Makeup work- Tests

Test 1

This was the first time that I had attempted to use Artex Silicone Gel by Kryolan and as a result the makeup was not very well blended however I did achieve a deep wide cut due to the way in which silicone was built up and positioned.

 Test 2 

This was the second time that I had used the Artex Silicone Gel and as a result I achieved a much more blended look however I would still like the cut to appear slightly deeper in a way which was similar to that of the first test, this can be achieved by placing a larger amount if Artex where the cut needs to be positioned and then spreading it out over the rest of the arm to blend.

Makeup Work- Planning

Summary:

The main makeup required for this shoot is a slash down each of the victims wrists to symbolise the film title of "The Three".  To achieve this effect I will be using a variety of equipment and effects makeup; I will also be organising a number of tests for the makeup.

Equiptment:

-Artex Silicone Gel

-Kryolan Death Palette

-Kryolan Cuts and Bruises Palette

-Fake Blood

-Powder (to set the Artex)

-A cosmetic spatula

-A small tool to create the cuts (for example a metal cuticle stick)

-A powder brush 

-A small makeup brush

Instructions:

1. Clean wrist with solution to create a seal against the Artex.

2. Mix together part A and part B being careful not to contaminate either pot of gel as this will cause the solution to prove before it can be used again.

3. Apply mixed solution to wrist in a vertical line along the veins (keeping the majority of the Artex mixture in the centre of the wrist is vital at this point.

4. Begin to blend the Artexmixture out away from the wrists centre to create a smoother and more realistic texture using the cosmetic spatula.

5. Create a cut in the Artex mixture using the small tool this will become the base of the cut.

6. Leave the Artex mixture to sit for two minutes then dust with powder to help the mixture set.

7. Using a small brush draw a line of bright red down the centre of the cut slightly past the edge of the cut to create a more realistic effect.

8. Add a darker tone of red to make the cut appear deeper.

9. Add fake blood to the cut to give it a more realistic three dimensional effect.
