A Kyoto geisha preparing
by putting on her makeup. (This and all other links here are YouTube) It's a little long at a bit over 12 minutes, but it seemed a good inspiration for those who might be looking for last-minute costuming ideas for a Halloween shindig.
Further inspiration:
Low-budge zombie, Budget zombie/ghoul makeup, Showgirl makeup, Flapper makeup, A tiger face, and applying basic latex prosthetics.
For something a little more complex, the Theatrical Makeup Design Interactive lessons for cuts and bruises (and it's rather amusing to watch the woman get more and more battered as she applies new effects): Blackened teeth, split lip, black eye, broken nose, open and sewn cuts, burned skin, vampire bites, and the Sacred Wafer trick.

It seems inevitable that I will always miss at least one typo no matter how often I preview. *sigh* Though I suppose a low-budge zombie could start an entirely new style of undead.

To compound my anti-social behavior, I'm going to mention that BlueFilter's AskMefi. Lot's and lots of good stuff when you search for Halloween costumes.

Christophine I am not at all excited about halloween this year, but I just watched about 4 different makeup/hairdo instructional videos. I love to play dressup and do costume make up in general, now I feel like I should find a halloween party at which to wow the world with my crafty makeup genius!
