eMotion Dance and Fitness Studio participates in one of the award winning attractions at the Clifton Haunted Trail around Halloween. This infamous group is known as the Dancing Zombies. Decked out in all their ghastly gore, these zombies dance to pop music and Halloween music, of course including Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”.
Makeup for this event needed to stay on for many hours and look good in daylight as well as low-light and even blacklight.
This Zombie Cheshire Cat costume consisted of many homemade features, but the pièce de résistance is the makeup. This look was created utilizing many supplies other than actual face paint. The stripes and accents are teal eye shadow. Black eyeliner is used for for outlines, the nose, the whiskers, and the stitches. Lip liner is used to fill in the missing jaw skin, while white face paint is used to color in the infamous Cheshire Cat smile. Teal and tinsel fake eyelashes give this an even more cartoonish look.
