Now you might be wondering why I'm doing a zombie make-up tutorial on PreppDay Wednesday. A day usually left for emergency preparedness and food storage tips. So I figured whether you are preparing for a rainy day, a natural disaster or a full blown Zombie Apocalypse you'd appreciate these fun zombie how-to's!

Warning:
If your stomach is starting to turn and you are feeling a little sick,
like maybe you are becoming a ZOMBIE yourself...
DO NOT scroll down any farther!
If you love watching The Walking Dead, you are welcome.
You have been warned.
Although there are not as many how-to pictures as I would like this look is created with something different...rolled cotton.

| Syfy |
A fantastically disgusting tutorial with links to her special Zombified Ebay store, although similar products can be bought at your local Halloween store.
 |
| Instructables |
This look requires a few zombie prosthetic's that can be found at any Halloween store. She also uses liquid latex combined with oatmeal for a realistic rotted flesh look. Although this looks really complicated her tutorial makes it easy to look, well, dead!

| Erin Ashley Makeup |
This effect was created using a prosthetic piece for the zipper and the bloody mess is from her home-made gelatin recipe that is less expensive then using this much latex!

I loved when my kids were little and all of their costumes were cute ones picked by me. But when they got older and moved onto the scary costumes I found that I really enjoyed seeing their creativity as they tried to come up with new gross or scary ideas each year.
ReplyDeleteI'm a co-host of the Blog Strut hop. That's where I found you and I'm glad I did.
I am impressed and creeped out at the same time!
