Zombie Makeup How-to Guide & Video

Zombies are one of the hottest Halloween costume looks this year! Follow this makeup tutorial gallery for instructions on how to put on zombie makeup that will make you stand out from the crowd. Please note that some makeup may cause adverse reactions in people with latex allergies.

Shave, wash your face and moisturize, then apply a bite with Gory Flesh from the Deluxe Zombie Makeup Kit. Knead the faux flesh to soften; then apply to skin and shape to form a bite. Or use Flesh Liquid Latex to create peeling "skin"; or Chomped Makeup to add a bite.

Since zombies are dead, they're pretty pale. Using a Stipple Sponge or Makeup Sponge, add a zombie pallor with a thin layer of white face paint from the Deluxe Zombie Makeup Kit, working around your bite wounds.

Now use your sponge to add gray hollows under your chin, along your cheekbones and around your bites. Follow up with some green, so it looks like you're bruised near your bites and decaying.

Deep dark eyes are a signature of the zombie look. Make your eyes look dramatically sunken and hollow by drawing black circles around them, following your natural eye socket.

Zombies eat gory stuff, so their lips are a combination of red and black. First outline your lips in black lipstick, then fill in the center with red. Smudge your lips together to blend the colors.

Now bite into one of the Black Zombie Blood Caps or drip some Black Zombie Blood from the corner of your mouth and down onto your chin so it looks like you just ate something disgusting. Dab some on your bite wounds too.

Take your undead look over the top by dabbing on some green Zombie Rot. Prep it by mixing with warm water according to the instructions. Slather it on before it dries, then dab on the included Zombie Moss anywhere you want a creepy fungal look.

Now that you’re made up, add the Graveyard Zombie Wig. It will go on a lot easier if you slip on a Wig Cap first. Now you’re ready for a Night of the Living Dead.
