Carnival time sees most makeup artists and amateurs alike, scurrying around last minute for the brightest and boldest pigments, paints, coloured stones, gems, crystals, plush eyelashes, feathers, glue and virtually anything that can be stuck and painted on the faces of the masquerader. It is that time of year that you can let your imagination go wild and create concepts that would be considered acceptable and deemed stunningly beautiful and creative. Now with the advent of makeup tutorials on YouTube, one can virtually tap into the many resources available and with a little imagination of your own you can defer from getting out of bed at an indecent hour of the morning and actually attempt your very own customised carnival makeup look on your own. It is quite simple really.
Here are a few steps to follow:
1. A good idea would be to take your costume colours and embellishments into consideration and then set about thinking about what sort of face design would complement your carnival ensemble.
2. Draw the design on paper, map out where you would want to place your gems and or paints.
3. Practice your design on your best friend or even on your own face in order to perfect your own special look.
4. For the ladies who are not too keen on waking up at 3 am, there are many options of peel and stick body art that are specially designed for the eyes and body that are actually reusable and are flexible enough to move with your body. It takes all the guess work out of the equation and allows you to get your makeup look done in the minimum amount of time, so yes, that means a little extra sleep for you.
Whether you choose to design your own Carnival makeup look or use the Peel and Stick on Body art kits that come complete with eyelashes, glue and glitter, have fun exploring and creating your own unique look for this season of fun.
