HI,

Ok so I don't know where to put this but general discussion seemed as good as any. With Halloween coming up I realized it's been awhile since I've done anything, so I thought perhaps I'd go as a zombie. There may be parties I'm going to and I'd love to show up to school as a zombie. I'm figureing on going to a thrift store and getting some old clothes that look semi buisness casual or something and tearing them up so I look like i was 'infected' or whatever at a job.

My problem resides in the makeup. I've been googling it and searching around on the net, as well as asking anyone I know who knows anything about makeup. I've found numerous kits and stuff online, but I don't know whats good and whats not. Does anyone have any 'zombie' experience that could reccomend some makeup to me? I'd not like to spend a ton of cash but a moderate amount (maybe no more than $25-30? max) on this.

Thanks a million!

I don't know about the makeup aspect of it, but I saw a show on tv a while back where someone used some facial mask stuff that comes in a tube and spread it on their face, let it dry, then peel part of it off in little strips or chunks to look like dead or infected skin.
You could then paint that.
You might be able to do the same thing with Elmer's glue.

Apply liquid latex, then peel back strips of it to appear as if you're decaying. Apply a base gray coat of makeup to your face. Next, go around the edges of the "holes" in your face and put some green. Next, touch up with a bit of grayish-blue, and blacken the tips of the peeled latex.

HAHAHAHA! Zombie bingo.
That's precious.

As for the make-up, just think the hulk meets michael jackson.
