“My mother used to turn us into scary characters for Halloween so I’ve always been used to it,” she said. “I just got more and more involved.”
The first step in her transformation from woman to zombie is putting in contact lens, which give her white or red eyes. She then rubs petroleum jelly into her eyebrows and hairline to prevent makeup from being difficult to remove.
She applies a latex base (using a more expensive product if she will be wearing the makeup for a long period), drying her face with a blow dryer between layers. This is also brushed onto one of the prosthetics, which she made herself, before she places it on her face. She uses rolled oats and makeup to create wounds on her face, and rice can become maggots. Shredded cotton balls help create the appearance of torn skin.
Bailey adds more makeup and sprays her face with fake blood, allowing it to drip onto her chest and rubbing some into her hair and hands. Some ragged and stained clothing help complete the look and she’s ready to go.
“I’ve made many people scream,” she said.
