It's interesting:
"Now, I think you'll agree, after seeing the amount of free booze available at this wedding, that it's a good job it's a Bank Holiday this weekend. And if you do ..."

The band Kiss is well known for their music and on-stage antics. Even more recognizable is the make-up band members wear when performing. Gene Simmons' popular makeup design consists of two starburst-like shapes around his eyes and a faux widow's peak. The black and white design is fairly simple once you draw the design on your face.

Does this Spark an idea?

Things You'll Need

• Black face paint
• White face paint
• Black face-paint marker, or other washable marker
• Black lipstick

Instructions

1. • 1

     Draw a "V" from your hairline toward the center of your forehead with a black, washable marker. The mark should resemble a fairly large widow's peak.

   • 2

     Draw symmetrical shapes around your eyes, starting with a vertical line along the bridge of your nose. The line should begin at the same level as your eyebrow, and continue down to the tip of your nose.

   • 3

     Draw a curved, zigzag line connected to the tip of the line along your nose. The zigzag should contour the widow's peak and move up toward your hairline. There should be about four curved, skinny peaks along your hair line aimed toward the center of your forehead.

   • 4

     Continue the line down toward the outer corner of your eye and make another peak curved upward. This peak should be significantly smaller than the peaks along your hairline. Draw another peak starting at the outer corner of your eye, curved downward.

   • 5

     To finish the shape around the eye, draw one more curved downward-facing peak (to mirror the peaks along your hairline). Draw the last peak that will join the bottom of the vertical line on your nose. Draw the same design around your other eye to create the illusion of a mirrored design.

   • 6

     Using white face paint, color in the rest of your face, excluding the interior of your widow's peak and the designs around your eyes. Color in your widow's peak and the design around your eyes with black face paint. Color your lips with black lipstick.

Tips &- Warnings

• You should not be able to see any natural skin tone once you have completed the Kiss design.

  For added affect, temporarily dye your hair black.
