Prepare your skin in depth
Before you start applying makeup, it is essential to properly prepare your skin. Clean your face thoroughly to remove impurities and dead cells. Exfoliate lightly to allow the makeup to adhere better. Moisturize with a rich cream to nourish and soften the skin. Apply a foundation base to even out your complexion and make your makeup last. Take the time to massage your features to relax them before transforming them! Get a pale, undead complexion
For a perfect cadaverous complexion
Apply a white foundation all over your face and neck for an ultra-pale complexion. Blend a dull gray blush onto your temples, around your eyes, and on your cheekbones. Hollow out your cheeks with a brown blush and bronze your forehead for a decomposed effect. Draw purple circles under your eyes and at the corners of your lips for a sickly look.
Don't hesitate to layer the products to accentuate the effect of dead, discolored skin.
Reproduce bloody raw flesh
To represent the rotting flesh of a zombie, reproduce bloody wounds. Apply latex glue to the skin and let it dry to create a “skin” to tear off. Using a spreader, gently lift the latex to imitate the detached flesh. Surround the fake wound with red and black in gradient to represent the blood and damaged flesh. Add fake blood that flows to reinforce the effect. Also consider gluing it to the hair.
You can also glue ready-made wound prostheses.
Create a disturbing glassy look
For an undead look.. Surround your eyes with black eyeshadow and blend with gray for a glassy effect. Draw a few blood veins that start from the eyes with a red pencil. Apply an opaque gray or white contact lens for a piercing look. Glue a few drops of fake blood that flow from your eyes for a terrifying result.
Don't hesitate to really load up the eyes, the central point of the makeup.
Add all the scary details
To complete your transformation, consider adding... Glue on the face for an ultra-realistic half-torn skin effect. A few bloody teeth around the mouth for a torn flesh effect. Slime or blood-soaked gauze on wounds. Blackened and broken nails to reinforce the cadaverous appearance of the hand. Dust or dirt on the face to simulate the zombie emerging from its grave.
It's in the details that the realism of your makeup lies
The realism of your zombie makeup is in the details. To achieve this rotten effect, you need to create wounds and scars on your face. To make your skin look pale and decayed, use a foundation that is lighter than your natural skin tone. Then, use dark shadows around your cheeks, temples, and under your eyes to create a sunken, sickly effect.
To create the illusion of rotting skin, use a mixture of gray, green, and brown to create areas of decay on your face. Apply these colors in small touches around wounds and scars for a realistic effect. You can also use fake blood to enhance the bloody appearance of certain areas of the face.
Setting and keeping your makeup on all night is essential to staying spooky all night long. Here are some tips to ensure your zombie makeup lasts a long time:
Before you start your makeup, apply a thin layer of makeup setting spray all over your face. This will help prepare your skin and set the products that follow.
Lightly dust shiny areas of your face, especially areas where you've used wet or creamy products. This will help prevent unsightly streaks and help your makeup last longer.
Use waterproof, long-lasting and resistant concealer products. These products are specially designed to withstand extreme conditions and sweat, ensuring your makeup will stay in place all night long.
Avoid touching your face too much once your makeup is applied, as this can damage it. If your makeup gets damaged during the evening, use a pressed powder to repair the damage and re-set the faulty makeup.
By following these tips, you can be sure that your rotten zombie makeup will remain as scary all Halloween night long. So, get ready to scare and impress all your friends with this terrifying and realistic look!
