Wounds

Tools needed 

Cinewax/Plasto

Spirit gum

Sealer

Fake blood/puss/dirt

Collodion (used for old cuts and scars)

Tuplast can be used for gashes

1)Mould the cinewax on the back of your hand to warm it up for a butter like texture

2)Roll the wax in to a sausage shape

3)Place it on to the skin and mould so the edges are seamless

4)Cut the wax down the middle

5)Use a pin to play around the gash

6)Add sealer or latex on top with a cotton bud

7)Cleanser and moisturiser can be used to help mould the wound

8)Use a mixture of foundations, colours, blood, dirt and wound filler to add depth to the wound 

Black eye 

Tools needed:

Supra Colour palette or a Kryolan bruise palette

Think about:

How was the bruise created? How old is it?

Build up the bruise using tones of yellow, purple, brown and even blue.

Remember to blend seamlessly.

Old scarring:

To create the effect of an old scar:

1)Apply derma shield to the skin first

2)Apply Collodion to the area and then pinch the skin together to make a crease

3)Dry with a hairdryer on a cool setting
