This tutorial walks you through ten steps to achieve a zombie makeup effect. It covers foundation, eyeshadow contouring, creating raised bumps with glue, and building a ragged wound from toilet paper. The final step explains how to make fake blood with honey and food coloring for a gory finish.

Directions

  1. Start with a very light foundation. Then take a greenish eyeshadow (shade 1 from the palette shown at the end) and spread it over your face to cover, but do not blend it evenly.
  2. Use eyeshadow number 2 to outline the lower eyelid and the under-eye area.
  3. Apply shade 3 over shade 2, and also put it underneath your lips.
  4. Strongly outline your eyes with shade 4. Then, with your face in the exact position shown in my photo, contour your cheekbones and collarbones using the same shade to achieve a sickly, drained look.
  5. Cut small pieces of paper glue and place them on your face to create raised little bumps.
  6. Take one square of toilet paper and separate it into layers until you have a very thin sheet. Tear it into pieces and stick them on to form a ragged, fringed effect.
  7. Apply foundation over most of the paper pieces, arranging them so that the edges stick up.
  8. Apply black eyeliner in the center of the paper area, using the brush to create a hole, and leave the fringed edges as is to resemble dead skin.
  9. Using a brush, apply red lipstick and spread it chaotically. Then outline the 'wound' on the outside with black eyeshadow, also messily.
  10. To make fake blood: I used water, maple syrup, food coloring, and a bit of flour to try to thicken it, but it ended up too light and runny because I added too much water. My suggestion is to use only honey and food coloring. If you have gel food coloring, add a little water. If using liquid coloring, add a bit of black eyeliner for a darker hue and skip the water—just use honey.
