Apocalyptic Film Makeup Inspiration

Looking at modern interpretations of apocalyptic makeup is a great way for me to gain an insight on the ways and the level of severity you can take it. Depending on the length of time the character has been in this world and what the threats are, are the deciding factors to the makeup and hair design. As Mrs Laderman (my character who experiences the outside world of the zombie apocalypse) is in the full force of the devastating environment and is introduced in the 6th and most recent series, she has been experiencing it for around 2-3 years. She does have limited facilities at Claudia's apartment where she seeks refugee at night, so she will be able to occasionally wash herself. However, at the point of the story I am photographing she is on the run so the degree of dirtiness will be similar to the images from Children of Men, The Road and the later series of The Walking Dead.
