💀 Want a simple and striking Halloween look? With my affordable Skeleton Kit, you get everything you need (paints, brush, sponges) plus this step-by-step tutorial. Results guaranteed!
Start by outlining the skull with your brush and the white paint. 💧 Dampen your brush to activate the paint until you get a creamy texture.
Use your child's face as a guide to place your lines:
Using your slightly damp sponge, fill in the inside of the skull with white.
💡 Test on your hand first: the texture should be creamy, neither too dry nor too runny.
With the black paint, outline the skull and the eye sockets. 👉 Add a small point at the corners of the eyes to make it look even spookier.
💡 Tip: always hold your brush perpendicular to the face for crisp lines, and vary the pressure: the harder you press, the thicker the line.
Fill in the eye sockets with black, using a brush or a sponge, whichever you prefer. Slightly dampen your brush before activating the paint for full coverage.
For the skeleton's nose, paint two points from the bottom up, like a plane taking off ✈️ Practice on your arm first if needed.
For the teeth, place your brush perpendicular to the upper lip and make a small, quick upward stroke. Repeat to create a nice row of spooky teeth.
You can stop here… or take it further by adding cracks and shading for more depth.
👉 Shading technique: pick up a tiny bit of black on your damp brush, wipe off the excess on a paper towel, then apply with light dabs. The effect should look like soft powder.
Areas to shade:
First, massage the makeup with a makeup removing balm or a little oil (coconut, olive…), then wipe it off with a cotton pad or microfiber cloth and lukewarm water. If a few traces remain, simply repeat.
