zomg zombies!

in case any of you were wondering how i got turned into a zombie

zombie march was last night.  and it was pretty awesome.  i did makeup for about ten people over three hours.  i did my own make up in between doing everyone else.  overall i think there was about seventy zombies and nine different effects artists, which lead to an amazing variety of zombies.  some were using an air brush, and the rest, like me, were using traditional make up.  i made all the wounds for every one on the spot.  have i mentioned lately how much i love liquid latex?  these are the wounds i did on my own arms.  the one on the left was liquid latex, make up and blood.  the one on the right is the same, but with cotton to add texture.

i did these first thing when i got there.  i used myself as an example for the other people i was doing makeup on so they could choose their wound style.  i had to wait until the end to use the white outs so i could see what i was doing on everyone else.  really glad i decided to use them because i got a ton of compliments for it.  and i do take "holly crap those are creepy as fuck" to be a compliment, since that was kind of the effect i was going for.  below are some examples of my work on other people.  if you want to see everyone i did, click here.

it helps to be dating the makeup artist.  it means you get the most time spent on your make up.

left the face "pretty" since she was a bride and just slashed open her throat instead

we started off my ambushing the mission in town and have a high school style group picture.  after that we hit up several of the bars in town and more or less scared the crap out of every one there with all of our kick ass looking makeup.  and we did have people following us around town taking pictures and video.   as soon as those get posted, i'll share with every one.  and now i really can add make up artist to my list of accomplishments.  so if anyone needs special effects makeup done for something, hit me up.  i'll most likely do it for free as long as you buy the supplies.

don't we make a cute couple?
