A good Halloween costume party wouldn't be complete without Zombie makeup as a zombie. Brought to mass-popularity by George A Romero's Night of the Living Dead series, zombies have been a subject of mystery and intrigue that has only continued to increase in modern times. There are at least a few takes on what a zombie should look like but most would agree that the iconic pale skin, Halloween Makeup, and bloodstained lips universally depict undead creatures of the night.
For your eyes, you can grab a pair of wildly crazy white contacts or even sclera contacts to make your eyes look like those of the undead. After all, normal human beings possess the natural eye hues that we are accustomed to like blue, brown and even grey. But having white contacts on your eyes will reveal the hidden undead inside you. You definitely will stand out by having your eye color match the living dead.
Lots of people without much experience in applying scary makeup are intimidated by the process. This is something that we understand when writing our Halloween makeup tips.
Tips for getting your Halloween makeup right - Focus on accentuating one feature and let the rest of your face complement that feature. For example create a bold lip paired with soft eye makeup to draw attention to your perfect pout. Start by contouring your eyes and cheeks with Golden Nova and Stellar Mocha Luster Powder. These soft shimmery colors will give definition without overpowering the lips. Next, line then fill in your lips with the Red Liner Pencil.
Focus on how your walk is effected by the way you died. Think of how your Halloween makeup is actually about how your character died. The best zombies tell a storied death. Remember to have a good gait, saunter around just like your fellow creatures of the night.
If you want the ultimate transformation Latex Prosthetic s are excellent options but do require a bit more work than a basic makeup application. If gluing things to your face doesn't appeal to you or you just want your transformation to happen a little quicker you can eliminate the prosthetic and instead opt for the simplicity of Crème Foundation Makeup set with Translucent Powder. Eyes are essential to this look, so be sure to emphasize them with Black Smoke and White Whip UltraSilk Eye Shadows.
Make sure your makeup, and ideas are complimented by the clothing you wear. A good zombie knows her fashion and will have the correct clothing for Halloween. Think bloodied, torn clothing but not ragged. For a freshly dead zombie go for every day clothes that you can find at the thrift store. If you want to be a long dead zombie, grab a suit jacket and slacks. Be careful not to scare your unsuspecting neighbors by being too realistic with your character.
