Create the Jaw Bone and Add Details

Skull Face Painting

Make the jaw bone, add details and you're done!

Rain Blanken
Use the black side of your sponge to dip into the black makeup once more. Make sure you have added a bit of water if the makeup is too dry.

Sponge from the hairline at the temple all the way to the side of the chin, as seen in the first photo. Define this line with your medium brush loaded with black. This is the jaw bone.

Now we will use those little circles we put at the corners of the mouth. Start at the bottom of your circle, drawing a diagonal line to the lowest point on your cheek bone. Fill in the space created.

Clean your brush and load it up with white. Now is the time to highlight the teeth, brows, and broad edges of the jaw. Get out your black sponge and pat very dry makeup on the cheekbones and temples to add a bit of shadow.

See the Finished Skull. Now you are ready to creep out the neighbors.
