Get this look:
- Okay so for step number one you have a few different options. I suggest using liquid latex which can be found at your local Halloween store. You can also use plain old elmers glue or eye lash glue (which is what I used). Using the sponge, stipple the glue on to desired areas of the skin (eyes or forehead) if you stretch the skin while doing this after the glue is dried it will give you a wrinkled effect...you can also rub the glue after its dried to add texture. Use a blow dryer on cool to help the drying process along.
- Mix dried oatmeal with the same glue you used and add little patches of it to desired areas of the face. I did it around the mouth and on the forehead for a gruesome effect!
- Rip little pieces of tissue or toilet paper. Paint it on in little patches all over the face for texture. Use the glue to get all the edges down.
- Add any other cuts or prosthetic pieces you want to use. I made an extra wax cut on the forehead.
- Now that you have your main "injuries" take your sponge and stipple the glue over the rest of the face.
- Once all the glue is dried take a powder puff and powder everything so that it's not sticky.
- Now for the face painting... Like I said before, get creative. The colors you use here depend on what kind of zombie you want to be. For freshly dead try using foundation a few shades lighter than your skin tone. You could also use gray or white face paint. I used a mixture of foundation and green paint.When you're applying the color stipple with the sponge don't smear it all over your face. Don't be afraid to use multiple colors it will only add more texture and make your zombie face even better!
- Add black or gray eyeshadow around the eyes mouth or contours of the face.
- I also stippled vaseline over the cuts to give them a "wet" look
- Now for the best part! Take some fake blood and splatter it all over your wounds!
- If you have hair (my dad doesn't) =) slather some conditioner or hair wax to grease it up a little.
- Finish it off with some zombie attire and you're ready to roam the streets with the dead.
