That time I got ZOMBIE special effects makeup. Halloween is two months away and this is a great idea for a Halloween costume. You can get zombie makeup on your face or a full body painting done to have a not-so-traditional halloween costume.

So last week I saw this ad on a Facebook page, looking for a model to do special effects make up on. It was going to be my day off the next day so I volunteered, met Abra, the special effects make up artist, and this video was what we did that day. This was a tricky edit for me. Since I don't have a lot of video equipment, I only had one angle of the whole thing while I was getting make up done. And I particularly wasn't feeling creative this week. I heard someone say on the internet that "when in doubt, just keep creating" and that was the mantra I kept on repeating in my head for motivation. Hope everyone enjoy this video. Check out Abra's work. She's extremely talented, so happy I meet creative people, and I'd like for everyone to see her work.

About author

Hey everyone. I’m Chris Quimbo. I’m an orthopedic operating room nurse by profession. I love my job; there’s something about hammering an implant into a femur that makes my day. However, I’m also passionate about travel. I enjoy living with the locals, talking to people who are so different from me and yet still be the same, experiencing new cultures, learning a local language, enjoying nature and seeing how beautiful the world is. And that’s also why I have this fervent desire to be a conscious consumer, minimize my waste and leave the earth around me as how it was made. About 1,000 animal species are lost per year and that’s because of human caused habitat destruction and climate change; not many people are aware of this or that everyday habits they do contribute to so much to this extinction. Social media is a powerful platform and it’s great that I can use it to spread the message to my friends, family and strangers that come across my Instagram or Youtube channel. I try to lead by example, slowly influencing people around me and hopefully, in the future, reach thousands of people. Thanks for being here and for being a part of my journey!
