How do you create a zombie costume

Zombies are the hot trend for Halloween costumes, for theme parties and for even home made movies.

How to make up the costume;

Before you shop for products you should know that there are different kinds of zombies. There are depictions as per movies, comic books as well as YouTube inspired ones. There are zombie celebrities, zombie doctors, zombie ballerinas, zombie footballers and even zombie zookeepers. You can 'zombify' any style and any era outfit.

How to create;

Based on the zombie look you have chosen, you can buy the costume online on so many different websites or else you can even make it at home by using old tracksuits, military outfits, an old teeshirt or even a tutu.

Making your own dress;

All that needs to be done if you are creating your own costume is to add disheveled pieces, make it messy and unkempt. You also need to rip the clothing in parts and let the threads hang or else use sandpaper on the clothes.

More effects;

You can even add singe marks and burns for better effect. However, for that you need to ensure that the fabric is not flammable. Fake blood should be added and put on the costume using a paint brush.

Liquid latex can work as torn skin or wounds. This should be applied like a wound and then brown, purple and red paint should be added to colour the wound. Jello could give it the right texture and feel.

Make up could be done by airbrushing colours and in order to get a shrivelled look, you should cover the skin in latex when you mouth is stuffed with cotton balls. When the cotton is removed after the latex dries, the wrinkles will be seen. All these completes the zombie dress you are looking for.
