Fresh from the King’s royal cemetery comes the scariest princess this side of the tragic kingdom. Creeping Beauty makes her grand debut in royally rancid splendor, she even sports a tiny pet dragon and a haunting royal scepter featuring a haunted skeleton head. Give yourself or your favorite princess the royal treatment, as you follow these simple step by step instructions to create this haunting look, with water activated makeup and fun costume accessories.
Start with a fresh clean face. Apply a light amount of neutral foundation if you prefer. Prepare a small bowl of water and soft cloth for wiping excess water and face paint. Open the lashes and the white liquid makeup, and have a couple of makeup sponges available to apply the paint.
Using the provided brush, dip in water, then in black face paint from the water activated palette. Use the brush to create a crooked line to divide the subject’s face into halves.
Apply glamour makeup to one half of the face, in shades of pink and peach. We used eyeshadow, blush, and a set of false lashes applied with lash glue. Wait to apply the second lash. Set this look with makeup setting spray if desired for extra lasting power.
Use the white liquid makeup with a makeup wedge, blending it right up to the line on the second half of the face. This will be the skeleton side of the face. Allow to dry before moving on to the next step. You can layer the liquid makeup for a more dramatic look.
Using the water activated face paint, add details like a hollow eye socket, stitched looking mouth, and nose detail as shown. These effects are simple to create with the brush that comes with the face paint kit, or your own makeup brushes if you prefer more precision. Everything washes off with water and light soap.
Add cracks and lines for detail using the makeup brush.v
Add a blonde wig and a flexible glitter crown. A ribbon wand is the perfect base for a scepter, but for this princess, topping it with a small skeleton head provides added chills to this scary Halloween costume.
Creeping Beauty wouldn’t dream of starting her ghastly royal feast without her trusty baby dragon sidekick. A small dragon skeleton perches on her shoulder, and looks on hungrily. A gemstone ring is a lovely accessory for this perilous skeleton princess ensemble. Be sure to check out the coordinating creeping beauty party here.
