Hey Loves, Giselle here, thanks so much for watching!
Today, I got to film some really scary promos at LATV - hence the super intense professional
background -- I got to rock a half skull look, and it was way too fun not to share.
Now, just to let you know know, I was super rushed for time.
BUT, like the day of the dead look from last year, I did manage to mix up some black light
glow in the dark makeup on both sides.
I began by brushing on LOTS and LOTS of primer to help the makeup apply smoother and to at
least try to keep some of the paint out of my pores.
Now, I drew my division line down the middle, but now I wish would've tried something else,
like a diagonal, or a top to bottom, or a cross zig zag kind of a thing.
But, maybe next time!
I'm using a full coverage foundation on one side of my face and all of my neck -- and
yes it was totally weird applying makeup only to one side of my face at a time.
Next up, concealer to brighten my eyes, some bronzer to contour my cheeks, a little powder
and highlight where I need it.
And then over to the other side, where I kept a black light handy to test the evenness of
the white face paint -- to find out how I mixed that up to make it black light glow,

And, long and even strokes are definitely the key here.
Also, I used the paint to prime my lips, as well as my eyes, to make those colors stick
and especially pop when I apply them in a bit.
Oh, and almost forgot, I went over and sponged the whole skull side with a translucent powder
- minus the lips - and this is just going to set the paint, get rid of any brush marks,
and prevent future smudging and bleeding.
And then, since I'd never used the fluo night makeup as actual makeup, instead of over face
paint, I did a lot of the testing on the spot, as you're watching right now.
I started off my dabbing the purple around my eyelid and pulling it in until about the
half way point.
And then I applied the hot pink to the inner half of my eye, around the tear duct and my
lower lash line.
Layering and layering and layering both pigments to intensify the color and shape as I got
more comfortable with the product.
Now, like I said earlier, I was in kind of in a rush, so I kept designs pretty simple
around here.
I used the same powder as my eyes, I added a little aqua seal to create more of a paint
consistency and I used my brushes as stamps.
Dabbing instead of tracing the petals, for max color and time efficiency.
Again, more in depth tips for this by clicking the box or the link below.
Now, I'll let the petals dry and quick fill in my brow.
And now to bring the character to life... or I guess death.
I'm filling in my eye completely -- even over my brows -- with a nice thick coat of black
face paint.
Careful when going around the edges to keep the shape clean and round.
Now a little break from eyes to lips, which I'm filling in completely with the same neon
pink powder I've been using.
And I'm actually using a narrow angle brush for application and precision, Adding a little
aqua seal to deepen color.
I even decided to blot on some black for a creepier effect.
Then I used a thin brush to pull out for the cut around my cheeks and quick stitch marks
The nose, for me, personally, is the hardest part, I don't know why.
But luckily, I only had to do one side of this.
I traced around my nostrils and shot up two little points, and filled it in.
Quick little detail of filling in the water line.
Quick black light check.
All is good in the hood.
I decided to add some crazy lashes, topped, of course, with my glow paint...
Then, on the other side, I curled my own lashes -- cure face, I know -- and applied some false
whispies.
Letting those dry and moving on to hair.
I just went crazy here.
Honestly, I needed to be quick.
I teased teased teased the roots and the ends -- lots and lots of hairspray, of course - And
then I flat ironed and smoothed out the other side.
Quick application of thick mascara.
Quick clean up and highlighting powder under my eyes and around my mouth.
I also added a little white accent to my inner corners.
And we are done.
There is the final half skull look that I used for my scary Halloween promo with LATV.
