Thread: bat makeup mask?

Tweet

im searching for a way to do a eye covering mask effect in make up that is bat outline -esque...as opposed to a actual eye mask i thought the make up would be more comfortable...not totally set on bat wing design but i think its what i want to go with my dress anyone seen anything batty they liked? thanx

Two ideas come to mind...

Paint the face a medium blue. Add a few small clusters of sparkle for stars. Paint a pale yellow full moon over one eye and upper cheek.

Paint silhouettes of small flying bats rising up from the chin, across the moon and up into the hairline.

Idea Two - Paint the face any color you want, but have a single tiny bat hanging upside at the outside corner of one eye, sleeping, a furry, leathern-winged little teardrop.

hmmmm may need to recruit someone a tad more artistically talented than myself to pull that off lol , or someone with steadier hands at least...but its an interesting idea...

Are you looking for something like this only bat shaped?


Painting on a bat shape like that should be fairly easy. You could also just do small bat wings off your eyelid kinda like extended eyelashes.

Another idea is to get a blank plastic face mask or half mask and turn it into a masquerade style mask in the shape of a bat.

Good luck with your bat theme!

Thanks for the pic...it will help i just need to avoid the tell tale curve of the bat man symbol lol more baccardi bat i like the ed gorey drawing from mystery where the woman has an elegant black evening gown and bat type head piece...

Here is what I envisioned in photoshop based on your description... not sure if this is what you had in mind

Aether thats ... so perfect !! oh thank you ....i may not be able to restrain myself from elaborating on my other makeups, but...thats so perfect . i think i love you ! lol -amy

The above mask is amazing... see if you draw it on using an eye liner pencil it stays on pretty well! I have done something similar in the past.

You can use urban decay glitter that comes in a squeeze tube to cover the black base to add sparkle and then outline in black.
