Materials: Facial toner Airbrush White, black and grey liquid makeup Extra long eyelashes Paintbrushes - Clean the subject's face with toner and tie her hair away from her face.
- Use the Queen of Hearts from a deck of cards (figure A) for a design source.
- Slowly airbrush the face with white makeup (figure B). The makeup should have water added so that is it the consistency of milk. Take your time; it is better to use a very fine mist and go over the face several times for an even finish. Airbrushing makeup gives you a smooth and beautiful finish.
Airbrush tips: - Less is more -- it is easier to put more on than to take it off.
- When you airbrush around the nose, the person needs to breathe in and slowly breathe out. Makeup mist is not harmful, but you do not want to breathe it.
- Try to keep a nice smooth pattern going.
- Airbrushes with compressors start at around $250. You can buy an airbrush and canned air at a hobby shop for approximately $50.
- Use a fine brush to paint on the black design.
- Add grey to the eyelids and the mouth.
- Use white paint to fix any errors.
- Draw black lines on the forehead for hair (figure C).
- Carefully apply some really long eyelashes.
- Cover the model's hair with a wimple (figure D).
