DIY Beatrix Crown and Horns + Makeup (Lords Mobile Halloween Look)
Kate Chystykova · Craft Addicted
This cardstock crown and eyeliner-wing tutorial rewards patient crafters far more than casual last-minute costume seekers.
This class sets out to recreate one very specific look: Beatrix, the "Petite Devil" hero from the mobile game Lords Mobile, rendered as a Halloween costume built from cardstock, acrylic paint, and drugstore makeup. It succeeds on its own narrow terms, delivering a homemade crown, a matching pair of horns, and a coordinated eye-and-lip look across ten short lessons, but the appeal lives or dies on how much a viewer cares about that particular character.
Building the Crown and Horns
Five of the ten lessons are dedicated to the crown alone, and that time shows in the level of detail. The process starts with a printable template traced onto cardstock, cut with a mix of small and large scissors, then built in two folded tiers that get glued together. A tiny gold rhombus, folded from a separate scrap of paper, becomes the centerpiece fixed to the top point, and gold acrylic paint is brushed on afterward in loose vertical stripes to suggest metal filigree. A bobby pin is worked into the underside of the bottom band so the finished piece clips into hair rather than needing an elastic or headband. The horns get their own lesson: foam cones base-coated in white over several thin layers, then hand-striped in pink using a narrow brush, with the two colors blended into connecting lines rather than sharp bands. Midway through the project, the recording restarts because of a full camera memory card, and the visible seam in continuity is a fair sign of how unpolished the production is elsewhere too.
The Makeup Half
The makeup lessons move faster and cover less ground than the crown does, which is a mismatch given that eye makeup is the more broadly transferable skill here. The technique centers on a heavy winged liner built in layers: liquid liner first, then a black gel or cream liner packed on top for opacity, with a drop of coconut oil used to help the gel glide smoothly along the lash line and waterline. False lashes go on last, paired with a real and useful reminder to patch-test the lash glue first. Notably, there is no foundation or base makeup step at all. The face is left bare aside from a berry-toned lipstick, a cream blush pressed on with fingertips, and a touch of highlight on the nose and cheekbone, which keeps the routine quick but means anyone wanting a full-face tutorial will need to look elsewhere.
Where the course struggles most is in delivery rather than content. Instructions frequently trail off mid-thought, exact measurements are inconsistent from one segment to the next, and long personal tangents about the game's lore and the teacher's own history with false lashes eat into a runtime that is already tight for two separate crafts. None of this makes the underlying techniques wrong, but it does mean a viewer has to watch closely and sometimes rewind to catch a step that was shown but not clearly narrated. For someone already committed to this specific costume, the crown-building method alone is worth sitting through the rougher patches. For anyone without that specific goal, the niche subject and uneven pacing make it a hard recommendation.
The standout
The layered cardstock crown build, from folding the rhombus centerpiece to gluing the tiers and mounting a bobby pin, is the course's most reusable cosplay-crafting skill.
