In our most recent make-up session we went back and revisited on how to colour wounds, but we also covered how moulds are made and how we apply them to the skin. Using moulds is a great way to keep up with continuity as you're guaranteed the same result every time you use moulds, the use of gelatine for these kind of moulds (wound shapes) works best due to once the gelatine has set and you've applied powder to the mould you'll see that it looks and feels rather flesh like. Another tip we was taught was about using adhesives when sticking these to our skin and more importantly the type of adhesive that works best with these kind of moulds, which is a glue called pros-aide. Unlike spirit gum or latex, pros-aide is said to move with the skin and gives it a lot more flexibility which helps make the wound look a lot less fake if it's being placed on someones face.
Method:
- stick your chosen mould onto your skin with pros-aide (make sure you wait for the pros-aide to go clear)
- blend edges using witch hazel or vaseline until you get a seamless blend from mould to skin
- power wound to remove any shine
- start colouring your wound, keep in mind to start light and build up colour to create a more realistic effect. It also helps to dap colour instead of rubbing/painting the colour on
- once I was happy with my colouring I then added some vaseline to the centre to add depth
- and for some extra gore, add fake blood to the centre and slightly outside the wound
