So within the next month or so Im holding a photo shoot. The subject? Zombies, of course. Ive got the photo end down pat- what I need to know about is makeup.

I need to know what kind of makeup is best.
I need cheep but realistic.
Is there any way to improvise with homemade items? I know I can do bones with white candles and arteries with rubber tubing- Ill use food coloring if I have to but Id like something with a little more substance. Maybe food coloring and some kind of powder base.

I need to know about latex- liquid latex, latex application, latex wounds, latex removal tips etc
I need to know what Im not thinking about.

Some of the best looking fake blood can be created using food coloring and liquid soap or kayro syrup.

Oh, yeah, you can't buy the super cheap clown white either - it just kind of smears. That might be the most expensive thing you need though.

if you have left over latex, roll it up into tubes and make intestines for the zombies to chow down on.

What you do is take raspberry crystal light. Put it wherever and wet it. It looks like a huge ass cut. If you're into huge ass cuts
