My Career as a Special Effects Makeup Artist will Begin Here


I'm trying to do something different here.
I want to add some shocking factor to the my scene opening, which is why I decided to showcase some of the wounds of the victims. I already have some experience with these types of effects with liquid latex on the skin.
I reached the conclusion that the materials that I'm going to need are:
Toilet paper or paper towels
Either latex or glue (I'm not alergic to latex so I think I'm going to use that)
Makeup that matches the color of the skins of the "victims" and a lot of fake blood.

The process is fairly simple.
1-Apply the latex on the skin and put a piece of paper on top of it
2-Repeat step 1 at least one time
3-Let the latex dry
4-Make a cut in the tissue with a pair of scissor (Be careful) or with tweezers
5-Apply the makeup (Liquid foundation) around the hole that you just made.
4-Apply fake blood and red makeup directly to the "wound"

It should end up looking like this:

Realistic Wound FX

I'm going to try to recreate this and tell you how it goes, wish me luck.

  1. Good luck! Make sure whomever you are working with is not allergic to latex. If they are, you can use a gelatin mixture instead.
