I love any reason to wear a costume! So when my co-worker told me about a zombie pub crawl I got all sorts of excited. However I’m not a makeup artist so I was a little worried about how my zombie makeup would turn out. I learned everything I now know from watching a 5 minute video on youtube! I headed to a costume store on Friday afternoon where I grabbed some liquid latex, fake blood and red, blue and green face paint. I went home and made my first attempt at creating a scar/wound. I think it turned out pretty well. Who knew toilet paper and liquid latex could be so awesome!
Then Saturday came, I had invited Dawn and Chandra to come get ready at my house and have some dinner before we hit the town. So I decided to get myself ready before they arrived. Here are the steps I took. *sorry for the duck lips... I have no clue why I was making that face in every picture!
Apply liquid latex to the area you want to have puffed up. Then added pieces of toilet paper.
Cover the toilet paper with another layer of liquid latex and let dry for about 10-15 minutes.
Once dry start coloring in the wound with red paint.
Then add other colors such as blue and green for added shading and depth.
Finally cover the wound with the fake blood, and this is what you get.
I followed these same steps with Dawn and Chandra and I think we were zombielicious!!
We went to the Jackeloupe where we met the rest of the zombies before heading to, Wasted Space, Juniors, Cheers to You and finally Green Pig Pub. I didn't take many pictures but there were some creative zombies!
It was a super fun night and I can’t wait until next year to do it again!
