Smashed face effect
Zombie makeup at home is very scary and spectacular when using liquid latex. This is a proven tool for translating the most exciting Halloween ideas. To create the effect of a crushed face, you will have to work with latex “pieces of skin”.
1. Draw a circle of liquid latex on a ceramic plate.
2. Using a brush, lightly blend the latex towards the center of the circle, gradually making the layer thinner. Wait for it to dry.
3. Apply another layer to the circle, and blend it with a brush towards the center.
4. When the holey circle dries, carefully remove it from the plate.
5. Glue a piece of latex on your face with make-up glue.
6. Twist the thin strips from the scraps of paper towels and stick them under the edges of the latex circle so that it protrudes. Blot the edges with artificial blood or red paint with glue for fixing.
7. Using paper towels and red paint (artificial blood), smear your face and décolleté.
8. Concealer hide the transitions between the outer edges of the latex and your skin.
9. Make up on the face red, yellow and purple spots, bruises, and zombie makeup, at home done, ready.
The effect of burn holes
They will become a spectacular addition to your image, whether it's a make-up on your face (scary zombies with burns) or on your neck, arms, and décolleté. Follow the step-by-step instructions and everything will work out.
1. Thinly apply liquid latex at the site of the alleged burn with a hole. Let it dry.
2. Lift the center of the dried latex and pull it away from the skin to make a small bubble.
3. Toothpick a bubble and tear a hole of the desired size. You can use nail scissors.
4. Take small pieces of toilet paper and fill them with a wound to give it volume and add white tuberosity from the inside.
5. Apply black shadows to the skin around the torn hole.
6. Cover the inside of the wound with red paint or artificial blood, and treat the area around.
7. Use red and purple eye shadow or lipstick to draw bruises around the burn.
8. Powder everything with baby talcum powder to fix the effect.
Bonus: if you have a cigarette, you can stick it to the wound with make-up glue.
Halloween Makeup: Zombie Risen from the Ashes
This image can be made immediately after work, without leaving the office, and go to a festive party. Prepare the ashes from paper in advance, or take some from the fireplace.
1. Apply gray-white spots from the edges of the face with a sponge to get a dead skin tone.
2. Draw the wounds and bruises on the cheeks, chin to prepare the basis of the image.
3. Apply a little cream or foundation under the sponge under the makeup and blot the area where you plan to place areas with ash.
4. Apply it to still wet makeup. Wait for it to dry.
6. Be careful not to get ash in your eyes. Apply it randomly on the suit, and the image is ready.
The effect of cuts on the wrists
How to make a zombie make it look as natural and scary in the whole image? Add makeup not only to your face, but also to your hands, decorating your wrists with bloody cuts.
1. Thinly apply liquid latex. Wait for it to dry.
2. Pull the latex in the middle and cut with scissors. So that from under your skin was visible.
3. Paint it black first, then red, using makeup or lipstick.
4. Blot small pieces of a kitchen towel with red paint or artificial blood and glue them inside the cut with the help of make-up glue.
5. Using the corrector, blend the color transitions between the makeup and your natural skin around the edges.
6. Draw thin trickles or streaks of blood from the cut.
The effect of an extensive burn with blisters
Extensive burns decorating the zombie make-up look very scary. At home, this effect will be no harder than the rest.
Bursting blisters
1. Thinly apply liquid latex. Wait for it to dry.
2. Thinly apply another layer of latex over the first. Wait for it to dry.
3. Using a toothpick, lift the second layer in different places to create blisters.
4. Puncture and tear some blisters to give them the appearance of bursting.
5. Make holes of different sizes.
Do-it-yourself zombie makeup will be easier if you practice a few days before the final application. So, the complex effects that are planned to be done on the face can be first practiced on the arms or legs.
Blisters
1. Lift up a little latex from the skin to create a bubble. Do not pierce it.
2. Take a piece of paper towel and insert it into the whole bubble through the already existing cuts.
3. Slowly fill the bubble with pieces of towel so that it does not burst.
4. When the bubble reaches the desired size, stop and move on to another.
Charred skin
one. Add red color to the design of the holes in the burn.
2. Give your skin a charred look with a layer of black and then red paint or makeup.
3. Then, again, carefully draw the burns with black accents.
4. Sprinkle the wound with pre-prepared ash to get the most realistic effect. Halloween makeup (zombie style) will be a hit in your performance at the festive party.
And of course, any effect will be incomplete without a carefully selected style in clothing and accessories. A very frightening make-up looks in contrast with clothes in the images of a child, a sexual beauty, a cover girl or a doll.
