dead and gone


I've said this before and I'll say it again. My friends are phenomenal! For practicing any look, my friend Callie is always game! I know zombie makeup is pretty simple but I wanted it to look really messy and disgusting. I didn't have red food coloring or chocolate syrup so I tried using canola oil, corn starch, and cocca powder. It didn't quite achieve the look I was hoping for as it seems to resemble mud moreso than blood. Oh well... Practice makes perfect, am I right?! Regardless, it was a lot of fun!! Big Ups to Callie for being a good sport even when the "blood" mixture got in her eye. Ooops...




















I've done a few different makeup effects for the Film Dept. at Trident Technical College. This kid is currently enrolled in the program and is interested in Special Effects makeup just I am so I attempted to teach him a few tips and tricks...
