Befriend the Veil: Transform Into Valak with Makeup Magic! 🎭
Oh, the horror of opening your makeup drawer and realizing you’ve yet to master the art of looking like a demon. Fear not, makeup aficionados of the netherworld! With this fantastical guide inspired by the ingeniously creepy work of Eleanor Sabaduquia on the set of The Conjuring 2, you’ll quickly transcend your earthly beauty into something otherworldly. Let’s dive into this Valak makeup tutorial. Spoiler alert: It’s scarily spectacular. 👻
Getting Ready to Conjure: Materials & Magic Wands 🧙♀️
Before we begin our hellish transformation, let’s gather your arsenal of beauty tools—which, coincidentally, double as tools of terror. Imagine walking into Sephora and saying, “Hey, I’m here to look like a demonic nun!” Oh, the confusion on their faces! Here’s what you need:
- A wig cap (because demons hate messy hair)
- A glue stick (not just for preschoolers, folks)
- Translucent powder and a large powder puff
- An optional hair dryer (speed-demons, unite!)
- A Rob Burman aquiline nose appliance, if your nose isn’t already terrifying enough
- Disposable makeup sponge and red stipple sponge (for that fresh-from-hell look)
- White and yellow cream paint (Ben Nye color wheel is your hellacious hero)
- Black eyeshadow from Makeup Geek (shade: Corrupt because, what else?)
- NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean or any go-to black cream paint
- A nun or Mother Superior costume, because who doesn’t have one lying around, right?
- Scarily appropriate yellow circle contact lenses to seal the deal
Crafting the Valak Vibe: Paint It, Blend It, Scare Them ☠️
Once you have your supplies, it’s showtime! Think of this as a cheeky séance where vanity meets villainy, and all your friends suddenly want to know where you got those killer contacts.
Step 1: Slip that wig cap on and ensure not a hair is out of place. Demons prefer sleek hairdos.
Step 2: Transform your nose with appliance precision. You want it to look like you’ve developed a penchant for haunting monasteries.
Step 3: Use the glue stick on your brows—Valak isn’t winning any best-eyebrow awards any time soon.
Step 4: Get paintin’! Cover your face in white and yellow cream paint. Use the powder to set your devilishly delightful canvas.
Step 5: Use the red stipple sponge for your gory details. Your face should now have the texture and appeal of an ancient manuscript saying “DO NOT OPEN.”
Step 6: Apply black eyeshadow liberally and with artistic rage. Then mix it with the eye pencil to get that perfectly unnerving stare.
Step 7: Slip into that nun costume (or your regular Tuesday night look—no judgment here) and pop in the yellow lenses for the pièce de résistance. Voilà! You’re now ready to haunt the dreams of your nearest and dearest.
