Easy Zombie Makeup (No Latex Required)
Intro: Easy Zombie Makeup (No Latex Required)
It is easy to look very dead with common household 'makeup'. Follow these steps to look like you were just exhumed.
All you need is:
Tissue paper (the gift wrap kind)
Light corn syrup (aka Karo Syrup)
Nesquik powder
Cocoa powder
Possibly some 'normal' powder makeup/eyeshadow and a grease pencil
Spray temporary hair coloring
Thrift Store Clothes
Miscellaneous Spray Paint

STEP 1: Start Fresh
STEP 2: Hair Color
STEP 3: Wrinkles and Rot
Make sure to create folds and lots of 3D relief. Accentuate areas where wrinkles would occur, especially under the chin and on the neck.
STEP 4: Blow Dry to Set
STEP 5: Add Color
Example makeup was done with chocolate milk and cocoa powders with very little traditional makeup. Chocolate works well but beware that those you meet may want to take a bite out of you.
Lips were done with a cheap 'halloween' grease pencil.
STEP 6: Clothes Make the Man (or Woman)
When the party is over the make up comes off surprisingly quickly as the corn syrup dissolves easily with water.
ENJOY!

Great suggestion. I never thought of it. I guess almost any 'dead' 'character' costume can benefit from this makeup.
