-by Jackie McCarthy

Would you like to try a new look trending now?  Consider the "zombie look."  There are various internet how to videos to develop your technique.

Begin by purchasing some supplies at Halloween Havoc, your local Halloween retail store located at Towne Square North in Owensboro.  You will need, a package of, latex scabs or regular school glue like Elmer's (eww, sorry). There will be enough to share with friends. Next, a package of vampire make-up including black make up, fake blood and a sponge for blending. Lastly, a flesh colored make-up. You male zombies may be able to borrow from your undead girlfriend!

Attach the latex scabs and begin to blend with the skin color make up or apply glue to your face like in the below video.  Create depth by filling and blending, dabbing to achieve realistic results.  These motions are done with a light, sweeping touch, keeping scabs attached. Don't forget the collarbone area if it will be visible. Finish the look by dabbing and dripping blood randomly across your face.

Keep in mind zombies don't sleep.  This means dark circles around the eyes and some bruising. Create the bruising haze of color by blending black and red creating a purplish look while still showing hints of red, gray and black.

Lend to that crusty scab finish by having a few drops of blood from your wounds.  Now, brace yourself as you admire your undead glow!
