Ripped Skin Makeup Look
If terrifying others is your thing, then get ready to send shivers down their spines with this eerie makeover.

Medusa
Unleash your creative side and channel the iconic Medusa from Greek mythology. By incorporating black contact lenses, you can elevate this costume to an even more mesmerizing level.

Bride of Frankenstein Look
To replicate the realistic stitch design, follow these steps: First, use a dark red lip liner to outline where you’d like your stitches to appear. Once you’re happy with the shape, build up the lines to create depth. Next, draw two parallel lines on either side of the stitches, leaving some space between them. Blend the outer edges using a pencil brush to give your stitches a three-dimensional appearance.
Finally, use a white pencil or eye shadow to highlight the inner stitches and add dimensionality. For more tips and techniques, be sure to check out Desi’s tutorial on this look.
