Bruises, Cuts, Split lip + Dry Skin

BLACK EYE:

Needed:

Supra Colour Palette

Small Brush

Glycerine 

Method:

1. I started off by mixing some more bruise like colours in my palette. I dulled down colours such as the green or purple by adding brown to make them more muted. 

2. I applied a purpley shade all around the socket and over the lid. 

3. I added a greenish yellow shade over the top to make the bruising look older and less freshly done.

4. I applied a dark browny purple shade underneath the eye and in the tear duct. 

5. Black eyes often have a sheeny look to them so I applied some glycerine over the area. 

SPLIT LIP

As you can see from the picture above, I don't think this went too well in class. I ran out of time but I think I needed to add more layers of product to the area and shape the lip again to achieve the desired effect. 

Needed: 

Barrier Cream

Non Flexible Collodion

Hairdryer

Craft Knife

Method:

1. Apply the barrier cream to protect the area

2. Apply the Collodion to the area on the lip

3. Press the side of the craft knife where you want the cut to be, and fold the lip round it either side to create an indentation. 

4. Use your hairdryer to dry the product in shape

5. If needed you can add more product until the cut is more prominent. 

CUTS

Needed:

Plastic Wax

craft knife

Lash Glue

Spatula

Powder

Cleanser

Pin

Liquid Latex

Hair Dryer

Supra Colour

Foundation palette

Fake Blood

Method:

1. Warm up some wax on the back of your hand to make it a usable consistency 

2. Mould the wax into your desired shape, and then stick to the skin. If having trouble sticking you can use some lash glue, and use cleanser to help blend the edges into the skin. 

3. Create a cut in the wax using your craft knife. 

4. Use a pin to pull open and tug at the cut until you are happy with the shape. 

5. Apply liquid latex on top of the wound and stipple out to blend with the skin. 

6. Dry with a hairdryer

7. Once the wound is dry you start to add colour, I used a colour from my foundation palette that matched the wound and used this all over. 

8. I then used the red supra colour to give a red appearance to the skin of the wound and surrounding area. 

9. I applied a dark brown shade into the wound to add depth.

10. I dripped some fake blood into the would, and then raised the arm so it poured out naturally. 

DRY SKIN: 

Needed:

Barrier Cream

Old age Stipple

Sponge

Pin

Supra Colours

Small Brush

Hair dryer

Method: 

1. Apply Barrier Cream to the area

2. Using a sponge apply old age stipple all over the area, feathering out the edges to make sure it blends naturally.

3. Using a hair dryer on a cool setting, dry the area

4. I carefully used a pin to pull at the area, creating tiny open flaps of skin.

5. using my supra colour palette I painted in red sores to these areas.

I think if I were to do this again, I would make the entire area more red looking, to give a sorer effect all over.
