Create the Cheekbones
Step 1
Apply Spirit Gum adhesive onto each cheekbone prosthetic. Let the adhesive dry for a few seconds until tacky to prevent the prosthetic from slipping on your face.
Step 2
Apply a prosthetic to each cheekbone, making sure all edges are smooth and unwrinkled.
Step 3
Let the prostheses dry for at least 2 minutes to ensure they will remain in place.
Accentuate the Cheekbones
Step 1
Apply a layer of foundation over your entire face using the makeup wedges, taking special care to blend makeup over the edges of the prostheses.
Step 2
Use a contouring brush to sweep a dark stroke of taupe powder along the cheekbone, starting at the top of the cheekbone and finishing at the base. Repeat on the opposite side.
Step 3
Use a small makeup brush to dust highlighting powder on top of each cheekbone.
Step 4
Contour each side of the nose using taupe powder to create a narrower, sharper look.
Apply Eye Makeup
Step 1
Fill in your eyebrows with a brow pencil or brow powder, creating a high, exaggerated arch on each eyebrow.
Step 2
Apply a light eye shadow over the entire eyelid using a smoky eye-shadow palette.
Step 3
Use a blending brush to apply a darker shadow in the crease of each eye, blending out toward the temple.
Step 4
Sweep yellow eye shadow along each brow bone.
Step 5
Line the top lash line with liquid eyeliner, making the line thicker at the end and slightly winged past the natural lash line.
Step 6
Apply a false eyelash to the top of each lash line, following instructions on the eyelash packaging,
Step 7
Apply two coats of black mascara to each eye.
Finish and Set the Look
Step 1
Line and fill in your lips using red lip liner.
Step 2
Apply a saturated coat of red lipstick.
Step 3
Use a face brush to apply a coat of translucent finishing powder to keep makeup in place.
Tip
The key to mastering an authentic Maleficent look is to make sure your cheekbones are prominent, striking and dramatic.
