jen posted New Class! Zombie Makeup 101

Before I moved in New York, I didn't even realize Halloween was a thingmore

Zombies. To some, they are the least classy of all the monsters, shambling, brainless corpses. To others, they are a useful way of expressing society’s fears and ills through cinema. To others, they are just a disgusting, gory, bloody good time and to YOU they can be a cheap and easy Halloween costume.

In this class, we’ll gather a little inspiration from looking at some famous zombies throughout film history, and then we’ll jump right in to making our own. Class will begin with a demonstration on a willing victim and will end with hands-on practice on a partner.

Areas covered will include:

-shading, veining, and coloring

-zombie skin textures

-zombie wounds

-and maybe a couple of extra fun things thrown in

Cleanup supplies will be provided in case you don’t want to go home looking like a weirdo. Come on out to the Braaaaiiiinnnneryyyy!!!
