What this video covers

This tutorial recreates the iconic half-skull makeup worn by Tate Langdon in American Horror Story, with the look also doubling as a Zombie Boy-inspired design. Creator Alexys Fleming (Madeyewlook) demonstrates how to achieve the dramatic black-and-white skull illusion using a small set of professional-grade face paints and eyeshadow. The compact six-minute runtime keeps the walkthrough focused and accessible for intermediate makeup artists. Both the character cosplay and the editorial body-art angles are covered in a single technique.
