Dressing like a Corpse on a Halloween does not just need a dress and acting like a zombie when you walk. You have to look scary and the best way to look like a real Corpse bride is to put on some make-ups of bruises and bloods all over your body. Here are some techniques on how to achieve those Halloween bruises and faces.
Looking like a Corpse
A Corpse Bride would really compliment a woman better than any other Halloween costume. You just need a tattered white dress and paint yourself like a zombie. Use theatrical greasepaint and apply it to your face and lips. Then apply thick rings around your eyes using a dark eye shadow and eyeliner to make your eyes look bigger and wider. You can also add some fake blood and some bruises in some areas of your body.
Adding Fake Blood
You will need a corn syrup you found from the grocery store, food coloring of red and blue, and peanut butter. Add food coloring to your corn syrup until the desired color is achieved. If you want a thinner blood, add water but if you want your blood to be thicker use peanut butter as expander. But if you are allergic to nuts, you better not use the peanut butter at all; or just put on the areas away from skin. You may use chunky peanut butter to appear like it has blood clots in it.
Creating Fake Bruises
One of the basic make up tricks for Halloween Corpse Bride costumes is the bruising. You will need a brush, eye shadow make up of blue, grey and green colors, make up brush and a sponge. Wet an end of a make-up brush and apply a dot of blue eye shadow powder on the desired place. Then, use your finger to spread the blue eye shadow and add color gray. Then, using a brush, apply the color green eye shadow on the edges of your bruise. Then, use a sponge or your finger to spread the bruise and create a character.
