Hello everyone! Decided to do my first practice for my Halloween costume, first ever try at this sort of makeup. It's based on Twenty One Pilots and the Blurryface album, I was going to do them separately but did the all in one go instead. I'll also post the picture that was my inspiration too.
Products -

EYES -
W7 '10 out of 10 - Browns' palette
NYX 'Rust' eyeshadow single
NYX round tube lipstick in 'snow White'
Rimmel London Kate Moss in '01'

BROWS -
Freedom Cosmetics brow pomade in Ash Brown

FACE -
L'Or?al infallible matte foundation in shade 10 'porcelain'
Collection lasting perfection concealer in shade 'fair'
Estee Lauder 'sumptuous extreme' mascara
Freedom Cosmetics pro strobe cream contour kit
Sleek powder contour kit in 'light'

NECK/HANDS-
MUA lipstick in 'Raven'
No7 eyeshadow single in 'Carbon matte'

To achieve this look, I used an angled eyeliner brush to apply my brow pomade, filling in areas that needed a bit of product and fading the front with the excess product and a spooly brush. I applied the infallible foundation all over my face to even my skin tone. I then applied the lasting perfection concealer under my eyebrows and on my nose to conceal any areas I feel needed more coverage. I then applied an ash brown shade from the W7 palette all over my lid, crease and under my eyes to create a shadowed effect and then applied NYX Snow White on my lash line, lid and under my eyes, packing it on to create a darker red. I then faded out Snow White with Rimmel London 01, applying this to my lower under eye and crease. I packed on NYX Rust all over my lid, crease and lower lash line to add more depth and longevity. I then applied one coat of the Estee Lauder sumptuous extreme mascara to define my lashes but keep the masculine look I was going for.
Using the same W7 palette and shade, I used this to create a shadowed effect on my upper lip area and jawline as this created the look of stubble (as seen in my inspiration picture). I also used the Freedom cream contour kit and Sleek powder contour kit to create a masculine chiselled look under my cheekbones.
I created the look for the neck and hands by applying black lipstick and blending them out. I set this with No7 eyeshadow in Carbon matte.

My kimono and black top is from H&M and my jeans are Forever 21.

As this is my first attempt at this, I would love some feedback and constructive criticism. It isn't perfect and there's definitely areas I would like to improve.

Thanks in advance x

Amazing! Only thing I would change is make your brows a little thinner because they have very thin brows :) otherwise excellent job.
