Bronzer

Apply bronzer

I’ve already done the majority of my skin makeup, but I love the look of being tanned. So, I’m going to go ahead and apply some bronzer.


Apply under eye powder, blush, and highlight

Next, I’m applying the Laura Mercier Secret Blurring Powder to my under eyes using my fingers.


I then add some blush to my cheeks for a rosy glow and some highlighter to my cheekbones and nose.

Adding blush

Fill in brows

For both of these looks, start off by filling in your brows with a brow pencil.

Add winged eyeliner

I then add winged eyeliner to this look. This can be tricky, but practice makes perfect!

Apply eyeliner to waterline and add mascara

I then add more depth to my eyes by lining my waterline and just beneath this area too. I then add mascara.


Look 1: Minnie Mouse makeup

Now, we’re going to create a cute and simple Minnie Mouse makeup look.

2. Add a heart to nose

I use a black crayon eyeliner, I go ahead and add a cute heart to the top of my nose and fill it in. 


3. Create Minnie Mouse hair

To create the Minnie Mouse hair, I start by parting my hair down the middle.


Then, I’m tying my hair into two space buns to mimic the look of Minnie’s ears.

I then added a red bow to my hair to finish off the look.

4. Put on some black clothes

You don’t really need much of a costume for this look because the makeup and hair are the main features.


I simply put on a black top and some black leggings. 


Look 2: Crying clown makeup
