Well,
this one should be fun. There is this pretty cool demon that I had my eyes on
to recreate. This demon is pretty creepy for 1981. I was actually impressed to
see is in The Evil Dead. This effect is a bit more advanced so you will
need to get a few more things than usual. You can go to any Halloween store and
get a few makeup kits. These are just for the colors and some extra
accessories. You can get a zombie and a Frankenstein kit. Then zombie kit will
help with the colors and Frankenstein for staples. You will also need liquid
latex, tweezers, a few brushes, grey hair spray, and some white powder.
The first thing you will need to do is cover
your entire face with the white crème makeup provided in the zombie kit. Next
you can put some black and red around your eyes. Red should go to your nose and
a bit on your forehead. We will be putting a gash on your forehead more towards
the end. A light amount of black should be applied to your eyebrows and your
lips. The next step is to apply the texture to your face. This is done by using
liquid latex and single ply toilet paper. Make sure there is no design on the
toilet paper. So basically buy the cheapest brand possible, they tend to have
less designs on them. You apply each layer by layer, alternating between first
liquid latex and then toilet paper until you get the thickness you want.
Before
the liquid latex is fully dried, you can make is smudge on the top of your
forehead, the bridge of your nose, around your cheeks by where you smile, and
under your eyes. You can also choose the side of your forehead you want the
gash to go on. Take the tweezers and lightly separate the width you would like.
While
you allow that to dry, you can go ahead and spray your hair gray. Your hair
should look messy so don’t worry about styling it or making sure it doesn't get
messed up. Once the liquid latex is a bit drier you can start applying more
color to your face. You should see light amounts of where previous color was
previously applied. You can apply black around the gash and under your eyes. If
you decided to make more cuts or tears then you should apply black to all of
those areas as well. You should add some more/ a darker red to the very deepest
part of the gashes or cuts.
In the
very end you should apply white powder to your entire face excluding the cuts
and your eyes where the liquid latex has been smudged down. If you want and
have the extra materials you could also add some black eye liner lines lightly
to your chin with some water over it to look like drool and black matte eye
shadow to your eyebrows to make them look dustier. If you did end up getting
the fake staples then you can apply them to the large gash on your forehead.
Whether you use skin wax, stick the staples into the already used latex, or
apply using fresh liquid latex, you should make sure they are stable and won’t bother
you the rest of the time. When you are done you can go ahead and apply some
white power to the staples to make them look old like the rest of the face that
you just created.
Some of
this stuff may come off throughout the day, so it would be wise to carry around
your liquid latex so that you can do minor fixes when needed. Something else
you could try is to spray some hairspray on your face so that there is less of
a chance of all the powder coming off.
Have
fun scaring people!:)
