At the weekend it was the Bristol Zombie Walk and I had such a good time last year (if you ignored the fractured radial head that is) that there was no way I was missing it this time round. After all who doesn't want to dress up as a member of the undead and lurch through a city centre, senselessly scaring innocent passersby?
This look is actually fairly simple to create with some basic makeup, acrylic paint and PVA glue.
Start with a base coat of white face makeup, then blend red, green, yellow, black and purple eyeshadows around your eyes to create a sunken, bruised effect.
Next up are the scars. Take some tissue paper and roll it into long thin strips. Soak these in the PVA glue and attach them to your face. PVA glue is non toxic, but it will hurt (a bit like taking off a plaster) when you want to remove them. Once the glue has dried, take the acrylic paints and using reds and browns, paint over the tissue strips.
Then take the fake blood and carefully dribble it along the painted tissue strips and swish some around your mouth as well. I finished mine off with some all black contacts for a full on dead eyed look.
The rest of the makeup was amazing. So many people put huge amounts of effort in.
