Junji Ito is an expert in terror and creating manga so chilling that they can traumatize you, if you have ever read their manga's you know what I mean, the way these characters are developed and the terrifying expressions they have on their faces are characteristics of this wonderful Japanese, it is incredible the level of detail so spectacular that it achieves, this time I wanted to make up as the "uzumaki" manga.
Uzumaki is a rather strange manga but after all it is great if you like horror, in this manga we can see how a series of curses in the form of a spiral affects the lives of several people, we can see mutilations and very horrendous deaths, which just thinking that could happen would be hell.
The thing is that I love Junji Ito's way of illustrating and I wanted to try a makeup inspired by one of his stories, I plan to recreate other characters later, please don't be scared, sometimes I am a bit strange and I like the sinister things.
Ok, here we go, I started adding base and powder to my face I would have liked to add white paint but it was going to be very difficult to apply the black paint on top, it would make a very unpleasant mass on my face, so I opted for normal makeup and then put the photos in black and white so that it had that manga effect, once the base and the powder was ready i began to paint with an eye pencil the lines where I was going to color later, it was to guide me at the beginning locate the spiral in my eyes and draw other eyes on my eyelids to see me even more chilling and also be able to make the eye shape equal to the reference image.
Already at this point I started painting white where the eyes were supposed to go, I also painted my mouth black, the next step which was extremely difficult, was to draw the eye over my eyelid, adding the fact that I have myopia and that I had to put on makeup with one eye closed it was a total challenge for me and even worse when I had to draw the other eye, the pulse and the vision were failing me but I did what I could haha, with black liquid eyeliner I made the pupils and painted some stripes on my face to give the appearance of a manga drawn by Junji, I also added eyeliner to the spiral, at the moment I hate not having more forehead to be able to better draw the spiral and not suffer for so little space hahaha.
After all the suffering, it is time to take the photos and edit to look like this character (or at least similar) and here we have the results.
WARNING I LOOK REALLY DISTURBING, Ok, no.
I hope you liked it and have no nightmares tonight, thanks for reading!.
