What this video covers

Madeyewlook's Alexys Fleming demonstrates a bug-zombie hybrid Halloween makeup look using professional-grade face and body paints. The tutorial layers earthy greens, yellows, and dark browns to create a decayed, insect-infested undead effect. Drawing loose inspiration from The Walking Dead aesthetic, the look balances creepy realism with bold, painterly artistry. At just seven minutes, it's a concise and visually striking guide.

Key takeaways

  • Combines zombie decay with insect/bug elements for a unique creature look
  • Uses a small palette of pro-grade paints — Mehron, Mac Monster FX, and Graftobian — to achieve complex color depth
  • Olive and dijon tones from Mehron Paradise Paint form the sickly undead base
  • Brushwork is central to the technique; the creator sells her own signature brushes
  • Runs under 10 minutes, making it accessible for intermediate makeup artists
