Our own summary of the original — the full post and photos live at lovethispic.com.
This tutorial walks you through creating a complete werewolf transformation, from a pale base to textured prosthetics and fierce eyes. You'll use contouring, liquid latex, and contact lenses to achieve a gaunt, animalistic appearance. Finish with heavy eye makeup and dark muzzle colors for a truly scary effect.
Directions
- Start with a white or very pale foundation all over the face to mimic an undead complexion.
- Use dark contouring makeup around your eyes, nose, and cheekbones to create a gaunt, beast-like facial structure.
- Attach prosthetic pieces or build up texture with liquid latex and tissue paper to form scars, wrinkles, and a snout.
- Color your nose and lips using deep, shiny shades to imitate a creature's muzzle.
- Put in contact lenses that have yellow or red irises to achieve the werewolf eye look.
- Apply dark eyeshadow and liner to craft heavy, menacing eye sockets and streaks that resemble fur.
