Make-up tips on a daily basis - Page 3

1. Liquid Latex (flesh tone).
(You should be able to buy this at any decent costume shop, or you can get it online at places like

2. Toilet Paper.
(Or "Bathroom Tissue" for all you people who are afraid to say "toilet".)

3. A Basic, multi-color make-up kit.
(I used a 5 color "aging kit" that I bought at a costume shop, but you could use any make-up as long as it has some flesh tones, reds, and maybe some greens. It all depends on how "dead" you want your zombie to look.)

4. White face cream.
(This is going to be the base of almost any movie make-up you'll do. It's like primer for your effect. You can get this at ANY costume shop.)

A few warnings...

First things first, when working with liquid latex you need to make sure your not allergic. Apply a small patch to the under side of their forearm and wait at least 15 minutes to see if it gets red and swollen. Most people are not allergic, but you don't want a pissed off actor with a red and puffy face in your life...believe me! Now that you know your subject is allergy free, have them wash there face, then put their hair back with something. Also men (or women I guess) should shave all excess hair off their face. Eyebrows are OK, but a beard or some stubble is really going to be painful when you try and remove the latex. Latex in your hair is a very bad thing. Heed these few warnings and your zombie make-up will go much smoother.

Apply white eyeliner to the inner corners of your eyes! it makes them look much brighter and more awake.

Always wash your face with cold water before putting on makeup. One it gets rid of any sort of redness. Two it slightly minimizes the appearance of pores.

I have started to use a primer before I put on my makeup. IT IS MAGIC!!! My makeup never lasted that long before, not to mention my face is so much brighter, and my face doesn't get oily.

If you have dark circles under you eyes you should use concealer.

If your lips are slightly different in color put a touch of foundation on them to make them similar.

Last but not least (this works great for me and many others) slightly spray water on your face after you are done putting on makeup. (not the eyes you don't want eye makeup to run) It makes it last longer and gives a dewy finish which is<font size="5"> gorgeous</font>!!! You don't even need spray, simply pat your face with a wet paper towel (very very very gently)!! 😃

One time I was at this event all dolled up and my jerk male friend threw</font><font color="#006699" face="Times New Roman, Times, serif" size="3"> cold water on my face. I was so mad. When I came home my sister asked what did I do my face as it never looked this good. From then on I started this ritual when I put on a lot of makeup. These days they actually sell a water spray bottle for makeup. (for like 15 dollars) 😕

Thanks for tips...
Using water after make-up...will surely try...:)
hope goes fine for me...

Well, I like keeping it fresh and simple!
Kohl pencil for the inner lid, gloss for lips, lihght tinted moisturiser, and nicely done up eyes work for me most of the time!!
If its evening, I would make my eyes stand out the most and during the day, I would keep it nudish and fresh =]
