Are you looking to scare up some Halloween excitement this year? A zombie costume could be just what’s needed. From generic walkers seen on movie and TV screens, to runners and crawlers – there is an infinite variety of undead available to choose from!
An effective zombie outfit requires looking ragged and worn-down; use a wire brush to discolor fabric and add fake blood for added effect.
Material
Create your zombie costume using special material. White costume paint can help give clothing an aged appearance while red paint or fake blood can splatter around to simulate blood flow, rubber fleshy wounds are rubber wounds; for added authenticity use spirit gum to add scars on arms and legs as scabs.
An basic zombie costume can be enjoyed by both kids and adults alike. If you want to get creative, dress as one of your favorite movie or TV show zombie characters like Michonne Hawthorne from The Walking Dead!
Make an unforgettable impression this Halloween by dressing as a charming zombie princess or ballerina! For an eco-friendly Halloween costume option, use clothes you already own or buy at thrift stores; additionally you could dye or singe nonflammable clothing to give it that worn-out zombie appearance.
Makeup
Though you could certainly master a stunning purple and black smoky eye or recreate Cruella DeVil’s red pout using just makeup, nothing quite compares to the terror-inducing effects of a zombie costume without an abundance of blood! So if you’re searching for a truly terrifying Halloween costume idea, check out this DIY zombie tutorial as your solution.
Begin by paling the skin using lighter foundation and concealer products, then layer on gray cream makeup to achieve an undead look (Image 1). For realistic looking bruises use a color wheel such as purple, red and green for realistic-looking bruises.
Add extra authenticity to your zombie costume by staining its clothing with dirt or grass stains or pouring ketchup over it – anything to make it appear decayed!
Hair
No zombie should sport neatly-combed locks, so use styling gel on short hair and tease longer locks to create an unruly style. Finally, finish it off with TRESemme Ultimate Hold Hairspray to keep the unruly do in place all night long.

Shoes
Zombie costumes for children are intended to frighten, with clothes covered in dirt and blood as well as bloody makeup used as components of their attire. You could dress your daughter up as a zombie flapper costume from an earlier era like 1920.
For an authentic Halloween look, use bleach to fade your clothing – it works especially well when worn against darker hues – or spray unevenly to create an unevenly faded effect. Alternately, try painting them brown and black body paint in order to resemble a rotting corpse, or opt for shoes like these zombified Air Force 1 Mids from @cestlavic; they’re sure to turn heads at your Halloween party.
