Create the Bite

Use liquid latex to create the base of the zombie bite.

Every zombie remembers their first zombifying bite. To create yours, use liquid latex or a fake skin recipe.

For a round bite like this one, blot on the latex with a q-tip, as shown. Use a press-and-lift blotting motion rather than simply drawing on the circle.

Use a hair dryer to solidify the latex. This will take a minute or two for small areas of latex.

Cover the latex with black makeup, then brush a generous amount of red into the middle of the wound. Lightly brush over the black area with red. We aren't done with the bite just yet.

Let's add bruising and blood to the bite.
