And so it begins: A question is asked and not always answered.
“What are you going to do this Halloween?”
Whether four or forty may be a syllogism. Especially when you get a head in the Rockies costume for Halloween. A while ago I decided that it would be very frugal and fun to create my own clothes for myself and my family. Having some film and theater costume and makeup experience, I thought I would share some of my ideas.
Who doesn’t love the undead? Whether it’s a snack or a canape, this quick and easy outfit is a must-have for everyone!
Materials:
I realized! Your entire wardrobe will be useless after this daily wear!
1 old t-shirt – the bigger the better, a lighter color is also preferred
1 old pair of jeans or pants
1 old shoes
Red, blue, yellow and dishwashing liquid
Soil (whatever dirt will do, from outside or potting soil, as long as it’s dirty!)
Rocks (at least the size of the banks, but you’ll be all in the bag)
Trash bags
Scissors
Cotton swabs
Cotton balls
bath towel
Black lipstick (usually found in any party supply store or Halloween section of the grocery store)
Liquid foundation makeup (you can pick up foundations el cheapo at some grocery stores and some dollar stores)
Optional:
1/2 cup sprinkles
2/3 cup of water
Classic jelly
Some gloves
To begin:
With the t-shirt and pants, cut them with scissors and holes. You can be as creative as you want, just be creative. Remember, you are believed to have come from hell.
Take a t-shirt, pants or trousers, and shoes, and put them in a bag with stones and mud. Now all of them act together violently. Check on them periodically and season to taste. If you like, you can add water to it to save mud spots.
Well, the costume is done. Wasn’t it too hard? Now you need the top hand.
In one cup of corn syrup, mix in a few drops of red food coloring and the dilution liquid. Instant blood! A liquid rinse helps to wash it off afterwards, but if you’re planning on using blood in your mouth, just skip it. Just using the color red will give you a vibrant, mini food. You can use a small amount of blue to darken it. The blood looks darker, bloodier, just be careful not to end up purple, unless you’re a zombie alien. Gloppy, dripping tabo, mix in a few layers of strawberry jelly.
A regular mixture will last in an airtight container for about two weeks if stored in a cool, dry place. The mixture with the strawberry jelly will last about a week in an airtight container.
In another cup of corn syrup, mix a few drops of green food coloring and washing up liquid. this is common for zombie ichor and oligo. Adding the yolk made the mixture lighter and more bubbly. By adding blue I will give you a greener. I will give you a yellow addition to the red. If you want it to be a little thicker and healthier, you can mix some of the dirt that you used before.
This mixture will last in an airtight container for about two weeks if stored in a cool, dry place.
The next bit is very messy and can stain your hands, so now is the time to make gloves if you like.
Take off your shirt and drape your shoulders with a bath towel. Pour some liquid makeup-foundation into a small bowl, enough to cover the face and neck. Mix in just a drop or two of green food coloring. To make cleaning easier, you can also mix some dishwashing liquid. Using your fingers or a cotton ball, apply colored makeup foundation all over your face, making sure to under your eyes and eyelids yours Don’t worry about lines or uneven application, it doesn’t really matter!
Then apply black lip and apply it under your eyes and on your eyelids up to the front of your mouth. You generally want to surround your eyes with it. Using your fingers, rub in a circular pattern around your eyes. You don’t want it in your eyes, though so be careful! If you like, you will also apply a little lipstick to the smile lines around your mouth, those brackets that bracket your lips, and also dig into the hollows of your cheeks and temples. Globules are great for smegment and removing excess.
You can either put lipstick on your lips, or use makeup, personal choice.
Using cotton swabs, cotton balls, and your fingers, apply a mixture of green and red corn syrup to the face and neck to simulate flowing blood and other foul bodily fluids. If you don’t use the open sores at will, they can be removed from the hair, ears, nose, eyes (just starting where the black lipstick ends) to create a “starting point” for leaking pus or blood.
Optional: Open sores
If you want a rougher appearance, put the flour in a bowl and slowly stir in the water until it forms a creamy dough. Certainly to stir up any masses. Stir in some of your superstitious green makeup or a drop or two of green and red food coloring. Using your fingers and a cotton pad, apply the mixture evenly on your face. You don’t want to move it too thick, either while it dries. Also carefully use in places on the skin that move a lot. The middle of the forehead or right next to the mouth are not well known, but your temple, chin, and nose are quite cool.
Allow the sores to dry out completely (may take up to two minutes, depending on how often it’s used) and then use a cotton swab to add the green and red corn syrup mixtures to make open sores or sores appear bloody. lacerations
Put on the rest of your clothes, mess up your hair, and practice your moaning skills. If there are no brains available, party snacks will do just fine.
This outfit is great for anyone who cares about being undead. The new yearold is helping out with her zombie costume this year and we are having a blast. I like this outfit because, with a few exceptions, almost everything is already on hand. It is very useful for last few minute costume parties!
Get out now and scare some people!
