-A chemical burn is smooth and shiny.

-An old burn is matte and pitted.

-A burn created by fire is charred.

Need:

Gelatine (if the client is Vegan you can use Latex) 

supra colour

Glycerine

hairdryer 

spatula  

fine brush

There are three types of Gelatine

- block gelatine which you can get from Charles fox in a variety of colours but the preferred is clear. This gelatine is cut into chunks then put into a bowl to microwave. 

-Gelglyk is a more expensive gelatine from screen face that you can get in colours flesh, dark flesh, scar and blood. Although it is pricier it does last longer. This you put in a bowl with water while still in the bottle and then microwave it. 

-The cheapest option is Dr Oetker gelatine and you follow the instructions on the pack. 

Gelatine can be used to create burns but could also be used in fashion by adding colours from the supra colour or aqua palette or add textures such as glitter. However if the gelatine cools too much glitter can not be reheated. 

Heat the gelatine in the microwave following the directions for that particular product. Check every 15 seconds to check if it is melted so you don't over heat. If using the Gelglyk shake the product when checking it. 

no protector is needed under gelatine. However you must check the temperature before applying to the skin, the product should be warm but not boiling. 

Place the gelatine onto the skin making sure you smooth out the edges.

Pat the product while its still tacky to give the texture. 

Using a hair dryer on cool, go over the area in a backwards and forwards motion. Remember that even after cooling it will still be a little bit tacky.

Powder the area to stop it being sticky. 

squeeze the skin together to get some more texture.

using a fine brush you can start to build a multitude of colours from the supra colour palette.

In the deep areas use dark colours, for the main body use skin colours and then you can use reds, yellows, purples etc. 

blend all the colours and make them translucent for a realistic effect. 

Some colours you can stipple such as the red.

keep checking the mirror to see how it looks.

To make the wound shiny and raw you can add glycerine, vaseline or Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream.

Another extra is adding blood to make it fresh.

7.  If there are any hard edges use a little bit of duo and smooth the edge.
8. Put make up over the top. You can use a slight bit of white into base with a tiny amount of yellow.

Make sure you cover everything.

9. Using a fine brush and mixing a blue/brown colour blend out around the eyes. Add some red under the eye for a tired effect.

10. Paint in the wounds with some red, to create a more realistic colour you can mix a light or a dark colour. If the colour isn’t realistic dull it down a bit using a cotton bud.

11. Cover with powder to dry.

12. Can use Vaseline or blood in the cut areas for realism.

Need

Wax

cleanser

palette knife

pin

liquid latex

wound filler

stipple sponge

fake blood

optional- puss

1. Get a small amount of wax out of the tub using a palette knife, and warm up on the back of your hand to make it easy to manipulate. 
2. apply to the area where you want the wound, building up in the centre and blending out the sides.
3. If you have to layer on more wax, use a small amount of cleanser so that the wax doesn't stick to the "wound" and pulls off. 
4. Make sure the edges are all blended into the skin, then wipe the wax off the palette knife and slit the wound.
5. To seal the wound apply liquid latex, dry with a hair dryer on cool with backwards and forwards motions. 
6. Using a baby bud apply latex around the edges and blend out. This has to be a quick process as latex will dry quickly. This will keep the wax in place.
7. Using a pin you can now pick at the edges of the cut, which will make the wound look more natural as skin wouldn't be straight at the edge of a cut. 
8. If your models skin is a different colour to the wound apply a base. 
9. Using a spatula add some wound filler, then using a pin to move it around.
10. You can use a stipple sponge to add fake blood in and around the wound. You can also add puss at this point if necessary. 

Scratches

If it is a scratch you can use a stipple sponge and stipple blood onto the skin and drag.

Black Eyes

You can use red eye drops. You can also use Kryolan pencil in crimson to create red eyes. You use the Ben Nye palettes to create the bruises and work off photos for realism. If you want a fresh bruise you use more purples, blues and reds and for older bruises you use more yellows and browns. You can use a stipple sponge and red to look like broken veins. Don’t powder bruises, for realism you can add Vaseline to make the bruise look swollen.

Need:

cleanser, toner, moisturiser

Consultation Notes:

Model Layna- 19 - Female 

Pale complexion with yellow undertone. 

No allergies to products. 

1. Cleanse, Tone and moisturise the face for a clean base. 
2. Choose whether you are doing a fresh or old bruise. In this picture I am doing a ageing bruise. 
3. Start with the lighter tones and get darker. You can use your finger or a sponge however I prefer using my hands as it warms the product and blends more easily. I started with yellows, then browns and added a few blue/purple tones to the areas that would have the most impact. 
4. make sure the colours are blended into the skin at the edges. 
5. To finish, add some vaseline or 8 hour cream to give the bruise a swollen effect. 

Dirt

You can get dirt from makeup shops. If you to create a dirt effect on hands use a tiny bit of moisturiser mix up the brown colour or use a hairspray. Make sure they bend the fingers when applying then rub in.

Dust and mud

Use Fullers earth for dust or add water to create mud. 

Scars

1. Clean the area of skin you want the scar applied to. Also make sure the nib of the TuPlast is clear. 
2. Apply TuPlast by dragging the nozzle across the skin. 
3. Once dry it is optional to make it look rougher using a pin. 
4. Make up the area as usual. 

Split lip

1. Apply barrier cream on the area you are using.

2. Tip the head, and paint on the collodion on the area you applied the barrier cream.

3. Dent and shape the “wound” with the spatula and by pinching the skin. Dry with a hair dryer if necessary.

4. Repeat layers until happy with the finished product.

Top Tips

If it’s a new cut use light blood

If it’s a old cut use dark blood

Take note where the character has been hurt for continuity

If you are using liquid to create dripping blood, position the person before applying it.

Always research real cuts so yours can look realistic. You can also look at what accidents cause what injuries and what weapons cause what injuries.

If your character has a broken nose they would have 2 black eyes

Non flexible collodion- put barrier under collodion

If you are doing a wound put the make up on first

If you are creating a black eye you put the base on first
