Q&A for How to Look Like a Zombie

Use toilet paper and liquid latex! Take a section of toilet paper and split it apart so it's the very thinnest it can be. Then, draw a unique shape on your skin (like the shape of a country). Apply the thin toilet paper to the shape with liquid latex, ripping it along the edges of the outline to create a ridge. This makes it look like the flesh has fallen at a different level to skin. Fill in the inside of that ridge with brown blood to finish off the look.

If you can't use face paint, loose powder is a good substitute! It gives you a good mix of colors including skin tone and white. I also use another method where I mix foundation and eye shadow to create a white "paint."

Get some old clothes from a thrift store that you can tear and rip apart.

You can buy fake blood rather than make it.

You can use makeup. Paint your face gray, and use gray lipstick. Add touches of red wherever you want. Tatter up a shirt and a pair of jeans some jeans, wear some old shoes, and you're done.

The best substitute would likely be honey, but you'd need more food coloring to counter its golden color.

Just try to get as creative as possible. Use red marker. If that doesn't work, cut up pieces of paper and color them red (try make it look as realistic as possible) and glue or staple them to your clothing.

It is not real blood, but if you can't use fake blood, you could use red makeup, washable red markers, mashed up strawberries, mashed up red jello, or food coloring.

Yes. Food colouring can be removed quite easily. Try using makeup remover, or soap and a cloth.

Try buying a scary mask at a halloween or party store. Or you can use edible ingredients as make up.

Watch a few zombie movies to get the feel of the zombie’s stagger. Imagine you’ve sprained your ankle and don’t want to put much weight on one of your feet.
