9 step guide to create zombie wounds

  1. To begin creating your zombie scars, apply a base coat of liquid latex around the area where you intend to be wounded; such as along your forearm or down the side of your jaw line. To do so, use your makeup sponge to apply an even layer of liquid latex over this area. After leaving to dry for 10-15 minutes, apply one or two more layers over this area to create a solid base for your wound.
  2. Once you have created this base you should form some latex strips with which to begin building your wound. You can do so by taking a small amount of liquid latex, mixing it with a sheet of toilet paper, and rolling into a strip. If you make multiple latex strips and lay them out on a sheet of foil before you begin then you can take your time to craft your wound without having to stop to make more strips!
  3. Once you have created a sufficient amount of latex strips you can begin to apply them over your base coated area to form the basic shape of your wound. As you place each latex strip onto your face, arm or wounded area make sure that you use a sponge to apply more liquid latex over these strips as you do so in order to ensure that each strip stays in place. After you have applied all of your latex strips, you should coat them in more liquid latex and leave to dry for 10-15 minutes.
  4. After these strips have dried in place you can begin to mould them. By pulling them apart gently you will add an overall ‘rotting effect’ to your zombie wound. Once you are happy with how your wound looks, you should add another layer of latex strips, coat them in more liquid latex, and leave to dry for 10-15 minutes before moulding.
  5. You should keep repeating this layering, drying and moulding process until you have created a deep zombie wound in the style of your liking. Although this process requires patience, after several layers you will be able to boast a deep zombie wound with an authentic peeling, rotting look!
  6. Now that you have created your zombie wound you can begin to blend it with your deathly pale complexion. As mentioned in our “DIY Zombie Makeup” blog, you should cover any areas of skin that will be exposed underneath your zombie outfit in light coloured foundation, pale non-shiny face powder or white face paint. You should use this same foundation/powder/face paint to blend your zombie wound. Using a makeup sponge, dab your preferred foundation/ powder/ face paint across the entire wound so that it blends into your skin. You should also dab a darker coloured foundation along the creases of your latex strips and emphasise these edges by shading them in with some black eyeliner in order to add depth to your zombie wound and to facilitate a gouged, bruised look.
  7. Once you are happy with how your foundation looks you can begin to add the most important aspect of any zombie wound; blood! Using your stage blood and a makeup sponge, generously apply stage blood into the centre of your zombie wound. If you add a layer of stage blood, allow it to dry slightly and then dab over it with more blood and a makeup sponge then you will be able to create a multi-textured, coagulated look.
  8. Once you have finished generously applying your stage blood you can perfect your zombie wound by shading in any outstanding areas with a makeup brush and some matte black, red and purple eye shadows or similarly coloured face paints. After all; with zombie wounds, the gorier the better!
  9. Now that your zombie wound is completed all that is left to do is add some more stage blood around the affected area. For instance; if your wound sits along your jaw line then why not have some blood dripping down your neck? Or if the wound has been inflicted to your forearm then you could even apply some fake blood dripping down towards your wrists? The choice is yours!
