Michael Jackson Thriller zombie makeup?
I had been thinking of a halloween costume, and I wanted to be a zombie. I just watched the Thriller video and now I want to be the Michael Jackson Thriller zombie. I would like some advice on how to do it though. I want the defined cheek bones, sunk-in looking eyes, etc. Any advice?
Here is a good pic of what I want to do:

Go to a local costume shop and you can get everything you need. You will need spirit gum, any white makeup would do, makeup wedges, black eyeliner, you should also get a blueish gray to get the deadish look, and black. I used the a Mehron CreamBlend Stick for the blueish gray. I used a Graftobian Disguise Stick for the black and you could get that in any other color too. All you do is dip that in water and it is ready to use. You just let it dry and you can reuse it over and over.
To do mine I just applied spirit gum to my face, only a small area at a time so it doesn’t dry, then take a tissue and rip it up so the edges are jagged and stick it on. It gives wrinkles and cracks and give the skin the appearance of age and dryness. Do that to all areas you want to have this appearance. Then use the other colors to contour your cheekbones to manipulate the light to give the appearance of sunken in eyes and cheekbones. you could even use layers of tissue (with spirit gum in between) to build ontop of your cheeckbones to actually make them larger and them farther away from your eyes. Be sure everything you get is nontoxic. The disguise sticks aren’t and are safe to use on your lips and even on your teeth. It tastes bad but it makes between your teeth look black and aged.
Good Luck!
Oh, and you can buy or not buy spirit gum remover. I never did. the stuff can just roll off. But it DOES stick to hair and is painful to remove without a remover. Do not apply it to eyebrows and it will stick in your hair. Removal can hurt without a remover. But that is up to you.
