1)
Lay down a generous base of Vaseline.  2) Cut
out a piece of Saran Wrap in the general shape of the moulage
area and lay it on the Vaseline.  3) Smooth out the Saran
Wrap. I doesn't need to be perfect.  4) Dig
out a piece of Nose & Scar Wax and mold it to the shape of the
moulage area. It
shouldn't be much more than 1/8" thick.  5) Smooth and shape the wax over the
moulage area.  6) A
little vaseline
on your finger will help to smooth out the wax. Try to get it as smooth
as possible, but don't sweat
the small stuff. The edges are the most important. 7) You can use a little makeup to blend the
colors, but this will be
masked later. 7b) I
forgot to take a photo, but prior to making the
laceration, add a little red creme makeup from the Ben Nye 3D Effects
kit to cause some erythema.
Don't worry about small inconsistencies. 8) Make
the laceration with the BACK of a knife blade. Twist the blade slightly
as you make
the cut to cause the would to gape slightly.  9)
Sorry for the poor photo quality. I'm having issues with my camera.
This is about what the wound should
look like. As you can see, there are inconsistencies in the makeup that
will be hidden.  10)
Spread some Ben Nye Thick Blood in the bottom of the wound. Spread
it slightly up the sides of the wound.  11) Wound with thick blood should
look like this.  12)
Add some Stage Blood to the wound, filling the canal.  13) With a paper towel or Kleenex, dab the
blood around the wound. This
will hide any inconsistencies and add some more realism.  14) Add a
little more Stage Blood
to cause a drip and Voila! The stage Blood will actually dry and
harden, yet still look wet.  Clean-Up 15) Lift
the wound off. If you're careful and have a place to store it,
you can reuse this wound a couple of times.  16) Wound removed.  17)
Wipe off the Vaseline and any loose products.  18) Gently and carefully scrape the dried
Stage Blood away. |
