What this video covers

This tutorial from Madeyewlook walks viewers through recreating the iconic alien Ood from Doctor Who entirely in face paint — no prosthetics required. The creator uses a combination of Mehron Paradise Paints, MAC Chromacake, and eyeshadows to build up the creature's distinctive skintone and facial features. A Mehron Barrier Spray is applied to seal and protect the finished look. The creator notes this was among the first — if not the only — face-paint take on the Ood at the time of posting.

Key takeaways

  • Full Ood alien look achieved using face paint alone, skipping expensive prosthetics
  • Mehron Paradise Paints and MAC Chromacake form the core product lineup
  • Barrier spray is used to seal the finished makeup for longevity
  • A great sci-fi Halloween option for Doctor Who fans
