The Walking Dead has been on many people's minds lately since the season premier was just 2 days ago.
Now that Halloween is coming up, you have 2 reasons to get zombified! I didn't think a zombie blog would be my first real post, but I didn't want to pass this up. My roommate asked me if I could help out with her video for a class project so I said sure. It ended up that I needed to be a zombie for it. I put on a simple outfit and some makeup and voila! I was ready to scare my entire campus, which I did :) and it was great.
This look is definitely not professional or as creepy as some other extensive makeup jobs are, but it definitely works! Especially if you are in college like me and cannot afford high end stage makeup.
- You want it to look like your skin is decaying so put dark makeup around your eye sockets to make them look sunken and on your temples and underneath your cheek bones to make you look more skeletal.
- For the cut on my forehead, I just put black in the middle and browns on the outside to look like a bruise. Then use red lipstick to glob on the actual cut.
- Add lighter powder in any other areas to make you look paler and ghostly.
- The fake blood was made of corn starch and strawberry ice-cream syrup. It was extremely sticky, but it did the job. It will drip when you first put it on but will eventually stay where it is. For example, I put a glob on my cut which then dripped down to my nose, but then stiffened enough not to drip farther.
- For zombie hair, just use bedhead! Just tease and toss around day-old hair. The stringier and greasier, the better. (Zombies don't take showers.)
- (Optional) Contacts. I have brown eyes so to make it look even creepier, I put it pale green Halloween contacts.
Can you say CHEAP!? You can literally achieve this with things you most likely already have laying around. If you do have to spend a couple extra dollars, scaring students on campus walkways is worth it! Haha
