Tools:

1. Red, purple, or burgundy lipliner


2. "Bruise" shades of eyeshadow


3. Grey or black eyeshadow


4. White powder (baby powder or all purpose flour)


5. Various sized make up brushes

Veins:
It is best to draw veins on first. This can be done by "dragging" the pencil over your skin lightly while twisting the pencil. You should make sure the veins "branch off" like real veins and alternate the colors for the most realistic effect.

The best placement for veins would be under the eyes, around hairline, and both sides of the nose. Veins should fade out onto protruding parts of the face (i.e. nose, forehead, chin, front of cheeks). The veins can be drawn on skin lightly or dark.

You can apply the white powder over the veins to help fade the veins out, and slightly cover them to create a more realistic look. You can use a small make-up brush for fading the veins and a large brush to powder your whole face.

You can also create these veins on your arms, hands, legs, and feet.

Zombie Makeup Eyes

Eyes:
For the best results, you can completely circle your eyes generously with "bruise" shades of eyeshadow with a medium sized brush. Use the darker shades (i.e. purple) in the creases of the eye. This will cause them to appear "sunken."

Tip:
You can use smaller brushes and darker "bruise" shades of eyeshadow to create "bags" under the eyes. You can simply draw the half circle shape under your eye and blend.

For a more dramatic look, you can use grey or black eyeshadow to deepen the natural creases on your eyes and your face with a very small brush. You can use the white powder to blend this as well.

You can also put a bit of fake, or real, blood or red lipstick just on the inside of the lips.

Don't get a fright when you look in the mirror!
