Scream – it’s Halloween!!!
This scary, blood chilling and spine-tingling look was created by Marianka Van Niekerk
Step 1
First off, start with your outlines of the design – you can either do them in black liner or light grey.
Step 2
Then, start filling in your darkest colour, which will be the black. Clean up any excess colour that bleeds onto the white so that you won’t be left with shadows.
Step 3
Fill your shadows in the black gel and then cure.
Step 4
Using a white that is different to your backdrop, start filling in the face.
Step 5
Use a thin brush to re-line the black features inside the mask.
Step 6
You can fill your backdrop in another colour or you can leave it in black.
Step 7
For more effect, fill the face in a glow powder/ pigment or a glow gel.
