Ghost of Christmas Present: Christmas Sugar Skull

Hello lovely people and welcome to a long overdue blog! It is as we all know Holiday season and times are quite hectic, so I would like to share something a bit fun with you.
So Falalala la lets get started!


Starting by plotting out the design with a white eyeliner pencil making a poinsettia shape around one eye and a circle around the other. Outline a pine tree covering the entire nose and then the teeth around the mouth.
Fill in around all of your outlines with white fave paint.
Fill in the center leaves of the poinsettia with red face paint.
 Add a white base to the entire upper and lower eyelid. Smudge a dark green shadow onto the upper and lower lash lines. start to blend up to the red with a lighter green and blend evenly between the dark green shadow and red paint. Now just add a very teeny tiny Tim amount of red eyeshadow around the outer edge of the green.
 Add the rest of the leaves in red paint and then add the green. This is a bit harder because you will loose the clear view of the outlines. Do your best to fill in around each leaf with a darker red shade making sure to go darker, even using black to shade around the outer most leaves. To add more depth, highlight the center most leaves and add in the creases with a deep red shadow. Repeat the same with the green leaves.
 For the other eye, I kept it simple by starting with the white base again to help the color pop. Start by outlining the circle with a dark green shadow then press a vibrant red shadow on the upper and lower lids. now blend blend blend upwards. Add a green shadow around the edges and then more BLENDING!!! Blend the red and green shadows together very gently with a fluffy brush.

Paint in your tree.
and then outline your "teeth" with red.
Contour the cheekbones with a red shadow.
 Start to add in some fun wintery designs around the face! I kind of failed at the snowflake on my forehead, but we all can't be perfect... sigh. Haha. I also shaded one side of my nose tree and applied some lip gloss and glitter to my teeth!
 And YOU'RE DONE!

 Thank you guys SO SO much from the bottom of my heart for reading! I hope you enjoyed this fun and festive look. I will be posting some holiday party looks tomorrow as well! Feel free to let me know what you think, and have a happy and safe holiday!
SO MUCH &> Chelcey
