This intense look may seem complicated but it is quite simple. A great go-to for Halloween or any sort of themed or fancy dress event, this fantasy makeup look is the perfect place to start.
How To Create It
Step 1 - Start With The Lines
After you apply your base makeup, begin by using a liquid eyeliner to create those swirls. Go with a flowing pattern in white and black –– start from your forehead then lead in with your eyes, follow through with your cheeks, till you reach your lips.

Step 2 - Add The Lipstick
Take two hues of a liquid red lipstick -– one deeper than the other. Start by applying the deeper lip colour on the outer part of your lips to line them and a lighter colour on the inside. Purse your lips together so that the two hues blend seamlessly. There needs to be a visible gradient of colour.

How To Create This Look:
Step 1 - Start With The Highlight
Once you are done applying a low coverage foundation, add a whole lot of highlighter to the highpoints of your face. This includes your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, your brow bones, and your cupid’s bow. Blend away! For this look skip the shimmery highlighter and go for a 3-D multidimensional one that adds a very holographic glow to your look.
