13 Days of Halloween Makeup-Harlequin

Hello! I hope you are having pleasant weekend! My next look in the series “13 Days of Halloween Makeup” is that of a harlequin. These characters who were once jesters in traditional theatrical entertainment are now represented as evil and machiavellian beings.

Time: 45 minutes

Difficulty: 3/10

This look can be divided into three major steps. First, I used white face paint and translucent white powder as the base, in order to create a very pale complexion. Second, I did a smokey eye makeup using silver and black eyeshadow. Moreover, I used liquid eyeliner and mascara to complete the eyes, and black eyeshadow to fill in my brows. Furthermore, I applied a dark brown, almost black eyeshadow under my cheekbones for contouring. Lastly, I used liquid eyeliner to create the black shapes around my eyes, my nose, and my mouth. I overdrew my lips and added more curvature to mimic the devious  and cunning grin found on most harlequins. Once dry, I outlined the four triangles with the same silver eyeshadow I had previously used on my eyes. This makeup look is mostly straightforward and can be varied with numerous colours and diamond patterns. Have fun with it!
