This DIY Yeti Makeup Is Terrifying

Christmas is over, and you know what that means: it's winter, but you're no longer expected to be jolly!

Seems like a perfect time to check in with Glam & Gore and take a run at their creepy-but-awesome do-it-yourself yeti cosplay/makeup.

As abominable as you wanna be, check out the video above for some creepy ideas.

You can check out the video above. There is a lengthy explanation below the YouTube video, which you can see below, which not only gives some helpful tricks and tips but also provides a few links to similar/related videos and projects.

Happy holidays, zombaes! Bringing you another festive FX look this year as an abominable snowman / yeti ! This tutorial covers the prosthetic makeup sculpting , teeth , nails , horns , application , and costume if you count hot glue as a way to put together clothing (hey, I tried). Snow is pretty but I like to think a mega creep like this guy is hiding under a big pile just waiting for someone to jump in.......... why do I think of these things

Quick note I forgot to mention in the tutorial - the styrofoam wand I'm using gets extremely hot and you need to be super careful using it. It also gives off some intense fumes so wear a breathing mask or respirator and work in a well ventilated room.

This yeti intro skit is a bit of a reprise to compliment last year's Krampus video - check out Ripley as a baby pup in this one, she's da cutest!

And here is a link to the reindeer look from two years ago but sadly, I did not film a tutorial to go with it- it's just me being a goof with antlers stickin outta my head. But hey, you might be in the mood for that sorta thing.

Paranormal Activity Monster tutorial (good reference for another way to make the yeti face, or how to use modeling clay for the teeth instead of plastic modeling pellets)

Plastic modeling pellets I use

There were over 7 hours of tutorial footage for this one, which was only a fraction of the total work time, so I obviously needed to cut out a lot to get through it all. If you have any specific questions about what I did, or there was something you thought I glossed over, please ask in the comments below and I will do my best to answer!
