Halloween makeup- half green zombie

Hey guys, so this is the second to last halloween makeup tutorial that i will be doing this year! This one is zombie inspired and is sooo easy to do! As you can probably tell from my previous make up designs, i like the half face kinda look as i think it has more of a glamorous feel to it compared to a full face of makeup/ face paint.

You will need- two shades of green eyeshadow/ face paint, red lipstick, fake blood, your normal make up, including eyeliner (if eyeliner is not in your normal day to day makeup bag).

Step 1- using eyeliner, draw a similar shape to the one i have done on one side of your face, going further to the other side on your forehead. To go all out with this look, i would suggest going down your neck/ chest with this shape to make it look more zombie like. 

Step 2- using the lighter of the green eye shadow/ face paint, fill in the shape you have just made with the eye liner, and if your doing it down your neck too, don't forget to fill that in also!  

Step 3- Using the darker of the greens now, this will create shadow and structure to your face. Use it as you would if you were contouring your cheek bone, and add it around the edge of the eyeliner shape, making bits darker that others- like i have done to my nose, chin and forehead.

Step 4- getting your eye liner again, put it on heavily to your top eye lid, creating a big wing, also add it under your eye to really make your eye stand out. Then, using the eyeliner again, create lines on your eye lid going towards your eye brow creating big eye lashes. This makes your eye look really big compared to the other one!

Step 5- Colour your eye brow in with a darker shade than you usually would, (i have a palette of brown and black, i usually use the brow so for this i used the black) and make the brow slightly chunkier than you usually would too. Getting your red lipstick, cover you lips as you usually would. Get you eyeliner again, and go back around the shape you originally made adding little crosses to make it look sewn on. Using either a darker shade of lipstick or eyeliner, shade in the corner of your mouth that is in the green area, adding depth and darkness to your top and bottom lip, and flick the edge out as you would winged eye liner, this will create a slightly different shape to your mouth compared to the 'normal' side of your face. 

Step 6- do your normal makeup on the 'non green' side of your face and make sure you go around the green shape you have made to make sure your skin is even all over (obviously except the green section). For this side, i decided to make my make up quite natural looking so it makes the green part stand out more.

Step 7- Finally, get your fake blood and drip it from your eye/ eye brow or where ever you want it- you can totally skip this stage if you prefer the look with out the blood. To really finish this look off, get yourself some red/ white/ black contact lenses and use them just in the green side eye!

DA DAAARH!
