This beginner-friendly tutorial walks viewers through recreating the eerie, grey-skinned look of The Silence from Doctor Who using body paint, layered grey eyeshadows, and liner work. The creator uses a curated set of professional-grade cosmetics including Mehron, Skin Illustrator, and MAC Chromacake to achieve the creature's distinctive sunken, alien features. Optional black sclera lenses push the look into full character territory but come with a strong safety advisory. Despite the striking final result, the technique is described as surprisingly approachable for Halloween use.

This tutorial from Madeyewlook walks viewers through recreating the iconic alien Ood from Doctor Who entirely in face paint — no prosthetics required. The creator uses a combination of Mehron Paradise Paints, MAC Chromacake, and eyeshadows to build up the creature's distinctive skintone and facial features. A Mehron Barrier Spray is applied to seal and protect the finished look. The creator notes this was among the first — if not the only — face-paint take on the Ood at the time of posting.
