How to Make Green Zombie Make-Up
- 1). Combine 2 parts cornstarch to 1 part shortening in a bowl and mix them thoroughly until evenly mixed into a creamy paste. Your quantities can be of any size you like as long as you keep to the 2 to 1 ratio.
- 2). Add 1/4 part glycerin to the mixture to make it creamier and softer. If this isn't enough, add more as needed until you're happy with the consistency.
- 3). Add a few drops of green food coloring and stir it into your white base mixture of cornstarch, shortening and glycerin. Add the food coloring a few drops at a time until you achieve the color you want.
- 4). Add a much smaller amount of red food coloring if the green food coloring alone leads to an overly bright green shade of makeup. This will make it duller and more zombielike.
- 5). Apply the makeup to the face or body with a sponge or small cotton face cloth. In order to make the applied makeup less sticky on your skin, just pat some talcum powder over the places you've smeared it on. Refrigerate any extra makeup to make it last if needed.
