Backstage

As promised a few days ago, here are some simple steps to achieve in a short time and with materials readily available from a nice trick Zombie, On the subject saw the carnival imminent or partner if you want to remove some’ troppo assillanti 🙂

Materials needed:

• White base for facepainting (excellent even in the clown makeup cream)
• Black pencil make-up
• Color fire red (well only a lipstick)
• Pre-vulcanized liquid latex (alternatively a layer of toilet paper and PVA glue)
• possibly a correction / economic foundation

How to proceed:

Apply with a sponge in the liquid latex to the cheeks and make it dry using a hair dryer. In the event that you do not have the latex (mesticheria or sell it in stores a few colors €) can be done as follows:

Separated by a piece of toilet paper (or a paper towel) two-ply, tear so that it follows an approximate outline of the cheeks (you could get two more or less oval) and paste to the face, one cheek, using PVA glue as a bonding agent diluted in a bit’ d’acqua, being careful to apply the glue to the side of oval, and not in the middle.

When finished you can proceed to slightly whiten his face, as the most preferred white forehead, the nose and cheekbones.

Apply now some’ black eyes: over the entire upper eyelid and lower eyelid, surrounding the whole eye.
Wait for it to dry out a bit’ (in case you're using water colors) then mix it with a bit’ sfumatelo on lipstick and white: the objective is to achieve a dark purple.

Now, with a pencil or black color on the cheeks create a chiaroscuro: the goal is to give an idea of emptying, then you can proceed to break the latex or toilet paper in vertical strips, coloring the underlying skin with red lipstick, To give an idea of the flesh.

Finally, color the tip of the nose and lips with black.
If you're using a pencil ol'eyeliner can score some interesting cross line, thin lips, not too long, giving the idea of ​​a lip that is breaking.

The concealer or the foundation may be useful at this point if we realize that we have exaggerated with the white or black and white will fade further (apply it to lighten the black, then fade to white).

If we want to add some more details, We can draw two parallel lines on the forehead and round, by then fade out, to give an idea of the passage of a large vein or the skin is breaking.

A red halo around the mouth and stains like blood spatter made will make it more gruesome and terrifying your creation..

Neck and hand colored the same color of the face , and uncombed hair properly and fixed with a bit’ spray or foam to make you worthy of revival from death …
