Halloween - Creepy Jack Skellington

Hey guys,

and a very spooky greating in this spine-chilling month of october.

I'm sorry it took so long, but I was ill the whole last week.
I thought because Halloween is coming up I would do something more fitting for this time of year, so I will do a  Halloween inspired look for you.

I decided on a creppy version of Jack Skellington  fromTim Burton's movie 'Nightmare before Christmas'.

First I used my kryolan clown white and a damp make-up sponge to paint my friends face. You should only apply it down to your chin, but not on your neck .

Than I took my white make-up powder from Kryolan and powdered the face to make the foundation stay. For this I used a kabuki brush from Ebelin.

For the rest of this look I used my black Grimas water make-up in 101.

The next thing I did is to paint the eyes. Normally this look would be a closed eyes make-up, but you can use normal black contacts or even black scalera lenses to complete the look and it will still look really cool. 

So onto the eyes. First I traced the shape of Jacks eyes, from about 1 cm under the eyes up to about 2 cm above the outer corner of the eyebrows at the highest point. You should have a reference picture of Jack so you can match his eyeform.

I used an angled brush from Primarks "P.S. Love" set to draw the shape of the eyes. Than I used my little foundation brush from Ebelin to fill in the shape I just drew.

After this I took the colour that was still on the brush an I painted some lines from the highest part of the eyes up to the hairline. Later the lines will be blended out, just to give the face some more shape and somewhat of a sceletal look. I also took some more paint and the same angled brush and drew on the shape of the nose and the line where the mouth would be.

Than I coloured in the nose and drew the shape of the teeth on the "mouthline". Here you can decide whether you want to go for the normal Jack look or for the creepy Jack. For the normal look just paint your lips black and than make short vertical lines on your lips and the "mouthline" you just applied.
if you want the creepy look apply real sharp looking teeth on your mouth and your "mouthline".

You see that I didn't apply the teeth all over the line, because I didn't like how it looked, but if you want to you can paint more teeth.  After this I enlongated the teeth by drawing on some crack like lines on the highest points of the teeth.

Than I blended out all the lines on the face and also applied a few more, on the cheeks, the chin and between the teeth, just to give the face a bit more dimension.

The last part of this make-up is to look where your costume begins and than paint a bone structure from the beginning of your throat down to your costume. For this I used my little foundation brush from Ebelin and my grimas white water make-up.

The next thing you want to do is paint the downside of your jaw in black and than colour in the rest of your neck around your bone structure.

Take some mascara (which i totally forgot) and aplly it on your lashes, than you are finished. ^^

I hope you like this look and maybe try it out yourself. I will be posting at least two make-up looks before Halloween. The next look will be Emelie from "Corpse Bride". If you have any wishes than maybe leave a comment.

The last thing I have to do is thank my dear friend who posed as my model. She has a blog herself with photography and is pretty amazing if I may say so. http://klebezettelphotography.blogspot.de/

Bye guys and a wonderfull spooky weekend!
