Skeleton face paint is face and body makeup in bone white, black and grey with which you draw eye sockets, a nasal cavity and a row of teeth on the skin. In addition to ready-made sets with a sponge and applicator, there are loose pots, tubes, makeup sticks and liquid latex for texture, and the whole block belongs to the broader skeleton suit line. Women, men and children get started with it for Halloween, carnival or a theme party.
Colors and versions of skeleton face paint
- White is the base color and you can find it as aqua makeup in a round pot, as a tube and in a covering cool or matte chalk-white variant from Superstar.
- You use black for the eye sockets, the nasal cavity and the tooth lines, in a tube, a pot or as a makeup stick with a point for thin lines.
- There is also a split cake with three lanes white, grey and black next to each other, so that you can pick up a gradient in one stroke with a flat brush or sponge.
- Colorful sets exist besides the black and white: the Catrina set has pink greasepaint with glitter gel and light pink face stones, the Day of the dead set self-adhesive eye decorations and loose stones.
- For special effects there are UV sets on water base in yellow, blue and pink with brushes, plus liquid latex in white or grey for cracks and weathered skin.
How does a Mexican skull differ from a classic skeleton face?
A Mexican skull is colorful and decorated, while the classic skeleton face stays in black and white. With the Catrina and Day of the dead sets, pink shades, glitter gel and face stones come on the white base layer, with flower-like edges around the eyes. If you prefer the strict skull, then you only work with a covering white layer and black contours. The difference is also in the type of makeup: with aqua on water base you work it out with a damp sponge and wash it off with water and soap, and the chalk-white color of Superstar is also paraben and perfume free. You only choose liquid latex if you really want to build up texture, because that layer dries on the skin. Apply makeup in layers and let the white dry for a moment before you draw the black lines, then they will not run.
From skeleton face paint to a complete look
Who does not want to paint the skeleton completely, combines a half-painted face with a skeleton mask or sticks to a painted jawline. For the rest of the outfit, skeleton gloves and a skeleton panty match the bone pattern on your face. This way the white of your skin continues in the rest of your costume.
