Special Effects makeup

As well as doing hair and special occasion makeup, every so often I get an opportunity to play with special effects makeup. Here are some pictures of some makeup I got to do for Zombicon 09 and Halloween. This experience was very fun because I got to use my imagination to create really dramatic looks! I hope to do more looks like this in the future!




This is me. I was inspired by a video I saw on youtube called Zipper eye. I used a regular zipper i bought from a craft store, eyelash glue, fake skin, red lipstick, and a zombie makeup kit to achieve this terrifying look.

This is my boyfriend Dereck who graciously let me do a scary makeup application on him for zombiecon. I used the zombie makeup kit, gauze, and fake blood for this look.

This is my good friend Nick. For his makeup, I decided to create a huge wound on his face using fake skin which I built up and added fake blood. For the "guts" on his shirt, I created a mixture using oatmeal, red food coloring, and fake blood.

This is my lovely mother Sandra. She was a geisha for Halloween and instead of doing the typical geisha makeup, we went with something much more dramatic. Using white face cream, MAC eye shadows, some fabulous false lashes, and a nice glossy red for her lips, I created this look for her.
