Black eye and cut

Black eye

Equipment

·         Supra colour palette

·         Bruise wheel

·         Brushes

·         Vaseline

Method

1.       Find a picture of a bruise to copy so you know what colours should be placed in what area.  Also make sure you decide how old your bruise is because as they get older they start to go different colours.  Also remember heavy bruising doesn’t go below the cheekbone.

2.       Use a small brush and very little product and apply to your desired area, blend this in with other colours so it becomes to look real.

3.       Using a red eye pencil on the waterline will make the eye look sore and red.

4.       Using your finger helps to blend as it also takes off the excess product.  Add some Vaseline when you have finished to give a shiner effect.

 

 

 

Cuts

Equipment

·         Plasto – modelling wax

·         Sealer

·         Blood

·         Foundation

·         Supra colour palette

·         Rounded palette knife

·         Bruise wheel

Method

1.       Firstly do not moisturise the area you are going to put the wax because it will not stick onto the skin properly.

2.       Next, work the wax into your hand to warm it up before you apply it to the skin, this makes the wax a bit more pliable.

3.       Apply a small bit of wax onto the skin using the palette knife and smooth out the edges using your finger and a touch of moisturiser, making sure you clean the palette knife as you go.  Then using the palette knife make a believable cut into the modelling wax.

4.       Using the sealer, brush this all over the cut and let it dry before you add any other products.

5.       Next, add some foundation around the edges to blend into the natural skin tone.

6.       Using the Supra colour palette, add some browns and reds to the wound to imply that it is a cut.  Adding some wound filler to the cut will help it look real.

7.       Lastly add some blood and remember to have it dripping the way that gravity would pull it down.
