Chicago-based make-up artist Peter Hudgins loves Halloween–and, frankly, any excuse that provides him the chance to precise his make-up artistry skills. That’s why October is the month for him to polish through working backstage in haunted houses and creating costume designs that TERRIFY.

We spotted this Zombie make-up he posted on Facebook and after we shared it, a lot of you asked about what products he used to create the look.

Peter, who’s also a tattoo artist, jewelry maker, sculptor, actor and freelance artist, says the Mehron liquid make-up base was applied with a Paasche “talon” airbrush. The purple and black Mehron liquid make-up was applied with a Badger “anthem” airbrush. Then, the black spatter and dirt was applied using a toothbrush and the detail work was done with a skinny pinstripe-style paint brush.
