Good tips for stage makeup

Undead Chic Make Up Tutorial

Start by finding an inadequately lit bar bathroom.

Balance your makeup bag on the edge of the sink and hope it doesn’t fall in the toilet.

FIRST apply eyeliner, but not the one you like because that one ran out and you keep forgetting to go to Sephora to replace it, the other one. Then black eye shadow from that makeup company where Jeff used to work, applied with the flat brush from Ricky’s that’s obviously just a paintbrush they repackaged.

Follow the curve of your natural dark under-eye circles and/or bags.

Put too much on one eye, balance it out by adding more to the other. Repeat until you decide enough is enough and people are trying to get into the bar bathroom.

Then use the other floppier brush to blend around the edges of your eye sockets. Similar to your Uncle Fester, who’s name appropriately means to rot. 

Try to channel Morticia or Marla Singer, perhaps you can achieve the desired effect through sheer force of will.

Mascara is the last step, except for the part where you realize you got stray black eye shadow powder on your face and it will look like beard stubble unless you remove it with a wet paper towel/toilet paper, which actually just smears it and makes it worse.

A little powder is a nice finishing touch unless you left it in the bathroom, which you did.  & voila!

This “Undead Chic” make up tutorial was written by Ellia Biskerof your favorite Charming Disaster. Brought to you by Artichoke.

This look is also helpful for raising the dead and traveling through The Upside Down undetected.
