Are you looking to transform into a terrifying zombie? Whether it's for Halloween or a zombie-themed party, creating a zombie look is a great way to stand out. Follow these steps to achieve a chilling and realistic zombie makeover!
Start by thoroughly cleansing your face and applying a moisturizer. This will create a smooth base for the makeup application.
Zombies usually have a deathly pallor. Apply a light foundation or mix a white cream-based makeup with your regular foundation to achieve a pale complexion. Blend it evenly over your face and neck, ensuring you cover any exposed skin. Use a sponge or brush for a more even application.
For a haunting effect, apply dark eyeshadow around the eyes, focusing on the eyelids and under-eye area. Use shades of gray, brown, and black to create a sunken and tired appearance. Blend the colors for a more natural look. Then, apply a generous coat of black mascara to your lashes to make your eyes look more intense and menacing.
Creating wounds is essential for a convincing zombie look. To simulate open wounds, use a special effects makeup kit or create your own using tissue paper and liquid latex. Tear small pieces of tissue paper and layer them on your skin, applying liquid latex on top. Blend the edges with your fingers to make them appear more realistic. Wait for the liquid latex to dry, then gently apply foundation over the wounds, matching your skin tone.
A zombie wouldn't be complete without some blood and gore. Apply fake blood generously around the wounds and dripping from the corners of your mouth. You can also add some blood splatter on other parts of your face or body to enhance the overall effect. Experiment with different shades and consistencies of fake blood for a more gruesome look.
Messy, disheveled hair can add to the zombie effect. Tease your hair to create volume and backcomb it for a tangled appearance. Alternatively, you can incorporate rips of fabric or fake cobwebs into your hairstyle to make it look more decayed and eerie.
Take a moment to examine your zombie transformation. You can further enhance the look by adding contacts with special effects, like milky white or bloody red. Consider wearing torn and dirty clothes to complete the ensemble. Walk with a zombie-like gait, dragging your feet and moving slowly to fully embody the character.
Now you're ready to terrify everyone with your zombie look! Enjoy the attention and embrace your undead alter ego. Just remember, it's all in good fun and don't forget to remove your makeup before going to bed!
