Halloween - Day of the Dead

For the halloween festivities, we were given a photograph of a day of the dead makeup and were told to be creative but include key day of the dead makeup features to our model. I decided on using black, red and white for mine and concentrated most on the eye area as this is one of the main key areas when doing a day of the dead makeup. For the lips I used red and black again but used the black to create 'teeth like' lines. For the nose I made what should be a bone shape into a heart to add femininity. Contouring the cheekbones with a black eyeshadow really gave them dimension and finished off the look and I had so much fun creating it! If I had more time to perfect the look I would have been happier but in the 25 minutes I had I'm happy with the result. I need to work on my precision around the eye however as it looks quite messy and that would show up on camera so that's a skull I will have to keep on practising!
