Fake Cuts

   This week in our make-up practical lesson we was taught how to create an open wound/cuts. As this is my first time using wax and creating a cut in general I can obviously see room for improvement in this final outcome, but regardless I'm still pretty proud of this outcome.

What You Need:

1. liquid latex
2. wax
3. aqua colour palette
4. grease paint palette
5. paint brushes
6. sponges
7. something to cut the wax and remove wax from pot e.g. knife

What To Do:

1. scoop a small amount of wax from pot and roll into the desired shape you wish to apply it
2. apply liquid latex to area and hold wax down until it's stuck in place
3. smooth sides of the wax and blend into skin to make the transition from skin to wax more realistic
4. set with liquid latex and apply powder to area
5. make your desired cut shape and depth
6. start applying your paint to wound, getting darker as you go deeper into the cut and use a small amount of black where you want the cut to be its deepest
7. keep working on layering colour inside and outside the cut until you're happy with the effect
