Zombie Makeup

Items needed:

• Liquid latex (optional)
• Fake scar or scar putty
• Face powder
• Red face paint
• Dark red or burgundy lip paint or gloss
• Fake blood
• Red or purple eye shadow
• Disposable sponge or brush
• Eye shadow brush
• Powder brush or powder sponge
• Cosmetic spatula or plastic spoon
• Q-tips

Step 1

Apply the red or purple eye shadow all around your eyes with the eye shadow brush.

Step 2 (optional)

Using your disposable sponge or brush, apply a layer of liquid latex on the area where you want to create the bite. This is optional but helps with removing the fake wound afterward.

Step 3

Using your cosmetic spatula or plastic spoon, apply fake scar or scar putty in a circle, smoothing edges into the skin and leaving the ring thick.

Step 4

Set the fake scar and liquid latex area with face powder using the powder brush.

Step 5

Using the back-end of your plastic spoon or spatula, create teeth marks in the thickest parts of the fake scar.

Step 6

Using a Q-tip, apply red face paint into the teeth marks.

Step 7

Using a Q-tip, dab dark red or burgundy lip paint or gloss over the red face paint. Then, apply fake blood over the teeth marks.

Zombie Bra

• White bra
• Green ruffled trim
• Pink sequin strand
