2. The Vintage Porcelain Doll
There is something inherently eerie yet undeniably elegant about a vintage porcelain doll. This makeup look plays on the contrast between flawless, delicate beauty and a subtle, unsettling creepiness. Begin by applying a foundation that is one or two shades lighter than your natural skin tone to create that classic, pale porcelain look. Powder your face generously to achieve a matte, flawless finish. For the eyes, use soft pink and light brown eyeshadows to create depth, and use a white eyeliner pencil on your waterline to make your eyes appear unnaturally large and round.
To bring the doll persona to life, apply dramatic false eyelashes to both your upper and lower lash lines. Rosy, circular blush should be applied directly to the apples of your cheeks, mimicking the painted-on look of antique toys. For the lips, conceal your natural lip line and paint a small, high-gloss “bee-stung” heart shape in the center using a deep red or berry lipstick. To add a spooky Halloween twist, use a brown liquid eyeliner to draw delicate, cracked-porcelain lines radiating from your hairline or cheekbones, giving the illusion that your beautiful facade is starting to shatter.
