HEALTH AND SAFETY
- Don't put anything in the eyes that doesn't belong there
- Make sure hands are clean before touching the skin
Other tips
- Cover up the imperfections on the skin using the Concealer Palette, for HD less makeup is better.
- Use fingers to blend the product, heat melts the product into the skin.
- You can use brown eyeliner to map the shape for black eyes so that continuity is better.
- Use facial markers to make it easier for continuity.
- If you want to pale out the skin for illness, mix SupraColour or Illamasqua white base with the Kryolan foundation palette.
- Use Glycerine for sweat, it will stay a lot better than water.
- For tears, drop water or contact lens solution into the tear duct.
- Can use food colouring to colour the inside of the mouth.
- Different eyes have different colours during illness : fever eyes- red, tired eyes- blue
STEP BY STEP- RASHES / REDNESS
- Moisturise well so that the skin has a nice shine.
- Look for any imperfections that need concealing.
- Add some moisturiser onto the back of the hand and mix it with the red from the SupraColour palette.
- Stipple the colour onto the cheeks, blending in any harsh edges with your fingers- this will create fever cheeks. Remember to go into the hairline.
- To create the illusion of a person who has been crying, add red to the nose and under the eyes.
- If a person is; tired: they have red ears
- If a person is; ill: they have pale ears
- Remember to go down the neck, along with right up to the lashes when doing eyes.
- Use a fine detail brush to apply colour onto the lids and feather it out.
- You can also mix IPA with the SupraColour to stipple onto the skin and create a blotchy look.
STEP BY STEP - DRY LIPS
- You can use Latex or Eyelash Glue to do this.
- Apply onto the lips, and use a pin to pick it up and create the illusion of chapped lips.
- You can also add blood/ red to add an extra soreness to the lips.
STEP BY STEP- SWEAT
- You don't need a lot of glycerine for this.
- Using a black stippling sponge, take the glycerine onto the back of the hand and stipple where you want sweat to be.
- Typical places include; upper lip, forehead and nose.
- Wetting the hair can also add the sweaty look.
STEP BY STEP- TEARS
- This is the last thing you would do before taking a picture.
- When using disposable contact lens solution, break the end of the file.
- Ask your model to sit with their eye open wide and head back.
- Drop the solution into the tear duct, and ask the model to bring their head back forward.
- You can also add a drop of glycerine onto the face to create a single tear.
STEP BY STEP- BLACK EYE
- Moisturise the eye area so that it shines.
- Look at pictures for inspiration, and to look at the stage that the bruise was at.

MY INTERPRETATION- RASHES/REDNESS
I decided to do rashes/redness. I did want it to look quite severe and like Megan was extremely ill. The lighter red colour from the SupraColour palette was a lot more difficult to stipple on as it was a lot subtler than the darker red, meaning that I had to apply multiple layers of it. The stippling song did give a mottled effect to the colour, however I really did need to blend in some of the elements with my fingers as it looked too spotty. I think that I could've taken the product a bit further onto the brow bone as well as under the eye so that it looked like it had spread and looked even more serious. At the beginning I did have a bit of trouble with the application, as I applied the colour to the nose and it didn't look like it blended in with the rest of the colour on the face, so I had to remove it.
When Sue came round to check our work she said that I needed to blend out my edges a lot more so that it didn't look like a block of colour on the skin. I did this using a small flat brush to 'dab' at the colour to blend it out, however it did cause it to look a bit similar to sunburn. I think that I needed to blend a bit less so that it still had the mottled effect to the skin.
I think that to add to the effect of the entire face, I could've added in some sweat to make Megan look more ill and like the rash has a reason to be on the face.
BLACK EYE
Much like a lot of the Special Effects makeup that I have done, I think that this is quite theatrical. I really like how mottled the darker colour looks underneath the eye, I did add in a light amount of yellow and blended it around the edges just to give it a slight hint of healing but still looking quite sore. One element that I am frustrated about is I forgot to add on some Vaseline so that it looks shiny, I think because of this is looks quite flat on the face and the shine would've made it look much more effective.
SWEAT
TEARS
I wanted to test out the Glycerine for doing just one tear on the face. I think that it looks really effective running down the face. However I think that I needed to go in slightly closer to the without touching it, just so that it blends in with the eye slightly better.

BLACK EYE
SWEAT
I think that the Glycerine looks really effective on the skin, it definitely looks as though Megan is dripping in sweat. I think I did slightly over apply and the Glycerine did start to run down her face which wasn't very pleasant for her,
