Are you trying to find a perfect Halloween look? Well, we have got you covered! If you're looking for a spooky transformation, this tutorial will guide you through creating a Vampire Diaries inspired vampire makeup look. The Vampire Diaries is well known for its depiction of creepy and alluring vampires.
Creating the Vampire Eyes
For the first step of this Vampire Diaries look, ensure you have already applied your foundation and primer, as this process involves using a variety of eyeshadow colors. Begin by applying some neutral browns as a base on your eyelids.
Next, transition to a black matte eyeshadow. Apply this around the outer corners of your eyes. This step can be a bit messy, as the goal is to blend the black shadow into the brown base, creating a smoky, deep effect.
Once you have completed blending the black matte eyeshadow, take a very light white eyeshadow and apply it just under your eyebrows. This will serve as a highlight, adding dimension to your eyes.
Following the eyeshadow application, carefully place liquid black eyeliner on your upper eyelids. For the lower eyelids, use a regular black eyeliner. If you wish to enhance the spooky aesthetic, consider purchasing black or red contact lenses for an even more striking Vampire Diaries look.
To further define your lashes, use any kind of mascara. For a more dramatic effect, you can also apply fake eyelashes to make your eyes stand out.
Achieving the Undead Contour and Veins
To achieve that signature Vampire Diaries sunken undead look, utilize a combination of black and brown eyeshadow to contour your face. Apply the contouring shades with intensity, then blend them thoroughly with a contouring brush to create natural-looking shadows.
To complete the sunken appearance, focus on the area under your eyelids. Use the same black and brown eyeshadows to deepen the hollows beneath your eyes, enhancing the gaunt effect.
The key to truly embodying the Vampire Diaries vampire look lies in the depiction of their prominent veins, which often appear when they are hungry, angry, or experiencing strong emotions. To replicate this, use a combination of red and black eyeshadow to draw out delicate vein lines on your cheeks. Blend these lines subtly to make them appear as if they are just beneath the skin.
Final Touches: Lips and Fangs
For the lips, apply a vibrant red lipstick. This will provide a stark contrast and complete the classic vampire aesthetic.
Finally, the ultimate step to becoming a creature of the night is to insert your fake fangs. Once in place, you should be looking absolutely fangtastic!
