Students Create Zombie Makeup Using Home Pantry Items

Upon losing access to special FX materials in the lab on campus due to COVID-19, Cosmetic Management Professor Rosa Marchese challenged her students to recreate the effects of an atomic zombie using only a few pantry items in their homes.

This not only allowed the students to apply practical skills in an online environment but also helped create solutions to real dilemmas faced in the industry - not always having access to materials needed when executing a makeup look.

The assignment taught students how to think on their feet and find alternative solutions to a problem.
