Make up of the Zombie

The for things you need to apply the zombie make-up is :
  • Liquid Latex
  • Toilet Paper
  • A make-up kit
The first step is applying the liquid latex for a base layer; this is so that the toilet paper sticks to the actors face. Then by applying the toilet paper, The toilet paper gives the wrinkled face effect for the 'back from the dead' look.

By applying more liquid latex to the toilet paper this makes it the toilet paper solidify, so that the paper sticks more securely to the actors face.
applying this in several places around the face where you would want the scars/wrinkles to be.we then tear the toilet paper then peel back then apply some more liquid latex to give the effect of torn skin.the next stage is to apply white makeup over all the toilet paper to act like a canvas for the make up. Applying dark make-up around the eye makes him less human which the audience will detach themselves from this character.
then putting red and purple make up in the cuts to make it look like blood. Then you will have to add skin tone to the toilet paper to blend into the face. Adding greens, blues and yellows will give skin tone a realistic effect.then by adding fake blood around the mouth and scars, this makes him look like a blood thirsty animal.
