Sketch out your eye sockets and face shape with white. Fill everything in with white face paint, and set it with a translucent powder. Paint your eye sockets and the area around your white face with a black paint.
Using a white face paint, paint a long, skinny line along the center of your neck, and paint the exterior black. Using black, extend your nostrils up, and to a point. Draw your stitch lines out from the corners of your mouth, and create your stitch path mark.
Using black eyeshadow, add some dimension around your eye sockets, across the bridge of your nose and down your neck. Throw on your costume, and you're good to go!

Sally Makeup Tutorial Video Transcription
Sally doesn't have any eyebrows, so if you have prominent brows, we'll want to cover those. You can do this with a gluestick, pressed powder, and concealer.
Paint your face and exposed skin blue. Set the makeup with translucent powder. To create Sally's big, round, deep-set eyes, use shades of blue and purple. Contour your face and neck using those same shade of blue and purple.Focus on your cheekbones, jawline, nose, temples, and down either side of the center of your neck.
Paint a deep red lip. Using black eyeshadow, create the lines of your stitches. One diagonally across the forehead, and one on either side of your mouth in a smile shape. Make your stitch hash marks.
To make your eyes appear larger, apply a white to your water line. Use that same white to give your stitches some dimension.
One of the more prominent features on Sally's face is her big, spiky eyelash. Create the look easily with some scissors and black construction paper. Apply with some eyelash glue. Top with your wig, grab your favorite pet, and you're ready to go!
