Halloween is just around the corner, and if you’re still looking for the perfect costume, why not try a classic zombie look? It’s easy to achieve with some simple makeup techniques and a few household items.
Step 1: Base Makeup
Start by applying a base layer of pale foundation or white face paint. This will give you that classic zombie look, as if you’ve just risen from the grave.
Step 2: Dark Circles
Add some dark circles under your eyes using black or dark brown eyeshadow. You can also use a pencil eyeliner or gel liner for a more dramatic effect. Blend well to create a sunken, hollow look.
Step 3: Contouring
Use a dark gray or green eyeshadow to contour your cheekbones, forehead, and jawline. This will create that signature zombie look of decaying skin and bones.
Step 4: Blood and Gore
Add some fake blood to your look for that extra touch of gore. You can use store-bought fake blood or make your own with corn syrup and red food coloring. Apply it around your mouth and on your clothes for a more realistic effect.
Step 5: Special Effects Makeup
If you want to take your zombie look to the next level, try some special effects makeup. You can create wounds and scars using liquid latex and tissue paper, or use prosthetic pieces for a more realistic effect.
Step 6: Hair and Clothes
Complete your look by adding some finishing touches to your hair and clothes. Tease your hair to create a messy, undead look, and rip up some old clothes to create a tattered, zombie-like outfit.
With these easy makeup techniques, you can create the ultimate zombie look for Halloween or any other spooky occasion. Have fun and get creative!
