Overview

Is it just us, or does Halloween seem to get bigger and better every year? If you managed to catch any of the Melbourne Zombie Shuffle and you’re feeling inspired to gore it up this Halloween, Work-Shop are running a fantastic DIY Monster Makeup class.

The class will be run by Mary Gurry from Centerstage Costumes in Brunswick; a woman who knows how to make you look downright disgusting, as she’s been teaching her makeup tricks for over 20 years. You’ll have the opportunity to work with latex, crepe hair and derma wax to create anything from burns and bites to bullet wounds and black eyes. Gurry will give you a full rundown on when to use what, how to apply it and — equally as important — how to get it all off.

It’s going to get messy, and part of the stage makeup will also be on your arms so come wearing something short-sleeved. If you want to recreate these gore-tastic looks for the Halloween party of your choosing, you can purchase a Zombie Makeup Kit for $25 on the night. BRAAAAAIIIIINS.
