Haresfoot & Rouge Death Makeup Demo

July 30, 2020 Maya Danek

1877 How To Make-Up; A Guide for Amateurs & C. by Haresfoot and Rouge, a poem included in the guidebook before the description of the death makeup.

Death stage makeup (using modern makeup products) inspired by the “Death” makeup facechart in How to Make-Up; A Practical Guide for Amateurs & C. by Haresfoot & Rouge (1877). Find free full color scans of the whole book here!

1877 How To Make-Up; A Guide for Amateurs & C. by Haresfoot and Rouge, introduction of death makeup description, with a bit of advice and a list of characters that the makeup should be used for.

Products used:

Graftobian white creme foundation (any white creme-based facepaint works just fine)
Graftobian pro setting powder (any setting powder works just fine)
Graftobian black velvet eyeliner (any black eyeliner or black creme facepaint works just fine)
Morphe 12p eyeshadow palette (Creme based makeup would be ideal. Graftobian, Ben Nye, and Nyx all sell great creme based products, but here’s a creme face and body paint palette that has a little bit of every essential color and won’t break the bank!)
Brushes from AllumeMakeup and local craft store
