1. Apply witch hazel
Use witch hazel to remove any products from your skin. This takes away any oils so that your adhesive sticks.
Apply this around your eyebrows and forehead.
Brushing brows with glue
2. Brush your brows with glue
The easiest way to stick down your brows is to use Elmer’s glue stick. I prefer to apply this to the brows using a tepe, or a dental flossing stick.
Apply the glue to the tiny bristle, and brush your hairs downward first.
Go against the grain to coat the back of the hairs, so they stick when you brush them up.
If you want to completely disguise the brows, you’ll want to apply it in a couple of layers.
Let it dry.
Applying adhesive
3. Apply the adhesive where you want your vinyl bald cap
One option for a full forehead piece is to apply a full vinyl bald cap.
Instead of blending the edges away at the hairline, blend the edges away on your eyelids.
If you don’t want to tackle a full cap, apply the vinyl material just below your eyebrows like I’m doing. This way you get less tension on the eyelids.
Pulling bald cap down
4. Pull the bald cap down
Place the back of the vinyl bald cap over your ponytail, and once your adhesive turns clear, you can press the vinyl onto it. It will stick.
Trimming edging
5. Trim the edging
If you have an extra set of hands, have them trim the edging.
Melting excess cap
6. Melt the excess cap
Use a cotton bud and acetone to melt away the rest of the cap.
Melting excess cap
If you don’t want the forehead cap, you can use this method just to cover the eyebrows.
Applying orange to brows
7. Apply an orange shade to neutralize the eyebrows
Since Ahsoka’s skin tone is lighter than the color of our brow hair, we need to disguise the darkness.
Use a cool orange shade to neutralize the darkness of your brows. Diffuse the edges ever so slightly with the brush.
Setting brows
8. Set
Set the orange in place with a translucent powder so it doesn’t move. Use a powder puff to press it over top of the cream.
This will also set the adhesive you applied around the edging of the eyebrows.
9. Apply concealer to the brows
With a clean powder puff, apply a full-coverage concealer over the orange shade. You’ll see it becoming more invisible.
Face paint
10. Apply a base with face paint
For the base, I’m using face and body paints which are incredibly durable and affordable.
I mixed two colors to get the right shade for Ahsoka that didn’t look too orange.
Applying face paint
Apply the paint completely over your face.
You can use a brush, but I’m using an airbrush since it gives me a flawless, quick, and even finish.
Lining eyes
11. Apply black eyeliner around your eyes
Apply a black pencil along your top lid, close to the root of the eyelashes.
Use a small brush to soften the seam. You can also use your finger.
Lining eyes
Apply the same pencil to the waterline and below your lower lashes.
Make sure there are no pink flesh tones visible.
Applying mascara
12. Apply mascara
Make sure you use a good mascara that won’t flake down your face, because it will be visible on the orange tone you have for skin.
I used a tubing mascara.
Hollowing cheeks
13. Hollow out the cheeks
Use a medium-toned sculpting powder with an angled brush and lightly brush through the hollows of your cheeks.
Applying eyeshadow
14. Apply matte eyeshadow
Add a very light wash of matte orange eyeshadow over the mobile lid.
Creating Ahsoka’s makeup
15. Draw on Ahsoka’s makeup
Take a small craft brush and white face paint to paint the shape of Ahsoka’s makeup.
Map out the shape first, then use a smaller brush to fill it in. You’ll want to apply a couple of layers to make the white as opaque as possible.
If you’re not confident doing this, use a soft pencil in a similar shade to the skin tone so they won’t be as visible if you do make mistakes.
Creating Ahsoka’s makeup
As I applied the makeup on the cheeks, I used a few dots to get the proportions right before I started to paint in the actual shape.
Applying lipstick
16. Apply lipstick
Apply lipstick. Ahsoka has a lot more volume to her lips naturally, so you can overline them if you want.
