1. Conceal eyebrows

A big part of this spider queen makeup look is to make sure you cannot see your eyebrows, so I suggest you do not skip this step.

Using a non-toxic glue stick, start spreading the glue all over your eyebrows making sure to cover all sides of the hair.

Once your eyebrows are completely covered in the glue, start a process of layering powder and glue over one another, repeating until the texture of your eyebrows is basically gone. 

Over this apply a heavy-duty concealer.

Pro tip: If you have particularly dark eyebrows like me, you can also use a salmon-toned concealer over your skin-toned one to help neutralize the darkness of your eyebrows, make sure to set this with a powder.

Using a brush dab the skin-toned concealer over your eyebrows so they magically disappear creating the perfect canvas for this frightening look. 

2. Cover your face with foundation

Go over the rest of your face with foundation and powder to make everything blend together and give a more natural look. 

3. Frame your eyes with circles

Using a pencil brush and black eyeshadow start drawing circles around your eyes. It’s easiest to follow the socket of your eye to create a natural roundish shape then fill those circles in with a darker eyeshadow.

4. Create false eyes

Draw two circles that will represent the second set of eyes almost diagonally above your eyes. Start by drawing two small circles on both sides making sure they are symmetrical and progressively make them larger and larger until you get them to the desired size.

5. Draw fangs

Cover your lips with foundation and start drawing your fangs. To do this, draw a line going from your cheek towards the center of your bottom lip, repeat on the other side.  

Now draw the part where the fangs look like they are poking up out of your skin. For this, I suggest using brown eyeshadow and an angled liner brush. Try and create that 3-dimensional structure using a little bit of shading here and there.

6. Create an illusion of protruding eyes

I want to make my second pair of eyes a bit more realistic, so I draw edges around them to give the illusion that they are protruding from my head. To keep with the whole theme, I do the same around my actual eyes. 

7. Filling in the fangs

Now it’s time to fill in the fangs. Using the same black eyeshadow fill in the fangs you outlined making sure everything is opaque.

8. Add shade to the fangs and eyes

Your next step is to shade the fangs and eyes. For this, use a fluffy eyeshadow brush and brown eyeshadow.

You are just going to shade underneath the fangs themselves as well as under the area they protrude, this is going to make it look more three-dimensional and realistic.

 Do the same thing around the eyes.

9. Add a realistic effect to your fake eyes

Take a light skin-colored eyeshadow and go right around the edges of the eyes to make them pop up for a more realistic effect. You can do this around the fangs and eyes as well. 

10. Line the inner rim of your eyes.

Line the inner rim of your eyes with a black eyeliner pencil.

11. Draw in the hair

To add a little extra creepiness to your spider queen Halloween makeup, take a mix of different brown eyeshadows and create hairs on your forehead and on the sides of your neck. Make sure to blend this into the hairline as well.

12. Add highlights

Now it's time to start adding the highlights and for this, I'm using a white cream eyeshadow. Draw the highlights on all your black areas in the places where they would catch the light naturally. 

13. Add another set of eyes (optional)

If you would like to amp up the creepiness add an extra set of eyes on either side of the nose as well as in the middle of the forehead. Make sure to add the highlights and shadows to those as well.
