For this I used eyelash glue and layered it in certain areas once it had dried with a tweezers I areas lifting it to create a lifting of the skin apperance the I applied the colour I used for the foundation ( illamasqua skin base mixed with kryolan supra colour foundation) to make it blend into the skin  then with a small brush I started adding supra colour to create a 'painful appearance'  I do like the effect eyelash glue has its easy to use and very quick (depending on amount of layers) although it still is quicker than latex  and I had alot of fun using it as I never thought about creating cuts and sore skin with it.

Scratches

For this Look Firstly I scraped the different colors of red from my supra colour pallet for the part on the forehead I decided to use a soft sponge and dab over the area It did look too strong and slightly theatrical so I decided to take a tissue and wipe some of the color off then Which made it look more realistic then I added some yellow and purple. blended the colours together with my sponge until I was pleased with my look.

For the scratch on the cheek bone I firstly chose the red I wanted from my supra colour pallet Then using a stipple sponge and with a quick motion dragged it across the cheek I feel this worked well for a scratch look although I feel it looked more realistic as I didnt use straight on the skin Firstly I dabbed my sponge for the colour not to be as strong as I feel it looks more realistic now.

Im pleased with my scratches so far I feel that I could experiment further and try out different types of scratches.
                                                                             

Scratches with eyelash glue
I like the effect this has Firstly I used eyelash glue then I used to create a base skin, covered it with illamasqua skin base foundation, picked certain parts to raise the skin, powered with mac loose powder then used supra colour and a sponge to dabb on the colours then tidied it up with a small brush
I really liked this technique its fast and gives a realistic effect and would defiantly use this technique again. I would try and experiment further and try adding different colour tones to see what different effects it has.



















Bruises and perfect black eye.

For this black eye I used eyeshadows from my Kryolan eyeshadow pallet for this, I used the colours '                             ' firstly I used the lightest colours building up layers to get to the darker tones I blended from the crease of the eye outwards. This was my first attempt of creating a blackeye although I like the look but I feel it could be improved by adding more yellow tones throughout but I thought it would look too theatrical I do think I could of gone stronger with the pink pigments at the top but overall I'm pleased with the look it could be improved but my favorite aspect is the bottom blending outwards.

Yellow, red, black and purple are good colours to use to create a realistic black eye but you can use the other colours if needed. Powder over the top if you want the bruising to look old.Use red eye drops if you want the eye area to look blood shot.

                 Black eye using supra colour
For this I used  red, yellow and purple. I preferred using Supra colour instead of eyeshadow as it gives it a more realistic fresh black eye look. I'm really pleased with look I feel that I could of adapted it slightly more and added a darker colour in the crease of the eye I started with the red the added the yellow and purple blending the clours together trying not to make it look too theatrical although I feel it turned out well.

                                                                                       






  Cuts.

For this I used Gelatin to create it firstly I cut off a piece then I put it in a bowl and then micorwaved it for  5minuets or untill I felt it was liquid enough then I applied it to the skin making sure it wasnt too hot for my model. with a spatular I spread it across the skin trying to blend it as evenly as I could. I did find it difficult as you have to work fast because I had to re heat it a few times. Once it had set i started playing around creating ditches I then started painting with my supra colour pallet adding darker tones with in the center blending out wards
Then I applied fake blood which gave my cut a shine and made it look more 3D. I feel that I could of improved on blending in the cut.

Cuts In theatre productions are usually made from wax as its faster to apply and easier to take but with that theres the downfall of it falling off alot quicker.

A cut I did out side of uni, I used liquid latex I did this by creating layers of it drying it on cold with  the hair dryer then building it up with tissue paper. Coloured it with supra colour and added some fake blood.

Dirty Hands

Firstly get your model to spread there fingers apart and bend their wrist so that the products spreads across the creases of the skin and no where is left then moisturizer in.Spray coloured hairspray onto the hands I Used D41 Kryolan hairspray in dark brown. Then Spray water onto the hand and rub the hairspray into the skin and under the nails. To help bled the product in more I added moisturizer to help blend the product in. I feel it is an effective technique although next time I would like to have the product look stronger so I wont add as much moisturizer.
