Very Fairy Makeup
Doing makeup is exceedingly popular in the Kingdom of Faerie, just as it is in the mortal realm. Of course the way we do it is quite different (with wands and so forth) than the way you do. But it seems we share many of the same ideas. Let me give you a few little very fairy hints here, and perhaps they’ll be of use to you. Ophelia Fey The first step to any makeup (or costume) is inspiration. Which is all around us. And around you too. Favorite fairy makeup themes include not just butterflies, bats and bugs. But also other winged creatures such as dragons and mythical birds, even fire. In fact, creatures from myths and legends lend us loads of ideas. Then there are flowers (black roses are spectacular), foliage of all sorts, berries and vines. Many of our species, of course, you do not have in your dimension. But you get the idea. Naturally, fairies who live in or near the sea prefer fish and seashell motifs. Then there are the sun, moon and stars set. Spiders and serpents are really “in” among a certain group. Flames are the favorite with fire fairies of course (they really have a challenge making makeup last, so have developed specialized procedures that I won’t go into here since humans could never withstand them). Perhaps it's impossible for mortals to create makeup just like fairies do. But we have some excellent easy fairy makeup ideas for you. Make sure you read all about it. Including if you are a fairy -- we have many secret tips for you. 
Fairies often do their own makeup. Yes, we even like to have parties. But for special occasions or for complicated concepts, we seek out an artist who specializes in fairy makeup. Take a look at some of the samples below. Of course, if you’re a mortal you may have to modify them. And frankly, I’m not sure how you’d accomplish some of it, like embedding a glittered tarantula into your cheek. I suppose you could paint it on, but it’s just not quite the same. That’s where a wand would come in handy. Now let's take a look at some design ideas. I've recruited some fairies that have skin tones closer to those of humans. It would be more difficult to get a sense of design for mortals, with a bright orange or purple fairy.
Autumn is a favorite time for fairy makeup. The colors are glorious, needless to say. Here we have vivid sumac leaves on the forehead with a centered blood opal (in this case from natural opals, no blood was used). The point of each sumac leaf additionally has a garnet jewel. Amber and garnet studs enhance the eyebrows, with the inner edge of each brow having a primary stud of ruby. An amber stud has also been imbedded above the upper lip. Glitter from various crystals, plus gold, has been painted in a scroll work design down the left temple and cheek, with a smaller design by the right eye for balance. Also across the collarbone. A generous amount of glitter was also applied to the eyelids. Moon drops hang from the ears. A special moon glint has been added to the iris of the eye. Looks great for the autumn equinox festivals.
