It happens every year. Halloween creeps up and
your costume is non-existent. But this time, instead of panic-buying a
cheesy costume in a bag, why not create a disguise that's all about the
face? (Meaning: you legit don't have to buy a costume!) Mind. Blown.
Makeup artist Mark Edio
teaches the simple skills needed to paint the most gorgeous masquerade
mask ever. The best part: The magic's already in your makeup bag.

Step 1: Wing It
After creating a clean canvas with foundation, use a vivid liquid liner like Maybelline Masterprecise Ink Metallic Liquid Eyeliner in Teal Galaxy
to draw a dramatic wing from the inner corner to the outer corner of
your eye. Exaggerate the flick towards the tail of the brow. Then apply a
black gel eyeliner to the bottom water line. "This will really make the
wing pop," says Edio. Swipe mascara on top and bottom lashes.

Step 2: Trace the Shape
Since creating the outline of the mask can be
tricky, Edio suggests holding a makeup brush vertically along your nose
to find the center of your face. Using a liquid liner like Maybelline Master Precise Ink Metallic Liquid Liner in Black Comet,
place a dot in between, and above, your brows as a place to start. "The
shape is up to you," says Edio. "The less perfect it is, the more
artistic it will look," he says. So you don't make a mistake, Edio
recommends working in short strokes, rather than continuous lines.

Edio added swirls, dots, and diamond shapes using various shades of Maybelline Master Precise Ink Metallic Liner
including Solar Gold and Cosmic Purple. The formula is water-proof and
long-wearing, so your mask won't budge until daybreak. You can even add
sequins for extra bling.
