Thread: 13 ghosts: The Jackal

Tweet

Hello everyone

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to do the make up for the Jackal from the movie 13 ghosts. I would love to have a tutorial. I've been looking around and I haven't found one . I'm doing it for a competition and I want it to be epic. I want to use more than justliquid and powdered make up.

I have never done anything like this before so I would need to know how to put it on and what to buy~

Thanks!

here is a great link for making the Jackal cage he wears on his head, it seems fast and easy and is very cool looking and a perfect touch.

as for the makeup have you googled it yet? seems like something should be out there.
i'll try and help search.

The Jackal has nasty fingernails too, here's another vid showing a very cheap method to make a set.

Thanks that looks awesome !

I've looked for a makeup tutorial but I haven't found one that uses more than just liquid make up . I want to make it as close to the real thing as possible. Is it hard to use latex prostetics?

Thanks. These are definitely more fitting than the ones I had planned on doing

do you have the movie? maybe they have a "special features" selection that shows the makeup process?????????????

no i havent ever used latex etc. sorry i dont have a clue about that stuff

I don't have the movie

I'm doing the Jackal for halloween this year. I have found no tutorials on how to do the makeup as well but I have been playing around with it. What I'm going to do is use fake skin (wax) on top of liquid latex where the open wounds are, then apply another layer of latex as the wax tends to harden and crack on your skin. Fill in wounds with black to start and add darker to lighter reds to finish. The best type of makeup to use would be a powdered type as it will be easier to apply and you can work with it better.
I will try to upload some pics in the next few days as I want to try some other stuff as well. Hope this helps and good luck.

Thanks, that would be awesome .

Here is my Jackal costume which I used liquid latex and fake skin to make the scar's. Let me know if you need anymore info and I'll be glad to help, that is if you like it.
