not to cut the hair. Repeat the section on the left side insuring the section is exactly the same as the right. Repeat the braid on the right side. This is a boho look so don’t worry about the remaining hair looking perfect allows it to fall naturally.


If you struggle with the ribbon here is an alternative way to achieve this hairstyle. 


2.  The ribbon should be a few inches longer than your hair when braided it will shrink once hairstyle is complete you can trim the ribbon Create a part down the center of your head, take a section of hair on the right side of your part. From about the brow arch and back about a pinky length back and tie off with a small elastic to create a pony tail. Repeat the section on the left side insuring the section is exactly the same as the right. Fold ribbon in half to find its center. Place the center of the ribbon at the top part of your head as if it were a headband tie a knot around the left ponytail with the ribbon insuring that the ribbon across the head does not twist. Using the ribbon as one of the three strands braid the left ponytail and tie off at the end with elastic. Tie the ribbon around the right ponytail and repeat the braid on the right side. This is a boho look so don’t worry about the remaining hair looking perfect allows it to fall naturally.

3. This last version is for the more "princess" look perfect for Halloween just around the corner. A thicker ribbon or scarf is better for this style but a thin ribbon can be used. The scarf should be a couple inches longer than your hair when wrapped it will shrink a bit once hairstyle is complete. Create a part down the center of your head and fold scarf in half to find its center. Place the center of the scarf at the top part of your head as if it were a headband. Tie the right side of the scarf to your hair with an elastic, On the left side part and take a section of hair on the right side of your part from about the brow arch and back about a pinky length back. Split the hair in half laying the scarf down the center wrap the front section back around the scarf and bringing it back around to the front. at this point cross your hair over the scarf forming an X bring it behind the scarf and for another X. continue this all the way down to the ends and tie off with an elastic. Releasing hair on the right side Repeat what you just did with the left. Now at this point you can leave down or if you want a softer more out of the way princess look bring the scarf ends together gently in the back and tie off bobby pinning in place where you want the ribbon to rest along your head for a softer lower draping or a tighter higher look.
