1. Prep your face

Apply foundation all over your face and buff with a foundation brush. Apply concealer under your eyes and wherever else your face needs it. 

Then apply a heavy layer of concealer to your eyebrows to cover them up. Dust loose powder to set everything in place.

2. Create new brows

Outline new thick brows with a black felt tip eyeliner in a strong and defined shape. They should be quite angled at the beginning and come up to a point in the center.

Fill in the brows with black gel eyeliner using your angled brush.

3. Draw lines on the face

Now you’re going to use the felt tip eyeliner to draw lines on your face as if you were a real pop comic book character come to life!

Draw overlines in between your eyebrows and down your nose. Draw around the base of your nose, highlighting the curves.

Draw your eye crease.

Draw a dramatic winged eyeliner that almost meets the eye crease line.

4. Add some color

Fill in the gap between the eye crease line and the eyeliner line with light blue shadow. The one I’m using has glitter specks in it to pump up the pop art look!

5. Finish the eyes

Brighten the lower eyelash line by using a jumbo white eyeliner on the pink part of the eye and extending it just slightly outward on the skin, including the eye corners.

Outline the lower lash line with the black felt tip eyeliner.

Then draw on 3 lashes at the edge of the lower eye. This adds drama!

Apply false lashes. Finish with mascara.

6. Outline the face

Outline your entire face with the black eyeliner gel and eyeliner brush, across your forehead and on the temples. 

Draw a diagonal line just below your cheekbone to accentuate the area.

Draw a straight line in the crease of your chin, below your mouth.

7. Perfect pout

Put a bright-colored lipstick on your mouth. Blot with a tissue.

Outline your lips with the black eyeliner gel and brush. Draw lines at the inner edge of your lips as well. Add a small vertical line of the black eyeliner in the center

Highlight the center of your upper and lower lips with white shadow.

8. Lined up

Finish the edges of your face by drawing on the gel eyeliner with the brush at your jawline.

Add a pinky-colored blush with a brush to your cheekbones above the drawn line.

You can leave it here! Or...

Pop-art comic books used dots for their characters because they were limited to just 4 colors. They were printed on cheap paper and had to keep costs down. Dots created shading and other colors inexpensively. If you want more of a pop-art look with dots, follow along!

9. Draw white dots all over the face

To get the pop art look with dots, add white, pink, or red dots all over your face and neck using a jumbo pencil, lipstick, or eyeshadow with a sponge tip or wet brush.

I also like to accentuate the neck and add some slightly curved vertical lines at the neck and at the base of the throat.

Final touch: top with a funky wig or other headgear to completely transform your look!
