Steps

·         Wash hands

·         Tie back hair and put cape on

·         Put mirror lights on

·         Use small pointy brush for delicate work around the eyes

·         Mix moisturiser with supra pallet this makes the product look realistic

·         Blend hard edges

·         Think about where people look as if they are tired

·         Don’t take tired all the way down the cheeks as this doesn’t happen

·         Using clean fingers apply colours

·         Add colour gently

·         Dab colour on with fingers if needed

·         Be careful that you don’t make it look rouge

·         Think about detail- ears, neck, down the body

·         Allergy rash could just be on chest

·         Make sure you add rash on to forehead and nose

·         Add rash to hairline

·         Make it uneven so that it looks realistic

·         Make lip look slightly blue but don’t make them look gothic

·         Add a sore bit in corner of lip

·         Use duo to create dry skin- dab on with sponge, wait for it to dry or use hairdryer

·         While its drying gently dab with finger  to create texture and slightly rough it up

·         You can add colour on the top of latex/duo and also underneath

·         If using latex use hair dryer to dry

·         You can stretch the skin right back and add latex to create wrinkly skin etc.

·         Don’t forget detail on hands if they are being used in shot

·         If you have a fever you tend to be hot and shiny

·         Add red line under eye to show tiredness/sore

·         You can add blood over sores/dry patches as they could be so dry that they bleed- dab with either a fine brush of cotton bud/finger tip

·         Grease paint/products sink in to the skin

·         Use black stipple sponge and poor a small amount of Glycerine in to your pallet and use sponge to stipple on to desired/sweaty areas

·         Use Glycerine to create tears running down face etc.

·         After you have finished go back and add more colour on to rashy areas if needed, take a picture and see how it looks

Latex Process

·         Stretch clean skin, you can make up underneath

·         The further you stretch the skin the more wrinkly it will go

·         Triangular sponges are good to cover area

·         Feather out/blend edges, go for thinner edges, don’t go over same area

·         Dry with cool hair dryer

·         Latex when dry is shiny so use powder over the top to make more realistic

Some notes to consider

·         Think about what has happened to the person you are doing the rash on

·         What are the symptoms?

·         What stage is rash/illness at?

·         Blotchy skin- blood vessels near surface of the skin open up

·         Need to mix/get right colour of the blotchiness

·         Use finger tips to blend/put make up on at times
