Creating light scaring, using molds, how to attatch to the skin

Products needed are molds, gelatine- fresh coloured, petrolise, Vaseline, Prosaide,Cotton buds, Pro clean remover, Witch hazel,Translucent powder, brushes, Supracolor, Moisturiser,  Fake blood And Fixer spray.

Molds are useful on film sets and used alot for continuity a you can use the mould more than once and if your unable to do a scene another makeup artist could use the mold. There made from flesh coloured gelatin which is made in different skin tones. To re use the mould you can spray them before and after with petrolise which  is a release spray and can be used on silicone or latex is usually used in molds a cheaper options is using Vaseline. 

Firstly I applied Prosaide to the skin which is a contact glue which is a milky white colour but dries clear and I used a cotton bud to clean around the other areas. I waited for it to dry clear then pressed it down firmly so it stuck. With a cotton bud I cleaned and blended in around the edges which didnt work out that well as I found it difficult as I didn't wait for it to dry as much as i tried to blend it either broke. I feel I need more practice doing that. I then began to fill it in with supra colour blending outside the cut and and adding dirt to the center I then added blood to the outside. Once I had finished I removed it with Pro cleaner remover as the glue would of stayed on my models arm. I softend it by using witch hazel and a warm cotton wool.

Another look I created  was a bullet wound I used liquid latex and tissue paper to layer up the wound and give it texture
This was the first of the process. I used a hair dryer on cool to build up the layers quickly then covered in tissue creating a ditch in the center. I used supra colour  to paint the wound although I do like the end result it does look very theatrical and I would hope to go back and try and create a realistic looking wound. My favorite aspect is the actuall hole as it worked out better than I thought It would. Next time i would blend the colours more and dab some of the products off.
