3. The Vintage Porcelain Doll

3


For a look that is equal parts charming and unsettling, the Vintage Porcelain Doll is a timeless Halloween favorite. The key to this aesthetic is achieving a completely matte, airbrushed complexion that mimics the cold, smooth surface of antique bisque dolls. Use a full-coverage foundation that is one or two shades lighter than your natural skin tone, and set it thoroughly with a translucent powder to eliminate any hint of shine.

To create the illusion of oversized, innocent doll eyes, apply a white eyeliner pencil to your lower waterline and slightly below it, extending the white area to visually enlarge the eye socket. Draw a new, lower lash line just beneath the white area using a dark brown liquid liner, and apply dramatic, separated individual false lashes to both the upper and lower lids. Keep the cheeks highly flushed with a concentrated circle of pastel pink blush right on the apples. For the lips, conceal your natural lip line and paint a small, perfect red “bee-stung” pout right in the center.
