Elf Makeup

Woodland elven faerie makeup I wore to a festival

First, I put my pointy ear tips on with spirit glue, and put my regular foundation on. Then I added some green to some white face paint and put it around my eyes/cheeks/nose like a mask. I put some heavy brown eyeliner on my eyes and traced over my eyebrows. Then I added the green vines, then the details like the leaves, dots, and things. I made the spiral on my forehead with spirit gum and had my friend cover it with gold glitter, then she blew the excess away (close your eyes, getting glitter in your eyes probably isn't fun). The glitter went a little crazy and a little stuck to some of my face makeup and in my hair, which ended up looking pretty cool. I added a natural shade of lipstick, and Ta-Da! Woodland elf! :)
