Disguise your eyebrows into your skin by using the spirit gum. Smear the wax over your brows to flatten them completely. Use a dark foundation or dark face paint for camouflage. The colour should be two or three shades too dark for your skin. Cover any blemishes with concealer and use that same foundation/face paint you used to cover your brows to cover your entire face. Make sure you cover your neck to avoid it looking like a mask. Blend to avoid harsh lines between your natural skin tone and the make-up.

Get mad! Pull the angriest face you can; this helps find the natural creases in your face for your zombie to appear spine-chillingly scary! Trace these outlines with a brown or black eyeshadow using a wet brush. On your nose draw an upside down love heart and on both your temples a number ‘3’. Make your eyes as dark as possible with black eyeliner. It’s really important to shade and blend throughout. The only harsh lines allowed are for your mouth, nose, and gaps in the jaw. For the rest of the look it should look very grungy, smudged, and downright dirty. Make triangles along your mouth to create terrifying teeth. Then use black eyeshadow to smudge it out at the ends so it looks like your ghastly gums. Taking some blue eyeshadow, dot it around messily for a bruised effect. Take some fake blood and mix it with dark eyeshadow. Smear it onto places you want to look bloody.
