Halloween Skull Face Makeup DIY
1. Begin by using a sponge to cover your face with the white face paint. You do not need to apply a very thick layer, only a thin opaque layer as it will serve better. Cover your eyebrows and lips as well.

2. Next, using a small/thin brush dipped in black face paint and start covering around your eye. These represent the eye sockets and hence pay attention to achieving a circular shape which covers eye lids, eyebrows and under eye area as well, as shown.
