Unfortunately in the country I live in, we don't really celebrate stuff like Halloween. That's also pretty much why I won't even bother getting a costume. BUT however, I decided to do a little makeup on myself with the idea of...

STITCHED LIPS: HOW TO

(*Note that I learnt this from a video on Youtube and just thought i'd share it with y'all)

A basic preview of how it looks like after I was done 

Things you will need/Things I used 

-Thread (preferably black but I used brown and I got that sort of bloody effect which was cool)

-Eyelash glue or whatever glue that you're okay with (I used nail polish surprisingly)

-Red and brown face paint (eyeshadows would work fine too) 

-A big needle (this just gives a more realistic effect to the overall look)

-Compressed powder or concealer (as long as it'd make your lips look pale)

Now let's start!

1.   Cut the thread into smaller lengths. If you're using thin thread, then it'd be best to thicken the thread by glueing it with at least another piece. This'd make the thread much more visible. By smaller lengths I mean measure it yourself from the top of your lips to the bottom. You may need 7 but in the picture above, I only used 5. It still works. Whatever your heart desires.

*Reminder: If you happen to have concealer, just dab it around your lips to make it look pale or just use compressed powder and dab that on instead!

2.  Next, dab some glue on the end of the strings and stick it horizontally starting from the middle. As you reach the corners of your mouth, you might notice you'd need to readjust the thread length so don't worry just cut a little bit off. 

3.  Once you're done with that, leave it to dry 

4.  Now for the makeup. Use brown paint or eyeshadow (whatever you're using) and dab it on the ends of where the threads are. This gives a realistic illusion that it's a scar or a hole in where your thread pops out. Then, cleverly use the red paint to make it look as if it's bleeding or just really red from all that stitching (you can also just dab it on).

5.  Lastly, attach the big needle to another piece of long thread and glue the other end on. It'd be hanging around but it does make the look creepier than it already is!

You can use filters to enhance the creepy disgusting look like I did
