It only takes a few minutes to make fake rings under your eyes, whether you're using eyeliner or cocoa powder. This is the perfect trick for a ghoulish Halloween costume, or just for spooking your friends because you feel like it.
Steps
Get a black marker; preferably washable.
Draw a rather large smudge on one of your fingers. Make it big, but not very thick.Advertisement
Take another finger on the opposite hand. Rub that on your smudged finger.
Apply the marker to below your eyes carefully. Start at the inside corners of your eyes and work the mark down and out slightly.
Add a much lighter bit. Start from the outside edge down toward the first mark if you want a more extreme effect, or for darker lighting.
