How to create zombie eyes

Step 1:

Create the base.

Start by applying a white base to your entire face or the area around the eyes. Be sure to go over the eyebrows. Set the makeup with translucent powder.

Step 2:

Apply purple shadow.

Apply dark purple eye shadow over the eyelids, and blend up and out toward the brow bone and temples. Then, use a blending brush to blend the color down under the eyes and toward the cheekbones.

Step 3:

Create the sunken look.

Apply black eye shadow with a light hand, from the inner corners of the eyes toward the nose, to create a sunken effect. Use a triangular sponge to blend the black over the eyelids and under the eyes, just above the cheekbones.

Apply charcoal or gray eye shadow to create a black eye, further accentuating the sunken look. Use blush or red eye shadow to add a few highlights from the eyes down toward the nose, under the eyes and up toward the eyebrows.

Step 4: Define the creases in your face.

Wrinkle your face and nose, and trace the creases of your face with a black eyeliner pencil. Then, trace along those lines with a white pencil. Soften the harshness of the lines by gently rubbing with a triangular sponge. Add some definition by using black liquid or gel eyeliner on a select few of the lines. To finish this the zombie look, trace the water line of your eyes with red eyeliner.
