With Halloween just around the corner, many people are starting to plan their costumes. And what better way to scare your friends than by transforming yourself into a zombie? Zombie makeup is a classic Halloween costume that never goes out of style, and it’s surprisingly easy to create. In this tutorial, we’ll show you step-by-step how to create a zombie look that will have everyone running for the hills.
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
- White and black face paint
- Red and black lipstick or eyeshadow
- Mascara
- Makeup brushes and sponges
- Small jar of water
- Optional: fake blood and latex wounds
Step 2: Start with a Base
Apply white face paint all over your face with a makeup sponge. Make sure to cover your entire face and blend it into your neck to create a seamless transition. Leave your lips and eyelids unpainted.
Step 3: Create the Zombie Look
Use black face paint to create dark circles under your eyes, hollow out your cheeks, and draw lines around your lips and chin. You can also use the black face paint to fill in your eyebrows and create a sunken-in effect on your forehead.
Next, take a small amount of red lipstick or eyeshadow and blend it into the black lines around your lips and chin to create an irritated, bloody effect.
Step 4: Add Details
Apply mascara to your eyelashes and use it to create clumps and smudges under your eyes. You can also use a makeup brush with black or brown eyeshadow to create a dirty, smoky effect around your eyes.
If you want to take your zombie look to the next level, add fake blood and latex wounds to your face. Apply the fake blood to areas around your mouth, under your eyes, and on your chin to create a bloody, gory effect. You can also use liquid latex to create fake wounds and scars on your face for a more realistic zombie look.
Step 5: Finish the Look
Complete your zombie look by applying black or dark lipstick to your lips. You can also use red or brown lipstick to create a dried-blood effect on your lips and around your mouth. Finish the look by tousling your hair and adding dirt or fake blood to your clothes for a truly terrifying effect.
Conclusion
Creating a zombie look is easy and fun, and it’s the perfect Halloween costume for anyone looking to scare their friends. With the right supplies and a little practice, you can master the art of zombie makeup and create a truly spooky look that will have everyone running for cover.
