You look like you dressed yourself this morning, while you should look like you haven’t changed clothes in days and probably clawed your way out of a coffin! To get that ragged, trashy zombie flair immediately, borrow your neighbor’s weed whacker and run it along the clothes in your closet. Then, take your clothes and throw them on a busy street before morning rush hour. Retrieve at the end of the day. Voila! Impeccably zombified clothes at no extra cost!
Accessories: No zombie is complete without a good dose of human blood. Luckily for you, you’re full of it! A little dash here and there lends the perfect finishing touches to any undead ensemble. Don’t want to cut yourself? No worries: just go mountain woman on your next period. Problem solved!
Hair and Makeup: Remember when heroin chic was in, and it timed perfectly well with your drug binge phase? Well, zombie chic is a similar deal: the less sleep and more haggard you are, the better! Now when you come into work and someone says, “You look like death,” the correct answer will be, “Why thanks!” But there are a few extra steps we can take to get the look right.

To give your hair that “just out of bed and then attacked by animals” look, massage a dollop of your favorite product in at the roots and then twist out in tendrils to the ends. Then, go outside and shove your head into local shrubbery. The little twigs and leaves that break off in the process will give you a special touch of authenticity that will have everyone on the street wondering, “Is that a REAL zombie??” Shhh: you’ll never tell!
For makeup, I highly recommend nice base of primer to set the color, and then a matte black. Apply with your ring finger for subtle dark circles beneath and above the eye. Of course, for that added oomph, you should take a trip to your local wildlife reserve and get bitten by a rabid raccoon. Everyone will be jealous of your authentic drooling and vacant stare in no time!
Get ready to be the talk of the town! Just be sure to steer clear of any rifle-wielding vigilantes … they’re just jealous of your style.
