Transform Yourself Into a Zombie With This Gory Tutorial

After you've washed your face and prepped your skin with a makeup primer, the next step is to give your healthy complexion a ghostly pallor. To achieve this, Bouchard recommends Face and Body Foundation in White ($35) for the best effect.

After you've gone pale, hollow out your eyes with a taupe and brown shadows all around your eye sockets. Don't forget to go around your nose, along your cheekbones, and around the contours of your mouth.

Next, he created the beginnings of a bloody stare by lining the eyes with a red Lip Pencil ($20). He also drew on bloody cuts, and went back and blended everything with a brush.

The key to a convincing zombie is just to keep layering colors and shades. So, Bouchard went back and added more shadows to the skin with various shades of brown.

Then, he added a touch of Lipmix in Blue ($15) on the lips and on face to create bruises.

To add to the "unhealthy" tone, Bouchard used a brush to splatter sheer brown color on the face to mimic dirt.

He then went back with a Small Duo Fibre Face Brush ($35) to add texture and layers of dirt buildup.

For a more eerie stare, Bouchard used the Chromagraphic Pencil in Black Black ($16) along the lower lash line and into the waterline, and smudged it to add to the decaying look of the skin around the eyes.

To create the appearance of "dirty wrinkles," Bouchard used the black pencil to haphazardly trace any lines where wrinkles naturally form when you raise your eyebrows or even smile.

He blended the look with a brush and added more depth with black powder.

He then created more bruises with pink hues around the eyes.

He painted on bloody accents using Acrylic Paint in Basic Red. ($21)

Get fancy with your application, and go back with a cotton swab to create scratch marks.

Don't forget to add brown streaks to your chin and neck, since a lot of dead skin and dirt buildup is inevitable as a zombie.

Next, Bouchard created a little dimension and sparkle (it is Halloween, after all!) with silver shadow dusted on random spots of the face.

To make it look like you just had a meal, paint a little red acrylic on the inside of your lips, and add drips coming from the outer corners of your mouth.

Now that your face is covered in dirt, blood, and bruises, you'll want to bring back that ghostly pallor by adding accents of white acrylic.

Don't for get to add white to your lips, so they lose any healthy color.

Give your best menacing stare for a frightening look!
