Halloween: Zombie

So here's the zombie look I did!

 

Yes the eyes are photoshopped, I wanted him to have white contact lenses but since he wears corrective lenses he couldn't :( 

So for this look I firstly used liquid latex and tissue paper to create the cuts and rough skin texture. White face paint went over the top, then black, brown, yellow, purple and red eyeshadows on the skin to create bruises and a mottled effect. I darkened the eyes with eyeliner and black and brown eyeshadows, and used gel eyeliner to create the wrinkles around the forehead/nose area, and to underline where I was going to put blood. Then gel blood on the cuts and stippled onto the face in random areas. Very happy with this look, just wish we could have used contacts, they look so effective!

My plan for halloween is a scary movie marathon, I love a good horror movie!

Halloween: Skull

Happy Halloween guys! I know it's not technically Halloween yet but I celebrated this weekend with a night out with lots of makeup. I did a zombie look on a friend and on myself I did a skull/skeleton look. I didn't have much time to get it done and hadn't tried it out before this so there are things that I would change if I did it again but I was pretty happy with the results-

I initally used a white water based face paint I got from a costume shop but it didn't go on evenly so I had to improvise with random white products I had in my kit. Powdered that down with a very pale face powder then used MUA 3 in 1 Contour Pen to sketch out the basic design, then used Collection 2000 Lasting Colour Gel Liner Black to fill in and shade everything else.

Next up is the zombie look!
