Dead Princess Makeup

Items needed:

• Liquid latex (optional)
• Fake scar or scar putty
• Red face paint
• Dark red or burgundy lip paint or gloss
• Fake blood
• Face powder that matches your skin tone
• Disposable sponge or brush
• Powder brush or powder sponge
• Q-tips
• Cosmetic spatula or plastic spoon

Step 1 (optional)

Apply a layer of liquid latex to the area where the blood and fake wound will be. This is optional but helps with removing the makeup afterward.

Step 2

Apply the fake scar or scar putty to your skin. To make it the size and shape of the desired wound, use a plastic spoon or cosmetic spatula to smooth out the edges, while keeping a thicker layer in the center.

Step 3

Set the fake wound with face powder.

Step 4

Using the thin edge of your plastic spoon or cosmetic spatula, create a line in the thickest part of the scar.

Step 5

With a Q-tip, apply red face paint in the line and dab the burgundy lip paint over it.

Step 6

Apply fake blood on the line.

Dead Princess Bra

Items needed:

• White bra
• Pearl strand
• Three white trims of varying length
• White bow
• Red acrylic paint
• Hot glue gun
• Paintbrush

Step 1

Glue the longest trim 1/4 inch from the top edge of the bra.

Step 2

Glue the medium-length trim on top of the longest trim.

Step 3

Glue the shortest trim on top of the medium-length trim.

Step 4

Glue the pearl strand to the very top edge of the bra.

Step 5

Glue the bow to the center of the bra.

Step 6

Dip the paintbrush (and your fingers) into the red paint. Smear the red paint to make it appear like blood, and don’t be afraid to go crazy!

TIP: Once you have an adequate amount of paint on your paintbrush, use your fingers to pull the brush bristles back, and fling it! It gives a good splatter effect.
