Zombies, you have to remember, are the walking DEAD. They look dead, they dress dead, they walk and move dead.

For makeup, go with a very pale, yellowish base, with dark hollows around the eyes and under the cheekbones; your lips can be blue or black; if you're feeling dug-up undead, you might try some smears of mud; alternately, you could be a very dessicated zombie, and draw cracks all over your face with a dark eyebrow pencil. If you want an exceptionally gross zombie, make a flour-and-water paste and apply layers of pasty facial tissues to your forehead, cheeks, neck, etc--let them dry, then tear them here and there, THEN apply the makeup over them (rotting flesh--yuck)

Old, torn clothes, a shambling walk, perhaps a long, (clean) bone obtained from your local butcher covered in fake blood and (again) the paste-tissue compound, realistically painted, or even a plastic or rubber severed hand to munch on, and you're good to ghoul!
