Creepiest Glam Meets Gore Costume

This Glam Meets Gore costume took me about an hour and a half to create. I am an aspiring Special FX Makeup Artist, trying to build my portfolio, so I usually just sit at home and practice on myself.

Products Needed to Recreate This Look

• Liquid Latex
• Tissue Paper
• Ben Nye Nose and Scar Wax
• Ben Nye Stage Blood
• Ben Nye Thick Blood
• Ben Nye Charchoal Powder
• Bobby Pins
• Castor Oil
• Barrier Spray
• Mac Russian Red Lip Stick

Step By Step Glam Meets Gore Costume Instructions

• Put liquid latex on the face and chest using a disposable sponge.
• Roll thin pieces of tissue paper to stick on the latex… create shapes with the tissue paper all over the face and chest  (I added a layer covering my mouth).
• Add another layer of Liquid Latex over top of the tissue paper so it sticks.
• Dry with a blow dryer, on cool, until latex is no longer sticky.
• Rip the layer of tissue paper covering your mouth, so there’s an opening around your mouth.
• Add a layer of Castor Oil over top of latex (this makes it easier to add colour).
• Colour in wounds with  Mac “Russian Red” lipstick.
• Outline the wounds with Ben Nye charcoal powder.
• Add nose and scar wax to inside of mouth wound.
• Smooth out with Vaseline on your finger tips, until it’s blended onto the mouth.
• Seal with liquid latex.
• Add bobby pins to mouth to make it look like stitches.
• Add stage blood and thick blood around the wounds, and inside the wounds. Don’t cover up the charcoal outline.
• Add Mac lipsitck underneath the eyes, to give it that “dead” look
• Add black eyeliner to eyes to add some glamour to the look.
• Spray with barrier spray.

I enjoy going to clubs, lounges and restaurants dressed like this, just to see what kind of reaction I get.

I’m hoping to turn my talent into a career someday. :)
