How to plan your Mardi Gras makeup

Pick either the eyes or the body jewels as the main event, then match the colours to your outfit from Mardi Gras dress up. Apply eye cream first, then press eye jewels at the outer corners, and add face or body jewels last so they sit on clean, dry skin. Hair chalk adds a streak of colour if you are not wearing a wig from our Mardi Gras wigs. Do a patch test a day or two before and follow the packet directions.
