What this video covers

This throwback 2012 tutorial from Madeyewlook (Alexys Fleming) demonstrates how to create a virus-infected zombie look using body paint and airbrush techniques. The look centers on a pallid, drained complexion accented with deep purple, blue, and grey tones to simulate necrotic veins and decay. A combination of Mac Chromacake, a multicolor eyeshadow palette, and a Temptu airbrush system builds the layered, otherworldly effect. The result is a striking Halloween costume look with a hospital or outbreak theme.

Key takeaways

  • A white body paint base (Mac Chromacake or Wolfe FX) establishes the corpse-like pallor
  • Airbrush application with purple, blue, and brown tones adds depth and vein texture
  • Dark palette shades in purple, red, and grey sculpt shadowing and decay details
  • A light concealer helps refine and blend edges for a seamless finish
  • The look suits a zombie, viral outbreak, or horror hospital costume concept
