How Do You Dress Like the Grim Reaper?
First, you’ll need a black cape. If you don’t want to buy a cape, you can also use a black sheet. Just cut a hole in the center for your head and drape it over your shoulders. Use a black hooded sweatshirt under the cape and you should now have a functional robe.
How Do You Make Your Face Look Like a Skeleton?
Start by applying a white base all over the face. This will help to create a blank canvas for the rest of the makeup. Next, use a black pencil liner to draw hollow sockets around the eyes and extend the line down towards the cheeks. Then, use a black shadow to fill in the sockets and blend outward. Next, use a white pencil liner to create highlights on the cheekbones and brow bones. Finally, add a black contour along the jawline and blend well.
How Do You Make a Fake Scythe?
This can be made out of cardboard, duct tape, and something for the shaft like a long stick or broom handle. Just cut a long, thin strip of cardboard or duct tape and attach it to the end of the shaft.
