Nutcracker Body Paint

Nutcracker Bodypaint

Step by Step – Face

1)I  Started off by painting the face. I used a Makeup Forever Foundation on the face and brows

 and Primed the eyes with MAC ‘Painterly’ Paint pot. I set the eyes with ‘Brule’ eye shadow from

MAC.  A mix of brown, grey, yellow and beige Supracolor is used as a contour shade and I

Applied this to the cheekbones making the apples of the apples of the cheeks curved to

Make them appear rounder. I then blended the harsh line and created a more defined

Chin by applying the same shade in an upward direction on the chin and curving the end

Towards the cheekbones and blending this.  I also contoured the nose and blended.

The base was then set with translucent powder.

2) I began to draw the eyebrows on with Diamond FX black paint. Black and white eye shadow

Was mixed and swept through the crease and in the top inner corner to give depth to the eyes.

Black Track Gel Liner by MAC was applied to the upper lash line. Kryolan Cream liner in ‘Snow’

Is painted on the lower lash line and waterline. A new Lower lash line is added below this with

Black track. Mascara was applied to the top lash line.

 Lashes are added to the top and bottom lash lines.

3) MAC ‘DollyMix’ Blush was dusted on the apples of the cheeks and the tip of the nose to make

Them look rosy. I then painted the mouth by outlining the top lip in black. I painted 2 straight lines

Coming down from either side and then painted a bottom lip below this. Teeth were painted in

The box between the lips and I filled these in with white and the rest of the box in black. The lips

Were filled in with red. A mustache was added above the top lip. 

Step by Step – Body

1)Red paint was painted in the middle of the body with straight edges on either side.

A collar is then painted on the top of this by the collar bone and then wrapping around

The neck. I mapped out a square on the shoulders too and covered about half the collar

 bone with this as a guideline. Black Body paint was then painted on either side of the

Red paint careful to keep the lines straight.

2) Inside the shoulder squares another square was painted in white and outlined with

Black. The outer square was then filled in with red and Around the square little semi-

Circles were painted to give a lace like trim to the edges. The Red square was then

Outlined in black and so were the semi-circles.  The collars edges were also outlined in

Black and The lace trim was added around this area in white too with black to outline it.

Brown eye shadow was added to the neck area surrounding the lace trim to make it

Appear as though there is a slight shadow on the skin.

3) A red ‘N’ is painted in the middle of the white squares of the shoulder and outlined

With black. 6 Gold buttons are painted on the chest 2 at a time with a gold swirl in the

Middle. They are all outlined in black and an ‘N’ is painted on each button.

4) A gold square is painted on the abs below the buttons and outlined in black. This will

Act as a buckle. A black strip is then painted on either side of this so it appears like a

Belt. Black eye shadow is used around the inside edges of the buckle to give it some

Shading. A triangle shape is painted below the belt and The triangular lines are copied

In the center in black paint. The center is then painted gold and the outer section is

Painted blue.

5) A black Strip is painted down the sides of the legs and The rest of the legs are coated in blue.

The arms are Painted red and a blue strip is painted as a cuff and then outlined with black.

Black shadow is used to shade the edges of the collar and Gold Glitter gel dots are added in

The lace trim on the collar and shoulders. Gold paint is then added in wiggling lines down the shoulder

Pads to appear like tassels. Gold and copper Glitter Gel is then added here in wiggling lines too.

Copper Glitter Gel was then used to define the ‘N’ on the buttons and the shoulder pads. A gold

Wiggling line is also added down the straight lines between the red and black body paint.

Black Crepe hair was stuck down to the face with spirit gum.
