Hey guys!
So I thought I'd do a little tutorial for a cheap and easy halloween costume: Pop art make-up! You don't need to spend loads of money on a costume, just a little creativity and time!
What you'll need:
- black face paint or lots of liquid eye liner.
- Red face paint
- Bright eyeshadow
- white face paint.
- extra: paper and colouring pens for accessories like the bow.
Steps:
- After putting your foundation on as per usual, paint in these areas: the outline of your face shape, your eyebrows, cheekbones, around your nose, and a line directly down your nose.
2. Using a bright coloured eye shadow, colour your eyelids dramatically. I used purple, but most colours work well. Then using the black face paint, draw a line around the eyeshadow and add a winged eye-line effect.
3. Paint in the red dots using the end of a paintbrush and the red face paint. Cover the whole of your face and if you want, your neck and chest as well.
4. I left the lips till last as they needed the most repainting. I used a bright pink lipstick and then drew around the shape of my lips using the liquid eye liner. I then added a small bit of white face paint in the corner.
Props:
To really add a pop art effect, you could make props out of photo paper and colouring pens. I drew a bow and later attached it with a hair grip and cello tape. You could also make speech bubble signs to hold up saying things like 'POW!' 'BOOM!'. Below is some actual pop art for inspiration:
