If you can read this, then it means that hooraaaaay, I’ve finally decided to keep my domain running after all (Thanks for the patience, Robert!) and that hoooraaaay, I finally found the time to create more content for myself even if I’m not yet free to go home. After all, this blog might come in handy, should I decide to become a parlorista or a politically-incorrect, self-deprecating female stand-up (minus the vagina jokes).

TBH, I wasn’t planning to post this today, but then again, I don’t wanna give my trusted coworker the satisfaction of claiming that it was his Pennywise suggestion that gave me the idea to create a Pennywise look for Halloween mwehehe. So anyway, here’s how I recreated makeuproger‘s Pennywise Halloween look:

1. I sketched out the Pennywise area of my face using a white NYX Retractable Eyeliner because it’s easier to erase or paint over white lines. I had to do this first so I wouldn’t have to bother/waste liquid foundation on the areas that will be covered by clown facepaint anyway. Then I used my ever reliable, Elmer’s Glue stick to prep/protect my right eyebrow from the facepaint it will have to endure later.
2. For the normal person areas of my face, I did my usual, ay-may-event-kailangan-mukha-akong-mabango-at-kumpleto-ng-tulog palitada routine:
   • apply L’Oreal Liquid Foundation in Golden Sand thickly all over my blemishes with a damp beauty sponge,
   • brush the lighter brown shade from my Fashion 21 Contour Kit to dechubbyfy my cheeks and fivehead,
   • use Bare Minerals in Luxe Radiance to very very cautiously add pink to my cheeks (fun fact: blush is the makeup item I fear the most–not liquid latex, not eyeliners, but blush.)
   • slather Benefit Watts Up Highlighter above my cheekbones, browbones 
   • bake the visible lines and pores away with Bare Minerals Translucent Finishing Power
3. For my eyes: 
   • I filled up my very very sparse left eyebrow with Nichido Browmaster in Gingerbread
   • I tightlined with the same white eyeliner I used earlier (so the contrast with Pennywise’s eye is more obvious)
   • I winged it with a black Lifeford Hi-Precise Eyeliner Pen
   • I hid my naturally short lashes with Bokhtoh BT02 Falsies
4. Now for the fun but kinda time-consuming part:
   • I went back to the lined area for Pennywise’s face and covered the lines I drew with itty bitty rolls of DIY Scar Wax (although I have a jar of Graftobian Scar Wax, I’ve always found it easier to use the one I make from scratch)–glued with Graftobian Liquid Latex. Then I colored the scar waxy areas with the same liquid foundation I’ve used on the rest of my face.
   • I painted Pennywise’s skin with Graftobian Clown White Cream, added some contours around the nose line and laugh line with Lorac Black eyeshadow, then painted my eyelids with black facepaint from my Flash Color Palette, THEN went back to the black eyeshadow to blend out my black painted eyelids.
   • I used the red facepaint from my Flash Color Palette to draw the clown nose and clown lips (baby pink facepaint for the normal person lips, never forgetting to draw it over the fake skin as well). Medyo na-OC pa ako sa shading so I lined the edges of my lips with black facepaint, then mixed the remaining red & black facepaint on my wrist to draw the line across Pennywise’s cheek.
   • For the minor but important details, I used a teeny tiny brush dipped in white facepaint to highlight the edges of my fake scar waxy skin, then used another teeny tiny brush to line the inner edge with Graftobian Blood Paste, then bit a Graftobian Blood Gel Pack open so the fake blood can stain my mouth, then wore two different colors of contact lenses. 
   • Done. (Obviously I’ve rushed writing this outline because oo nga pala hindi pa ako umuuwi lel)
