Samara Rings Makeup Tutorial - Summary

Summary

The video is a tutorial on how to create a Samara costume from the movie "Rings." The creator starts by altering a dress to make it look old and distressed, using techniques such as cutting, tearing, and applying paint and tea stains.

They then move on to applying makeup to their model, Leah, using airbrushing and prosthetic cream to create a pale, undead look. They also use cream makeup to add lines and darkening around the eyes.

The next step is to create a creepy, waterlogged skin texture using a combination of silicone and cap plastic. The creator applies multiple layers of these materials to Leah's arms and legs, creating a wrinkled, decaying effect.

Finally, they style a wig to create a messy, matted look, and add some final details to the costume. The end result is a convincing Samara costume, complete with a creepy, undead appearance.
