It`s Halloween time again! Today I present you how to recreate one of my favorite mystic creature – an Elf! I show a very easy way to make the ears and in my YouTube video you can watch the make-up tutorial. Remember that this is my own idea of the elf`s look and I call on to make your very own version.
All you need:
> Sticking plaster
> Scissors
> A contour shade/dark brown eyeshadow and a small make-up brush
> Some cool jewelry
1. First, put any hair aside from your ears. I put on a large headban. This step is necessary because we are working with an adhesive bandage, also called a sticking plaster. The ones that are on roll are the best. Its very easy to work with this material, and the colour is very similar to the skin. It`s very uncomfortable to stick any of your baby hairs.
2. Cut a piece of the plaster and stick it to the outer corner of the ear. Start somewhere from the middle of the ear. Cover the little part on the back of the ear, too. Press it well to your skin to take the shape of the ear. Cut the top part in the size you want. You can make the ear with any length you would like to.
3. Then cut another piece. Stick it to your ear and starting from the inner side, connect this second piece to the first one. Press well, so that way the plaster will take the shape of your natural ear curves . Form the top part of your elf ear. And to make it more stable, add some more small pieces.
4. Use dark brown contour shade and a small angel brush to add some shades to the ear. That way it will be more dimensional and will look real. Define your natural curves and add some new to the top part.
5. Finally, I added some jewelry. And of course I put on DIY ear cuffs, made by Bilyana.
