To do Day of the Dead makeup, you can follow these general steps:
- Wash, moisturize, and prime your face.
- Apply a white base to your whole face using water-based theatrical makeup or white Kabuki makeup. Avoid using anything grease-based like clown paint from the Halloween store.
- Use a sponge or brush to apply the makeup to your whole face, avoiding the area around your eyes. Apply the makeup from the top of your forehead just below the hairline to the sides of your face at the edge of your ear and around your jawline just under the chin. You may need to apply multiple coats so your face is covered completely.
- Use black eyeliner or black face paint to create the skulls nose, eye sockets, and teeth. You can also add colorful designs and patterns to the skull using other colors of face paint.
- Finish the look with black lipstick or other dark lip colors.
