The real life indigenous tribes of the Congo, such as the Mbuti, Baka, and Twa, were often grouped together by Westerners as pygmies, given their small stature. Tarzan takes place in the Congo as well, but in the late 19th Century, at a time when Belgian colonialism was ravaging the area. Their appearance is quite similar to the fictional Ghost Tribe in the 1995 film Congo, who also covered themselves in white body paint.
The tribe in The Legend of Tarzan, though they look cool, appear to be made up for the movie. Mbonga's tribe, whose warriors cover themselves from head to toe in white body paint, steal the show, but who are the tribal men in Legend of Tarzan, and are they real? An insanely ripped Alexander Skarsgård portrays the King of the Jungle, who has to face off against a number of physical challenges including an angry gorilla, a vicious Belgian practitioner of genocide (Christoph Waltz), and a tribal leader, Chief Mbonga (Djimon Hounsou), who wants him dead. A touch of blue or green on the “flesh” side of the line suggests rotting.One of the most popular heroes of the 20th Century, Tarzan, finally gets a 21st Century update in the new big budget, live action film, The Legend of Tarzan. Adding a thin edge of red to the skull side of the center line makes it look more like the skin was torn off. The detailing is the same as the full skull only you leave one side of your face clean. For skeleton costumes ideas you might like to take an idea from the movie The Corpse Bride.įor the half face skull, it helps to draw an irregular line down the center of the face before you start your white base using a black eye pencil. You can either carefully paint and leave bits of white to be the teeth, or you can paint white on top of the black again to make them afterward. The area around the mouth and hollows under the cheekbones also get blacked out to form the lower jaw.
Then to accentuate bone structure, you use black to shadow your temples, hollow around the eyes and color the tip of your nose. The whole face is covered with a white base to start. You will also want a picture of a skull to help guide you. Having a bit of red, blue or green is good for the half face. You will need white and black for a full face. You can add wigs or hats as a way of dealing with your hair, or wear something with a hood.Ī full or half-face skeleton is very easy to do. All three make-up schemes below work great when worn with formal wear (tuxedos/recycled bridesmaids gowns), funky items bought at the thrift store or even an all-black ensemble from your own wardrobe. These ideas work great for last-minute costume party invites, for adults who wish to spice up their treat-or-treating chaperoning or anyone who is trying to do dress-up on a tight budget. Dressing up for Halloween doesn’t have to take a lot of time or effort.
