Literally.
In order to get Day of the Dead-ready, we asked Mehron Makeup to transform Boehm one brush stroke at a time.
Watch the video to see her sugar skull makeover, and follow along with the directions below for your own Halloween look.
Instructions
Step 1
Add depth and dimension to the face by shading with a deep purple face paint followed by a lighter purple around the perimeter of the face, the hollows of the cheeks and around the mouth.
Blend out the edges of the contours, and intensify the highlighted areas with a yellow face paint.
Step 2
Create eye circles using a wet brush in orange. Intensify inner corners, and crease with a deeper orange. Define the eye with the deep purple set with black.
Step 3
Color in your inner lips with black face paint, and blend out with the deep purple. Use a damp fine-detail brush in black to draw mouth stitches.
Smudge and create dimension with a bright purple pressed powder. Use the same detail brush to draw facial detailing on the cheeks and forehead.
Step 4
Add latex-free adhesive, and place crystals around the eye circles to create dimension.
