Corpse Bride Face Painting Tutorial

Corpse Bride Make Up instructions

Here’s a cute Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride makeup look just in time for Halloween! This face painting example is quite involved but the results are worth it.

The Corpse Bride is a lovely Halloween costume and makeup idea for women and teens as well as for younger girls. She is just the right combination of prettiness and creepiness for those of us who want to look cute but still enter into the spirit of a horrible Halloween.

My face painting example below is mostly a combination of a couple of Corpse Bride makeup tutorial videos. I’ll share those further down. Some of the Corpse Bride face paint tutorials put a lot of effort into creating authentic cheek detail to match the Tim Burton Corpse Bride. That is fine if you have a steady hand and plenty of time to spare, and you can see an example in the first makeup video. But for newer face painters and those of you creating this on a not-too-patient friend or child, I recommend keeping it simple. In my face painting instructions I’ve used a similar detail to the one from the child Corpse Bride video instead.

How to do Cute Ghost Makeup for Girls and Women

Cute ghost makeup tutorial

So, you want to be a cute Halloween ghost? Well, this ghost makeup tutorial will help you to be the hottest ghost in town!

Just like with our cute Zombie girl makeup, there is no reason why a ghost can’t be cute. Kids look adorable with white faces but it isn’t exactly the most imaginative of Halloween face painting designs. After all, older kids and adults don’t want their friends to say, “Well, you didn’t try very hard”.

With this ghost face paint, that is not going to happen. This is the perfect ghost make up for teen girls and for women, which gives you a spooky but sophisticated look. Yes, not only will you look like a ghost, but you will look gorgeous at the same time. Problem solved!

If anyone looking for a ghost face painting for guys is reading, stay with me. Take a look at the below step by step ghost makeup tutorial (tip: if talking to your son, call it “ghost face paint” and not “makeup”!) and you will see that if you stop short of adding lipstick, mascara and eyebrow pencil you will have a ghost design that is great for guys. As with all these Halloween face painting tutorials, the key is to adapt the example to suit yourself.

Day of the Dead: Sugar Skull Art Makeup (Advanced)

Sugar Skull Day of the Dead Makeup

OK, in my last blog post here on Face Paint Heaven we looked at how to face paint a simple day of the dead sugar skull design. Today we’ve got a variation on our Day of the Dead skull that is a bit more complex and intricate

Sugar skull artwork is so impressive when done well. These face painting designs are going to take quite a bit longer than the simple Day of the Dead skull but the results are well worth it.

I’ve broken down this Sugar Skull makeup into a step by step example, based on a beautiful face paint design that I discovered by tortolita07 on YouTube, who was herself inspired by a painting by Sylvia Ji. You can find her video showing the finished result further down the page. It really is beautiful. Read the rest of this entry »

Day of the Dead Face Painting: Sugar Skull (Simple)

Dia De Los Muertos Sugar Skull Face Paint

Do you celebrate Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos) as well as Halloween? Or maybe instead of? Are you looking for a face painting idea to celebrate the occasion?

The Sugar Skull is a fun part of Day of the Dead and makes for an awesome face painting design. There are some complex and beautiful designs out there but, to get started, here is a simple (but cute) Day of the Dead face paint example. For an advanced Sugar Skull face art makeup tutorial, see my next blog post.

This Sugar Skull face painting can be achieved with just 3 colors of paint: white, black, and your choice of a brighter color for the flower petal effect around the eye sockets. In this face painting example I have used pink as it creates a nice contrast with the black and white.

How to be a Cute Dead Zombie Girl

Dead Zombie Girl

OK, so here’s a dilemma girls of all ages can identify with. You want to be a zombie this Halloween (or you are going to a Zombie Prom) and need to look scary and, well, dead. But you still want to look cute! Is it possible to have a cute dead zombie girl look? Find out with this female zombie face painting example!

Although this one is aimed at girls and women, there is no reason why the guys (of all ages) can’t use this zombie face painting as the basis for a Halloween look either.

If you are male, or if you are painting this on a boy, you will probably want more gore. Go for it! Add some wounds and lots of fake blood. Wear less eye makeup and make the eyebrows bushy or leave them off. You can easily adapt this zombie face paint for a more masculine (and more horrible) result.
