Hi guys.
I'm Cynde Watson, professional makeup artist,
and I'm excited today because I'm going to show you
how to get the Kim Kardashian skeleton look.
So, the first step is you want to get
a crayon like this in white.
We're going to do everything white first.
Since this is a black-and-white look
it's easier to do all your white makeup first
and then do the black makeup so you don't get it
and make it turn into a gray look.
First thing I'm gonna do is trace around my eyes
so that we can get that sunken, skeleton look.
So, I take the white pencil
and above your brow,
you come in
and it doesn't have to be so perfect,
and there.
And then again on the other side,
go around
and come in, and there are no mistakes in skeleton
you can just color in.
So, now you have the eye sockets
and next we're going to do the nose.
So, the nose has a little bit of a,
comes up kind of like so,
so it's almost like a z.
I'm kind of making a z or a two.
Comes around and comes down.
And you're just going to fill that in with black later.
Okay, just like that.
So, now you have your nose and your eyes.
It's so easy.
So, it's really just like a contour.
You start the center of your ear
and kind of go around like so, bring it around.
See that, you're kind of making a line like so.
Now, on the other side, same thing.
Kind of just two lines like this.
It gets tricky when you come out here.
You're going to come up a little bit here,
just like this towards the mouth
and then again towards the mouth like that.
On the other side, same, up,
and towards the mouth like that.
So now, you're ready to do all-over white.
All right?
So, with that, you can either use a sponge, or I prefer
as an artist to use the brush to start.
I have on a little makeup already,
but, if you're coming home from work or school
you can just go right over your makeup.
If not, to protect your skin, you want to make sure
you use a primer first, so you primer your skin
so you can protect the skin
and so your makeup lasts longer.
And, start putting that makeup on.
And, I'm just really dabbing it on.
Dab, dab, dab.
Dab it in.
And then I change to a smaller brush
and just press it in.
So it's important to just get it on first
and you can make it more opaque
which means thicker and not so see-through later.
This is a great brush because it has both sides
or, like I said, you can use a sponge also.
And, sponges are sometimes actually less expensive
and easier to get a hold of
even though I love to use brushes.
And I like this look too because the way she did it
her hair was all the way back.
And you can take it down your neck if you'd like
or you can wear a turtleneck, you can kind of cheat it out.
Cover it over your mouth.
And when the liquid makeup starts to dry down,
it makes it so much easier to layer.
And you just keep layering over.
Kind of coming together here.
And so you just trace over.
So, it's so much easier to get this white on
just like I was saying earlier, before you put the black on.
A lot of times you see, there are people
who put the whole white face first.
And when you do that,
the black mixes with the white.
And it just becomes a big hot mess.
And you see how I am pressing in,
pressing, pressing, pressing,
that is the best way to get more
of an opaque white or whatever color you're using.
And it smooths it out also.
See it so far?
I think we're coming together.
And in here it gets a little tricky
with the nose, what you'll see it coming together
once I put the black in there.
And then just kind of make sure
you can look into the mirror
and try and make it symmetrical
so both sides are even.
And make sure you don't forget your ears with the white.
Now I'm going to be using a cream
just to make it a little more white.
And it has a little bit of iridescence to it
so it kind of glows.
And this is just like party makeup.
It's very inexpensive.
And, of course, I would be wearing
a turtleneck with this or a body suit.
Fingers are also very good to use
just to make sure it's all set.
Little pinky finger.
It's good just to tap it in around your hairline.
Just tap it out.
See how I'm doing that?
Okay, I'll let that set
and now we'll start putting the black on.
And you can go on the inner water line
under your eyes they're like,
right in the water line.
As close as you can get to that.
So you just want to drag that down, that pencil.
Also on your lids, color in.
Already looking spooky.
Okay, a bigger crayon, and then just color in.
You can start to trace that same shape
that you traced with the white,
you can do it with the black.
Now, some of that white will be there,
but not as much as it would have been had we started
doing a whole white face.
And it will look a little gray
but we're going to go back with some paint.
And we'll do the same thing.
I'm really just coloring on the eyebrow
and then, bring it in, back around.
You can see it on this side and this side.
Okay, then I'm going to color the nose in.
You want to get the complete nostrils and everything.
A brush like this,
and you'll go into your black
and then you can go back and paint.
And pressing like this is best to get
the black on quicker
and it will be the most black this way
'cause it won't have the opportunity to mix
with the white paint.
Can you see the difference?
This brush is great because it has a really precisioned end
and you can get the nice edges
and smooth the edges really nicely.
Now I'm just really smoothing the black.
Now to the nose.
It's detailing up a little.
Okay, so now we're going to start doing the jawline.
And you're going to start right at the ear
where I had that open space.
And you're really just contouring
on your natural contour.
This is not perfect.
It's not supposed to be perfect.
So, it's kind of almost like a tree branch a little bit.
I'm getting there.
Okay, and the other side, same thing.
And don't worry if the sides aren't absolutely perfect.
It doesn't matter, just as long as they get
in the closest vicinity.
Okay, so now you have the jawline, the nose, the eyes,
and then what I will do now is take the thin pencil
and this is where you can kind of really do a little work
on like, perfecting a little bit more.
Adding a little more detail.
You want it to be blackest around your actual eye,
so, go back in with the blackest pencil you have.
Not bad.
Okay.
So, let's do a little detail on the eye.
So, this is just like the cracks in the skull.
We're gonna put the little cracks.
So, it's important to get like a really thin
point eyeliner, liquid eyeliner.
It makes the cracks in the skull look really real.
And, your lines don't have to be the same thickness.
Some are thinner, some are thicker,
it's fine, don't worry about it.
Spooky, spooky.
And now I'm just going to make this
I'm going to use this just too make it a little blacker
around my eyes.
Add a little white in here.
Just another sized crayon.
I'm going to put a couple of little marks in here.
And here's where you kind of just feather it in.
You don't want it to be too perfect.
You want to take it in to the lip a little bit,
just like this.
Press the black into the lip,
so you can look dead.
All of this is fine-tuning.
You want to add a little bit of bronzer just for depth.
Any bronzer that you have, it doesn't matter.
Even contour, I'm using a contouring pallet,
so, you just add it around your lips.
Thin.
It's good we're putting in the lines.
It's so easy, down.
Some are thicker than the others.
Now, I'm using a little eyeshadow
just to bring the drama, and you can see
how it's starting to develop a little bit more.
This will also help set the makeup
'cause it's crayon, and it's all sort of waxy and creamy.
So the powder will help lock it in.
Even on the sides, this is where you're going to build in
a nice even jawline.
And then you can the use it
to sort of softly come together here.
It starts to look spookier.
You can shadow a little bit.
And you can go back with the white.
In between brightens that up,
makes your mouth a little spookier.
And don't try to be perfect down here
because it's not supposed to be.
Just do a little bit more on my neck.
And you just take it down as far
as whatever you're going to be wearing.
Just a few layers to really get it where you want it to be.
So, once that's done, you just look at it
and just decide, is it ready to go?
I feel like I want to find
this pencil and take the top off
and just fine-tune this area a little bit more.
And you can see,
pretty much there.
And just one last on the ears,
make sure that goes all the way back.
The final step is to set with a translucent powder lightly.
You don't need a whole lot of it.
Just really just tap it, the white areas mainly,
because we used the black eyeshadow on the black,
that's fine.
Don't forget your lovely neck.
And you can see that I press a lot.
This really keeps it, sets it in,
and it gets it on quickly.
And there we are.
The Kim Kardashian inspired skeleton look.
You can do it yourself.
(laughs spookily)
