What You Will Need:
- Black tooth wax or black face paint
- A small, fine point brush
- Disposable gloves
- Mirror
Step 1: Clean and Prepare
Before applying any black tooth wax or face paint, make sure your teeth are clean and dry. This will help the black color adhere properly and last longer. Use a regular toothbrush and toothpaste to thoroughly brush your teeth.
Step 2: Apply the Black Tooth Wax or Face Paint
If you are using black tooth wax, take a small amount and soften it between your fingertips. Carefully apply it to the front surface of your tooth that you want to blacken. You can shape it to resemble a decayed or sinister tooth. If you prefer using black face paint, dip the fine point brush into the paint and carefully brush it onto your tooth.
Step 3: Blend and Shape
Using the brush or your fingers, gently blend the black tooth wax or face paint to ensure it covers the entire tooth evenly. Pay attention to any visible edges and smooth them out to create a natural-looking black tooth. Use a mirror to check your progress and make adjustments if needed.
Step 4: Let It Dry
Allow the black tooth wax or face paint to dry completely. This usually takes a few minutes, but follow the instructions provided by the product you are using.
Step 5: Reapply or Touch-Up if Needed
Once dry, inspect your newly blackened tooth. If you feel that the color is not intense enough, you can apply another layer of black tooth wax or face paint. Additionally, using a mirror, check for any areas that may have become smudged or worn off during drying. If needed, simply touch up those areas with a bit more black tooth wax or face paint.
Step 6: Remove the Black Tooth Wax or Face Paint
When you are ready to remove the black tooth wax or face paint, simply brush your teeth with water or use a wet cloth to wipe it off. Ensure all traces of black color are gone to avoid staining or discoloration.
