How to create a Low-key Halloween Skull Makeup Look?


1. Start your Halloween Skull makeup by applying primer and foundation all over your face and neck. Primer will make your makeup last all night long and foundation will even out your skin tone and hide imperfections. Then use a white eye pencil to sketch the shape and the size of the skull. Don't worry about the mess while drawing, you can always clean the edges of the drawing with a cotton swab.

2. Continue sketching the skull, draw eye sockets around your eyes, and try to make them symmetrical and even. As for the nose, draw a beautiful upside-down heart on the nasal bone and draw the lines on the lips to imitate the teeth. Start to fill in the sketch with a white crease paint or white full-coverage concealer.

3. Finish to fill the skull and don't forget to set the paint with white translucent powder or the paint will smudge later. Outline the skull shape with black cream or gel eyeliner. It is best to use a fine synthetic brush and waterproof makeup product for this step. And the minimalist look for Halloween is done. Easy and beautiful!

I'll be honest with you guys, I had so much fun creating this minimalist Halloween look. It is definitely an awesome last-minute makeup variant for those who are in hurry. It is very easy and fast to make it and you don't need a lot of extra makeup products to draw this skull. Please let me know in the comments if you liked this makeup tutorial.
