Make Up Mask

Create a unique mask using only make-up

It's quite easy as the mask is made through your own imagination. You can be as accurate, messy, colourful, precise, exact, flamboyant, etc. as you like! I chose a colourful option which is quite fairy-like. I didn't do this for any particular occasion, only extreme boredom ;) If I had done it for a particular occasion I would have been much more precise with the liquid eyeliner pen. Speaking of the liquid eyeliner pen; you can make the lines as thick or as thin as you want. While I was drawing it on I had the idea that I could have even done the outside lines of the mask darker and thicker than the inside lines to give it more of a mask-like impression. Remember to take your time. You could even draw something out ahead of time on a piece of paper or use something as a reference before you start drawing. And hey, if you mess up, the easiest thing to use is a q-tip and your spit to correct the mistakes. If it's too messed up and you need to start over just use make-up remover - or in my case use Clean & Clear make-up dissolving foam cleanser! This is definitely a project I will post more different styles of in the future. Happy drawing! Lets see your own versions!

You will need

NYX brand Eyeshadow in the colour 'Extreme Apricot'. This was the red used on the mask. Alice in Wonderland Eyeshadow colour in 'White Rabbit'. This is the white I used to colour in the mask everywhere there isnt already colour. Its quite shimmery. I also used it on my lips. Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Eye Shadow . I have the Alice in Wonderland box set of eyeshadow by Urban decay. I used the colour 'Absolem' which is the green on my forehead and on my cheekbones. Black Liquid Eyeliner . I used the eye liner pen, not the brush. It's extremely simple to use this way and great with detail. I used an Urban Decay brand Eyeliner Pencil in the colour 'Flipside'. This is the blue/teal colour around my eyes and on my forehead. Maybelline Mineral Powder Makeup was applied all over my face as a base to make applying the make-up easier and give my skin a soft smooth look. Clean & Clear Make-Up Dissolving Foam Cleanser . To remove the mask after you are finished. Or to apply a tiny amount to a q-tip to make a correction. If not then spit works just as well on a q-tip to fix any little mistakes made while drawing!
