This Scary Makeup Tutorial Recreates Silence of the Lambs

Sephora Pro Helen Phillips put together this scary makeup tutorial recreating the Silence of the Lambs movie poster.

The 1991 horrific thriller starred Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling, an FBI hopeful who seeks counsel from the imprisoned Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) in order to catch a serial killer at large.

The tutorial begins by sketching the outline of the moth over your lips and chin. Fill the moth in with several shades of shimmering eye shadow, and then go over the outline once more with liquid liner to make the lines sharper and more defined. Finish by painting on the white base, using an eye shadow brush to carefully fill in the spaces near the moth. Hello, Clarice!
