Walking Dead Zombie Paint Up Using Sigma FX brushes and Skin Illustrator.

 

Hey my lovelies,

 

Todays blog is a bit of a review as well as the second part of my zombie prosthetic...the paint up!!

 

A couple of weeks ago the marvellous people at Sigma send me this fabulous package of makeup brushes and makeup to test out.

 

I am so unbelievably thankful to +Sigma Beauty for sending this fantastic package of beautiful goodies, am one lucky makeup artist!

 

The brush set was sent to me was the SigmaFX brush set which consists of 11 specially designed FX brushes, all suitable and specially designed for a different aspect of SFX applications. The brushes were designed by makeup artist and founder of Hollywood Makeup Lab, Bruna Nogueira.

 

The makeup was a welcome surprise, as I didn't think I would be sent extra's. I thought it was just the FX brushes but yay!! Thankie Thankie Sigma!!

I will review these products in later blog, promise!

 

I love all the brushes and for this prosthetic application they were perfect. I have created a quick video looking at each brush individually as well as a little bit about what each one could be used for.

I decided that for painting up my zombie prosthetic I would use manual and that the Sigma FX brushes would be perfect to do the job...as well as enable me to review the brushes as worked.

 

 

So here is the setup...my freshly pulled prosthetic piece, Sigma set and skin illustrator pallettes. Normally I would be using my airbrush gun but as I have just got a few new palettes from +PS Composites Ltd and +PPI Premiere Products (All aquired when I went to +United Makeup Artist Expo this year)

 

So the first palette is "American Horror" created for American Horror Story's Makeup Dept. Head, Eryn Krueger Mekash.  The palette contains two colors specifically designed by Eryn Krueger Mekash's makeup crew for the American Horror Story series.  'Coven' and 'Assylum'. Costing $80 from +PPI Premiere Products  or £69.80 from +PS Composites Ltd 

I've been wanting this palette for a long time and finally I got it!! This is my first large palette from Skin Illustrator as all my other palette are the small "on set" palettes.

 

The next two palettes that I used for the prosthetic was my "NecroMania" and "FX" which as mentioned before are my smaller "On Set" palettes which have the same colours as the larger palettes just small...

 

These are available for +PPI Premiere Products for $55

The FX palette is perfect for any casualty stimulation or FX bruises/cuts, I have definitely recommended to my students that they should buy this palette for their kits.

 

So I first used #melproductsUSA in "Corpse", airbrushing this base down using my #mistair airbrush gun.

 

I then proceed to layer multiple colours down manually using the #sigmafx brush set. My idea was to get inspiration from "Walking Dead" by using post- mortem style colours to give a rotting flesh sort of effect.

 

I've been working on building my painting abilities for a while and I think I achieved in this project.

 

 

And there you have the final look of the prosthetic. You can check out a video of the full application HERE
