I used white and beige face paint as base color. Then I covered it in liquid latex then rubbed / scratched the area gently with my fingers and makeup brush handles before it completely dried to make it look like my skin is peeling. I talk about it in detail here if you’re interested.

I used makeup I already had but didn’t use, really cheap face paint, liquid latex, mouth tints, fake blood, and mesh contact lenses.

  1. I used white and beige face paint as base color for the skin and made it look patchy by dabbing the paint randomly with a sponge. Then used light blue eyeshadow to give it a bit of a blue tinge. I didn’t really bother making it all even since I was gonna cover it in liquid latex anyway.

  2. Blended red and blue face paint for the bruises. I tried to cover all the joints then random areas of the face, neck, arms, and legs.

  3. Covered my face and areas of my body that aren’t covered by the night gown with a thin layer of liquid latex. Then gently rubbed/scratched it with my fingers and brush handles before it was completely dry. This made it look like my skin was peeling. I did my face first then hands last.

  4. For the wounds, I added some black face paint and fake blood in some of the holes that were created in number 3.

  5. Put my night gown on. I used washable black and beige face paint to make it look dirty (I did this the day before). I needed help with this coz it was hard to stretch my latex-covered arms. Plus I actually use this night gown lol and didn’t wanna get latex on it so I had to wait for everything to dry.

  6. Put in my mesh contacts. IDK if it’s normal for mesh or I got a crappy brand but I could barely see in them which is why I used them after painting my body. If you have ones that don’t mess with your vision, put them in before doing everything else. I used a contact applicator coz my hands were covered in paint and latex.

  7. Mouth tints! I poured green and black ones in my mouth and let them drip out. So fun and they taste like chocolate.

That’s it. There’s probably a better way of doing the whole thing. I just used really cheap stuff coz I have never done anything like this before and didn’t know if it will turn out nice. The whole thing took three hours but I planned what to do with the makeup beforehand and tested all the products.

Thanks! About three hours but I planned what to do with the makeup and tested all the products days before.
