Egyptian Mummy Face Paint Tutorial

If you’re like me, you’ve also been counting down the days until Halloween. Well, it’s almost here! One of my favorite designs of the year was this Golden Egyptian Mummy. This design is great for private bookings. You can also do a  simplified version for Halloween parties and festival events when time is a big factor.

Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Mehron Metallic Gold Powder
2. Mehron Mixing Liquid
3. Global White
4. Paradise Black
5. Wolfe Black
6. Graftobian Blood Paste
7. Smoothie Blender
8. Always Wicked Sponge
9. 1″ Flat Brush
10. #2 Round Brush
11. #4 Round Brush

The Application:

Begin by mixing your Mehron Mixing Liquid and Mehron Metallic Gold Powder. You will want the gold to be very opaque, so be sure the mixture isn’t too thin. Once you have finished mixing, load your Smoothie Blender with the mixed Mehron Metallic Gold Powder and apply it to one side of the face.

Using a dry brush*technique, lightly load your #4 Round Brush with Paradise Black to create a shadow effect on the edge of the gold.

Load your #4 Round Brush with Wolfe Black and outline the eye. You will be making an Eye of Horus, Continue by filling in the eyebrow.

Load your 1″ Flat Brush with Global White and begin painting the mummy wrap on the other side of the face. It’s better to create an overlapping of the wrap to give the design more depth.

Load your Always Wicked Sponge with Paradise Black and sponge in the Mummy eye.

Next, you will load your #2 Round Brush with Paradise Black and begin painting the details on the Mummy wrap. You will want the edges of each wrap to be a little darker to distinguish one wrap from the other.

Continue blending Global White and Paradise Black on the Mummy wrap until you achieve the desired effect.

Your final step will be adding some Graftobian Blood Paste to the edge of the gold using your Always Wicked Sponge. You will use a stipple motion to apply the blood.
