  • Ice cream cone
  • Sprinkles
  • Nail polish
  • Crayola Model Magic clay
  • Dark blue eyeshadow
Drawing the ice cream drips on the face

1. Make the ice cream drips

With a white makeup pencil, go ahead and draw the ice cream drips along the middle of your face.

2. Paint your face

Now, using the pink face paint (or any other color you like), fill in the top half of your face with paint and make sure not to go over the white drip lines. 


Tip: Use a smaller brush for the curved lines.

3. Make the ice cream cone

To make the ice cream for the cone, use a little bit of Model Magic clay. Shape it in a way that looks squashed so that it peeks through the side of the cone itself. 

How to create an ice cream out of clay

Add slight indentations on the side with an earbud to give it more dimension.

Also, roll a ball to make the cherry (pictured top left).

Coloring the ice cream with nail polish

Use some spirit gum to stick the model magic to the cone. Next, paint the clay with pink nail polish (or any other color you used for the top half of your face). Glue some sprinkles to the cone, and don’t forget to paint the cherry red!

4. Stick the cone 

Now, for the best part of the ice cream makeup look! Figure out where would be the best place to stick the cone. I stuck mine with spirit gum right above my right brow, as shown. The same goes for the cherry. 


Tip: Hold the cone for a few minutes until it completely sticks.

For a little dimension, add some white to the blue paint and blend accordingly with your finger.

6. Add more dimension

Now, with a dark blue, take your eyeshadow brush and outline the drip lines. This is a full-proof way to create a remarkable shadow effect and make the drip look as real as possible!

7. Add the finishing touches

So, now that we are almost done, it’s time to add some final touches to your ice cream costume makeup. Stick the cherry on your forehead with spirit gum, apply a lovely pink lipstick, and glue some cute sprinkles around your forehead area with some spirit gum.
