Zombie Cut Throat Witch.

Here's other Halloween look I came up with from last Halloween. 

I was going for a dead pirate zombie, but it ended up being a zombie witch! Which I didn't mind haha!

I applied my colour correcting primer to my face- it is important for this look to look as pale and dead as possible! :P I applied my foundation and then set it with press powder. I begin contouring in all the usual places such as jaw line, nose, around the forehead and the cheek bones I achieved this by using a light brown matt eyeshadow. You want it to look sharp and striking so contour away!

Next we move on to the eyes. The colours that I used were a mixture of gray, black and lilacs blended together. I blended it out from the crease to just above the brow bone. You want to bring the blending down to where eye bags will be to accentuate them. Basically your going for a punched in the eye look! I didn't do any line for this and just applied mascara to my upper and lower lashes.

For the eyebrows I took my clear mascara and went over my eyebrows to keep them in place and shape them. I applied Black eyeshadow and shaped the brow even more. I feel that I should have made them lighter, as they are a bit to alive looking!
Now we go onto the lips which I used a gray eyeshadow, its as simple as that! If I went out I would have probably have tried to find a lipstick that was similar, but this worked! I then used a mixture of different eyeshadows (I think they were the same ones as I used for the eyes, but don't quote me on that!) to go around the mouth.

Onto the fun bit! Creating scabs and that slit throat look.

For the scabs I simply used Eyelure lash glue as it is Latex based I got a while back. I applied this to where I wanted it, got some tissue tore up a small piece and placed it where I wanted it to be and applied the latex over the top. Repeat until you get the desired effect. Let it set, once it is set you can then apply the same colours used for around the mouth, also apply this to different areas of your face to create bruising. You also want to apply a bit of red to the "scabs".

For the slit throat I went and lined the outline of the slit with purple, gray, black and red first and then applied latex and shaped some cotton wool into a worm shape to go across my throat, but make sure you create a gap in the middle of where the slit will be. You want to continue applying the latex to the cotton as you go to secure it in place. Once you have the mishmash of cotton and latex on your neck, you want to grab some tissue rip off pieces of tissue apply it to the cotton wool and stick down with latex. Wait for this to dry, which if I remember correctly was about 10-15 minutes. Once dry, you can go wild with red eyeshadow and then fake blood!

Applying the fake blood to the throat:- You want to apply it to the gap you left (this is why it is important to make a gap!) and let it drip down your neck and that's the throat slit finished! 

To complete this look I added stitched using black eyeliner and a bit of red shadow. If it wasn't for it being a Halloween look, I'd have probably have found a product that was more realistic.


Finshing touches:- For my hair, I used a mixture of dry shampoo sprayed close to my hair to get it to go white and talcum powder. Put on your witches hat and your good to go! I decided to wear a black peplum dress, milltary jacket, tights and boots. 

FYI be warned! Fake blood does get into your hair and you will feel like your hair has decided it wants to be one with the fake blood! Not a great feeling, but it was worth it haha
