If there is any one scary part of a zombie, it is their hungry, hungry mouths. People really are bothered by a toothless or rotten mouth.

Black out the teeth of your zombie for a truly disturbing touch. I suggest using Mehron Tooth F-X because it will last all day and tastes a little like mint. Alternately, use black lipstick or even some of that prank candy that will turn your entire mouth black.

Most zombies have a generous amount of blood around the mouth. Use your fingers to apply fake blood around the mouth, then blot and drip with the sponge for a natural blood-flow.

Now you've got down the basic maneuvers for zombie makeup. Next lets look at some tips for success.
