Broken Doll for Halloween

79 Comment

A little bit fiddly, but the end result is pretty cool.

Material

1 White face paint
1 Black eye liner
2 Eye shadows (which ever colours you like)
1 Red lipstick

Method

Put a light coating of white face paint over entire face, covering eye brows and lips and blending down onto neck.
EYES: Draw new eye brows with black eyeliner (about 1 cm above where eyebrows are covered), draw line along egde of top lid flicking out at edges, then draw semi-circle under eyes with eyeliner and draw eyelashes under semi-circles. Apply 2 colours of eyeshadow (one over entire eyelid, the other apply up to fake eyebrow line). Lastly fill in semi-circle with thicker application of white face paint. Touch up eyeliner if needed.
CHEEKS: Use lipstick (I used the pink eyeshadow I used on eyes) to draw a circle on each cheek then blend with fingertips
MOUTH: Draw heart shape on centre of lips with red lipstick, then using eyeliner, draw lines from corners of mouth to look like stitch lines (by adding smaller lines to cross the lines just drawn.

Notes

The costume was relatively cheap the only thing I actually had to purchase was the top and the socks. The skirts was made from a netting skirt and a skirt from a previous costume. The pink on top of skirt was tulle strips attached to a piece of elastic and the belt was one of mine that I made shorter.

Thanks for the instructions. I’ve never been brave enough to give face painting/ theatrical makeup a go.

Hopefullyheide, I am by no means used to doing face paint, this was my second attempt at doing this sort of face paint, we tried it another day before she had to wear it to school, it seems a bit fiddly when reading the list of steps, but it was actually quite easy to do. The thing I had the most trouble with was having a steady hand.
