As Realistic as Zombie Makeup Gets!

Whether you're going to a party, making a zombie movie, having a photoshoot, holding a Zombie March, or you just want to mess with the general public, zombie makeup is always a fun way to spend an afternoon.

YOU WILL NEED:
--Red, yellow, blue, and black stage makeup
--White cream stage makeup
--Green cream stage makeup
--Assorted sponges and tissues
--Something to use for blood (I use red gel food coloring - the kind that comes in a tube. It doesn't taste bad and it won't stain my skin)
--Red lipliner or a red watercolor pencil
--baby powder and a face puff

Step 1: WASH YOUR FACE

Washing your face will help the makeup stick better.

i really liked this tutorial. im going to be starting a youtube channel involving zombies so this will help alot with the realistic look. 9/10

[Tupulov]

Well done! More please.

[SteampunkToreador]

Apparently you use a brand of lipliner that is safe to use around the eyes. My wife read somewhere that if it's red and designed to be used around the lips, it shouldn't be used around the eyes, and if it's blue and designed to be used around the eyes, it shouldn't be used around the lips. Something to do with the compounds used to make the pigments that cause irritation to the respective areas.

Great 'ible, though!

I like the idea of screwing with the general public... I think I'm gonna get some friends together some time soon and wander around our town all done up like zombies. hahahaha... i love screwing with people.

[Anthonybrato]

[red-king]

[mr00realist]

[Maco]

Is there a way i could make my skin look not as green as yours but still realistic. -Mac

[abandon your idols]

use less green with the foundation?

[elluart0609]

make it more yellowish or just pale and whitish.

[beanner]

Looks pretty good. You should consider maybe darkening around your eyes and maybe shading out your cheek bones a little bit.

[fleanine]

somehow this zombie costume reminds me of the motivational poster. just an observation.

[goodernst]

i couldn't say that someone may freak me or even like me for it :)

[grubeater]

I'm going to be a zombie this halloween so thanks for the instructable! :-D
