Prep your face. You'll want to start with a clean canvas, so use a gentle cleanser to remove makeup and oils from your skin. Rinse with warm water, then pat (don't rub) your face dry with a towel. Don't put on moisturizer or sunscreen. These products might cause latex-based makeup to slide off.
Pull your hair back. If you have long hair or bangs, keep it out of your face while you work. Put it up into a ponytail, and clip stray hairs out of the way with bobby pins or a headband.
If you're a guy, you may want to shave before applying any make-up or prosthetics. Latex and gelatin can get stuck in the hair, making it them quite painful to remove. Plus, if you're dead your hair doesn't grow. Duh.
Apply latex or gelatin to create wounds and gashes (optional). Liquid latex and gelatin are two substances you can use to create really cool zombie effects - like open wounds, bloody gashes, bite marks and broken noses. Although they might sound intimidating or overly complicated to use, both liquid latex and gelatin are actually surprisingly easy to work with. An explanation of how both products work can be found in parts three and four of this article.
If you do decide to work with either liquid latex or gelatin, they will need to be applied at this point in the make-up process, that is, before you begin working with face paints.
However, if you decide these products are too much work or you don't have time to find them, just skip to the next step. You can still create a hideously decayed zombie look without them!
Apply a base of white face paint or stage make-up. Using a soft makeup or stippling sponge, dab the white all over your face. Then blend it in small, light motions until your whole face is covered in a thin layer of makeup. Allow it to dry completely.
Create a mottled effect by subtly applying a second color over the white. You can go with grey for an ashen, decayed effect, red or purple for a bruised effect or green and yellow for a gangrenous effect.
Use the best quality face paint you can find. Cheap, low-quality face paint will not blend well and is bad for your skin. Try to get your hands on some high-quality stage make up - it can usually be found in good costume stores.
Create dark circles around your eyes. Dark, sunken eyes can help you look dead, violently injured, sleep-deprived, or all of the above!
Outline your lids with dark pencil eyeliner, then smudge it outward. Then use black or brown eyeshadow or face paint to fill in the dark circles beneath the eyes and around the eyelids.
Blend around the edges with purple and red paint or shadow to create the illusion of freshly-bruised skin, or with green and yellow for an older looking bruise.
Hollow out your cheeks. Zombies are often pretty emaciated looking - good brains can be hard to come by you know! You can achieve this sunken in effect by sucking in your cheeks and lightly blending some black powder or paint into the hollows. This will highlight your cheekbones.
Darken your lips. Apply black lipstick or face paint to your lips for a dried-out, dead look. Also emphasize the creases around your mouth with some dark, shadowy lines.
Create popping veins and bloody scratches. Use a small paintbrush to paint thin, zig-zagged lines in blues and purples all over the face to create popping veins. Take a dry stippling sponge (or some other coarse sponge) and dip it in red face paint. Draw the sponge lightly over the skin to create a bloody-looking scratch.
Finish with some fake blood. You can buy fake blood at most costume stores, or you can make your own non-toxic version simply by adding some red food coloring to corn syrup. For all the fake blood you'll ever need, mix one cup of corn syrup with one or two tablespoons of red food coloring. For darker, more realistic looking, you can also add one or two drops of blue food coloring.
Apply the blood to your hairline and let it drip down your face, or cup some blood in your hand and dip your mouth in to make it look like you just fed!
Use a toothbrush for blood spatter. Put some fake blood onto a toothbrush, aim the bristles at your face, and run your finger over the bristles from bottom to top.
Create a dripping blood effect. Dip a sponge into the fake blood and squeeze it over your skin. The blood should run into a natural-looking drizzle.
