  Step 1

  First you will need the key ingredient: a zip. You can get this at any textiles shop

• 

  Step 2

  I would suggest placing the zip where you would like to stick it on your face and lightly trace out the lines with an eye pencil – I used a grey (STORM BY RIMMEL)

• 

  Step 3

  Now your face is basically split into two parts: the choice is up to you… You could pick one pretty side and one ugly monstrous side, two different types of monstrous sides… I decided to do one part delicate and pretty, and the other part a bloody skull. So I just add the standard Marilyn Monroe esque pin up make up style for my eyes and eyebrow area.

• 

  Step 4

  For the skeleton part of the face – I took a black face paint (BLACK BY SNAZZAROO) and used that to paint my nose to make it look hollow

• 

  Step 5

  Take the black and paint the underneath of your chin

• 

  Step 6

  Take a white face paint (I’m using BLANC DE CLOWN BY SNAZZAROO) and put a coat over that whole area, not forgetting the lips too

• 

  Step 7

  Using my STORM pencil by RIMMEL I roughly sketched out my teeth… Remember without gums your teeth come up much higher than they seem

• 

  Step 8

  Using the black face paint with fine or small angled brush – go over the teeth you have drawn… (TIP: DON’T WORRY IF YOU MAKE THE TEETH IMPERFECT, IT JUST ADDS TO THE UGLINESS OF IT ALL :) )

• 

  Step 9

  Take a soft brush with a grey eyeshadow of your choice and blend round the edges

• 

  Step 10

  A LITTLE EXTRA TIP: To make the skull look more 3D place a bit of liquid latex glue on your chin and a little bit under your nose – try to avoid your nostrils!

• 

  Step 11

  Stick some tissue on your chin and under your nose – keep building with the latex if you wish

• 

  Step 12

  Add a touch of the black face paint to the corners to create depth – use a soft brush to help with the blending

• 

  Step 13

  I then used a mixture of a yellow and a green cream colour base to draw out the ‘brilliantness’ of the white (They were from a costume shop – can’t remember what they were called!)

• 

  Step 14

  Use a bit of latex glue along the edges and create that same paper mache effect with some tissue paper – this is going to be the cut wound :)

• 

  Step 15

  Add a touch of theatrical fake blood to the tissue paper

• 

  Step 16

  Add some more just underneath your ‘teeth’

• 

  Step 17

  Now it’s time to stick on your zipper – using the latex glue

• 

  Step 18

  Use some foundation and cover the seam – to make the zipper seem like it is ‘part of you’

• 

  Step 19

  Add a few stitches with a black liner – I think this creates the illusion that the zipper has been sewn into you too

• 

  Step 20

  Continue with the white and black down the neck for an extra effect.. Et fini!
