Blingy bones
This crystal-encrusted look is a truly glam way to rock skull makeup at any soiree. The minimal color palette makes a big impact with glimmering gold and pitch black accents. Add some iridescent flat-back crystals to really make the look pop.

Soul senorita
This classic, rose-themed Day of the Dead makeup features the colors of the Mexican flag. Her skeleton rocks victory rolls, giant flowers in her hair and the prettiest red, green and white skeleton — much too pretty to be dead.

Earthy expression
Such a creative use of temporary tattoos — to create a floral skull so perfect, it looks hand-sketched. Deep cranberry, sage and turquoise are unexpected and delightful uses of color in this skull makeup look.

India inspired
This unique skull makeup is full of Indian accents. From the beaded veil to the gilded jewelry (including the nose chain), this is a look we're dying to copy. This artistry combines shimmery accents, detailed skeletal bones and wickedly intricate eye makeup. And would you look at those carved cheekbones?

Subtle shading
You don't need to explicitly draw bones to create skull makeup. This look utilizes contouring and shading to create the hollows and contours of the facial bones. It's a neat way to use that contour palette you've never touched before.
