Skeletal
Jack Skellington is the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town from Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” You might dress as Jack for a costume party, a convention, or simply to have fun.
Create a skeleton-like appearance by covering yourself in white makeup. Apply the makeup all over your body, including your face, arms, and hands (if they will be exposed). Make sure you apply the makeup evenly so you don’t look patchy.
Use face paint or eyeliner to draw black lines over your eyes and under your cheekbones to create the appearance of deep facial hollows.
Draw black lines around your mouth to give it that skeletal look. Draw an additional line down your chin to make it look longer and sharper.
Paint your lips black as well. This will give them a sunken appearance that further enhances the skeletal look.
If you want to go all out with this costume, use black contact lenses to cover up the whites of your eyes.
