Game of Thrones - Children of the Forest Inspired Makeup

Game of Thrones - Children of the forest inspired Makeup tutorial

Helloo people!

Adding a Green Base

For the base i'm using an aquapaint. I started off with this green colour and a kabuki brush
If you swirl the kabuki brush you get an even and airbrushed effect

Adding Brown on Top of the Green

If you already have the perfect forest green shade, then this is not neccesary.
My green was too bright so I added a washed out brown aquapaint on top of it

Breaking Up the Texture

So the children of the forest live in the forest (obviously) which wouldn't result in a clean and flawless face.

To break up the texture i'm using a texture sponge dipped in black facepaint, and spread it across the face

Drawing the Forehead Lines

Using an eyeliner brush and black facepaint I'm drawing the forehead lines. Starting from the inner corner of my eyebrow and extending it to the sides of my forehead

Shading

To give some depth to those lines i'm taking a fluffy brush with black eyeshadow and start shading underneath them

Adding Depth

with the same black eyeshadow i'm drawing a V shape on the forehead to create the pattern

Highlighting

To make the pattern on the forehead more noticable i'm taking a white eyeshadow and i'm putting that above the black lines on the forehead.

Darkening the Eyes

For this step I'm using black eyeshadow again and an eyeshadow brush. This doesn't have to be done neatly, just make sure all the areas around the eye are black too make them look dark and a bit sunken in.

Lining the Eyes

For an even darker eye effect i'm using a pencil liner to line my waterline

Drawing the Branch Pattern

The children seem to have a branch like pattern on the forehead and the sides of their head.

To recreate this i'm taking a liquid liner and drawing the same pattern on, also connecting with the forehead lines

Filling in the Lips

To make the lips dark i'm using a dark grey liquid lipstick

Adding Pattern to Your Neck

For this i searched up tree patterns and followed those. I'm using a really small paint brush for this step and black aquapaint

Spray Your Hair Black

Or just paint it black, or use a wig. Whatever you prefer :) The children have dark hair so I just sprayed it black with black hair spray

And thats it!

You're Done!
