My brother is going on "trick or treat" this evening, so I offered to do his make-up.
Start with a white coat of theatre make-up over the entire face and down the front part of the neck. What's special with theatre make-up is that it's based on oil instead of water and therefor covers better and doesn't crack after a while as water-based products has a tendency to.
Then you do a exageratte smoky eyes make-up around the eyes and attach
the zipper with a strong body glue (for example the one that comes with
fake lashes).
Put vax at the edges of the zipper so it appears to be a part of the skin, except the colour difference of course, fix that with watercolour.
Then apply some toiletpaper mixed with ordinary wood glue around the mouth, nose and the other areas "inside of the body". You could also put some glue directly at your face and rub it to get some skin looking flakes.
And after you've done that it's just the real artistic work left. I usually begin with black and then add several layers of red on top of that, you could also use a bit of purple/dark blue to get the right tones. The colour I've used here's just ordinary watercolour.
Add some fake blood... And you're ready to go!
Don't scare any old ladies to death please. Otherwise have a great time! Happy halloween!
Oh, and notice my previous halloween costume post as well!
Peace!
