How To
Create a TV Realistic Scar
Hello
there,
Welcome
to another exciting Blog post focusing on the gory side of Halloween make-up.
In this
post I will teach you how to make a TV realistic scar, which would be an
awesome addition to any Halloween costume.
Firstly
you will need some basic equipment.
Here I
have my bruise wheel (as mentioned in the previous post), two small, thin
brushes, a coffee stirrer (with the end cut into a tip), some latex, some
foundation in the same shade as the person I am working on and some Ben Nye
nose and scar wax.
You can
get all the above ingredients from eBay.
If possible, I would go for the smaller quantities, as you don’t need
much to make a good scar.
Start by
rolling out about a pea sized amount of your scar wax into a sausage shape.
However the larger the wax ball the bigger the scar.
Next
place your wax sausage onto the area you wish the scar to be and blend out the
ends. I would advise not using this wax in and around your eye or mouth area as
I don’t think it tastes very nice and might hurt a lot if you get it in your
eye.
Next
gently blend out the sides using your finger. This bit might be a bit tricky, as when the wax gets hot it
gets sticky. If this is a big
problem, use a very small amount of moisturiser on your finger to help keep it
in shape.
Once all
your edges are blended into the skin, you should have something that looks like
this.
Next take
your coffee stirrer and gently ‘draw’ a line down the raised centre bit of your
blended sausage, making sure you touch the skin underneath, but not cause any
harm to the person your working on.
Once you have the gap, gently push apart the ‘skin’ to create the
desired effect.
Once you
have done that, you should have something that looks like this.
Next you
want to cover your gaping wax scar in latex. This is to help set the wax and keep the scar on
longer. You need to cover the
whole scar and surrounding blended area with the latex to keep it nice and
firm.
Once your
latex is fully dry, apply a small amount of foundation, suited to the persons
skin tone, all around the scar area to blend it in with the surrounding skin.
Once
blended, using a small size brush, mix up a dark red colour from your bruise
wheel and apply down the centre of your scar.
Next
using the bruising technique as shown in the previous post, create a bruised
effect around the scar to make a TV realistic scar.
If you
want to add extra gore, why not try adding some fake blood into the mix.
