Welcome to our zombie bites and scratches makeup tutorial!
You can create this look with makeup you can find almost anywhere around Halloween including
some of your local Goodwills.
Here are a few things you’ll need: Red cream, black cream, sponge, fake blood,
a medium brush, and a cotton swab or two.
Okay, to prep: Blend a little red and black cream to create a darker crimson color.
Using a sponge and the red cream, lay out where you want your bite to be.
Create two mirroring arches side by side and blend out.
This will create an angry, bruised looking area.
Next, use your medium brush and the darker red color to draw the actual
teeth marks within the bite zone.
Six short dashes on each row following the arch of your blend area will create a realistic pattern.
Next, use your brush and some of the crimson color to draw and blend out some spreading infection!
A few dark veins radiating out from the bite, and blended slightly should do the trick.
Dab a little fake blood around the teeth marks and your fresh zombie bite is complete!
Now on to zombie scratches!
Same ingredients, just prep by mixing a little red and a little black to create a darker crimson color.
Using a sponge and the red cream, lay out where you want your scratch to be.
Create four slightly varied parallel lines and blend out.
Next, use your medium brush and the darker red color to draw the claw marks within the scratch zone.
Keep the lines slightly jagged, and make sure they’re a bit darker in the middle.
Dab a little fake blood around the lines and your zombie scratch is complete!
Finish the look with the right costume and some help from our other zombie tutorials.
