I do the zombie thing regularly.
The liquid latex is the key. I always put a layer of white down first and then start into the latex - large areas, let it try and repeat.
The more layers, the better at least 3 maye 6-8. then make a small tear in selcted spots of the latex and (using a fine tipped make-up brush or paint brush) apply dark red make-up under the latex. This gives the look of flesh falling off the face/neck/back of hands.
Then do the black/blue shading to the eyes and lips, give everything a dusting of powder and pour small amounts of fake blood into the latex "pockets" you've created.
If you've make a heavy enough latex pocket, you can actually hold some fake blood in it for a little while - a good set up for a gushing gore moment...if you desire such effect.
ALSO - for those of you out there who buy fake blood in the stores...it's too red. add a little Yellow & Blue food coloring to the stuff to add a better brown tint. And if it's too runny, ad some clear corn syrup to it.
Hope this helps:D
