Here is a proposal to make up for Carnival: fatal beauty!

As you can see from the photos, it's a trick asymmetric, where the right side of the face was made up with make-up rather marked beuaty, accentuating the light and shade of makeup on the eyelids and under the cheekbones, I realized while on the left face-painting of a skull with colored water.
Before you begin face painting, I covered the eyebrow with soap, to do it then disappeared under makeup.
To draw the skull I was inspired by a couple of pictures downloaded from the Internet (specifically from wikipedia, that).

The realization of face painting:

With the black color and a thin brush I have updated the guidelines that define eye, nose, mandible and maxilla, and the various teeth, helping with the feel and trying to follow the underlying bone.
Then I mixed white, yellow and a touch of black, for the typical color of the bones, preferring a shade a little’ darker, so that we can build on later, and chiaroscuro shadings.
I colored with white teeth, and nose, eye and the inner side of the square jaw with black, I also used to mark the boundary face.
Finally I created using the black shades and a big brush and almost dry, bringing into the dark inner points and using the white to create fake reflections (For example, on the forehead, cheekbone and the center of the nose) in the most obvious; and I added some detail with the brush nice and simple (a crack on the nose and under the eye).

Ok, perhaps a little’ scary.. Here it is !
