This nun is the opposite of holy. She is scary with a capital S. Planning to scare off people the moment they set their eyes on you? If yes, then the demonic nun with piercing, diabolical eyes from the movie ‘The Nun’ will do the trick.



To get this look right, just don a black-and-white habit (a uniform that monks and nuns wear), cover your eyebrows with a concealer. Next apply white foundation to your face liberally to ensure that you look ghastly pale. Apply coal-black eyeshadow and colour all the areas around your eyes pitch black. As Valak (the nun) has dark lips, make sure you have a tube of black lip-colour nearby.
