zombie makeup, making scars out of leftover latex?
Anyone have any tips on creating zombie/dead person makeup? I found some instructions for bruises, which look amazing - it really helps with that blood-pooled look that corpses get. I can't stand the cheap halloween paint that never blends, cracks and everything sticks to.
Anyone know if acrylic paint is safe to use, will it stain?
I'm using pale foundation with white goth powder on top, purple and gray eyeshadow for sunken cheeks and other contours. Then red lipliner around the eyelids, red lipstick with purple, brown and green eyeshadow blended on top for the bruises. I also bought some purple liquid liner to make tiny little veins...but it's not so smooth.
I mostly need help with the eyes. I've been watching DVD extras for a lot of horror movies and watching how they apply the makeup. But since I'm a girl who wears eyeshadow everyday, I can't keep myself from basically doing my regular eyeshadow when I'm trying to fix up my eyes. I'm wanting more realistic, dark, sunken in eyes rather than pretty makeup eyes.
my husband has some leftover latex he was making masks out of, we were thinking of getting some out and making our own scar and painting it ourselves. Anyone know what I should use to make it stick to my skin?
I've been searching around the internet for pictures and trying to figure this out myself, but then (two days before Halloween of course) decide to ask people who probably know from experience :) So any little bit helps. I love all the little details about costumes...even if I'm the only one who notices.
