Cut lips

Cut lip

Equipment

·         Collodion

·         Barrier cream

·         Hair dryer

·         Supracolour palette

Method

1.       Firstly, apply some barrier cream over the area you would like to scar.  This protects that area of skin as collodion is quite a harsh product.

2.       Set up the hair dryer and apply some collodion to your desired area.  I chose the upper lip.  As soon as the collodion is applied, squeeze the area so slit appears. 

3.       Use the hair dryer on a cold setting and hold it on the collodion until it is dry.  Only once it is dry, remove your fingers from holding the skin together.

4.       I decided to go for an older looking cut.  I also decided to put some red from the supracolour palette just to make it look slightly sore.  But you could use this and some blood to really dress it up.
