Light scars using moulds


Step-by-step

-Using a baby bud, apply the prosthetic glue on the the area where you want to apply the gelatin. Also, apply the glue on the gelatin as well and stick it on the skin and press it.
-Get rid of those edges by using a baby bud and witch hazel. Rub the gelatin across (from interior to exterior) and the edges are, in this way, burnt.
-Using baby powder , powder the area.
-Start coloring the wound using supra color in red and black. 
-To look more realistic, apply wound filler in the hole with a hair grip, pencil or baby bud.
-Then, with a stipple sponge, apply fake blood all around it. 

It can be removed by pulling off and clean the edges with surgical spirit.


Products used:
gelatin
prosthetic glue
wound filler
fake blood
supra color
surgical spirit 
baby powder 
witch hazel

Health and safety: 

- Make sure the model does not do eye contact with the powder, surgical spirit or witch hazel.

Continuity assessment -s.w.o.t. analysis-



I believe this assessment was a lot harder than the Elizabethan one. I'm saying that because I, personally, have struggled with precision and details because it's really complicated to make the same makeup or hairstyle, especially, to look the same. The only difference between the first and second assessment I think it was the bun, probably because my model's hair was freshly washed the second time and it was harder to style the hair.
Anyway, I am not complaining because I'm sure the next time it's gonna be better and I had to learn from that. But I have to admit that no matter how hard you try, it's impossible to create exactly the same hairstyle or makeup.

Continuity assessment 2


Comparing both assessments, I must say that I did my best in the first one. I'm saying that because there is a small difference at the bun, but overall I tried to do everything as in the first place.

Continuity assessment 1


The first assessment went unexpectedly good and I'm personally pleased of the result.It helped a lot that my model was communicative, patient and on time. Because the makeup and the hairstyle were simple, it took me one hour to transform her (more or less) into Jane Eyre.

Practice for the Continuity Assessment

For this assessment, I was lucky of finding a suitable model for my character. I needed a beautiful blonde girl for Jane Eyre's character and I found one. Anyway, before the assessment we met once to practice. I didn't need to practice on my model more than once because the looms are quite simple.

HAIR





MAKEUP





Everything took me about an hour and after that I knew everything I had to do in order to achieve a better version of the look for the assessment.

Dirt & Dirty Teeth


Step-by-step (dirty teeth)

I put my model to smile for me with the teeth out. Using tooth enamel in black and a cotton bud, I gently applied the product on the teeth. The product has got a nail polish texture and dries really fast. It gives the illusion of dental caries and missing teeth. 



After that, I used the same product (tooth enamel), but in a yellowish color to give the illusion of rotten teeth. 




It looks gross, I know. But this is very easy to apply, as well to take off by using surgical spirit and a cotton bud. 

Step-by-step (dirty, muddy hands)


To create this kind of look on the hands, you won't need proper mud, of course! All u need is water and clay which is used for sfx makeup. Mixed with water, the product has a mud texture and color. 
To create the muddy hands look, I applied the product on my model's hand using my hands. 



I dried the hand with the hair drier for 1 minute and then I applied some color spray and fake blood. 




It can be easily taken off by washing everything with water and soap.

Products used:

tooth enamel
surgical spirit 
water
clay
color spray
fake blood

Health and safety: 

- None of the products are allergic, but make sure to work clean.
