Creating scarring

Products that can be used to create different types of scarring:

• Supracolour
• Collodian – used for scarring and cut lips
• A pallet knife
• Tuplast – can be used for old, raised scarring (non flexible)
• Derma shield (protects the skin)
• Translucent powder

One thing to remember when creating scars with makeup is that brighter coloured scars are new scars and dull coloured scars would be older. Before working on some ones skin with these harsh products you should always apply a barrier cream to the area you will be working on. In this case you should use the Derma shield.

Using collodian.

How to create scarring using collodian:

1.      Apply some collodian to skin

2.      Use a pallet knife to pinch between the area of skin to create a ‘wrinkle’ and tighten effect the skin.

3.      Use a cool hair dryer to dry the area quickly

4.      Repeat this three of four times to create layers of the effect.

This type of scarring can be made to look like either new or old scarring, depending weather you colour the area using Supracolour.

How to create raised scarring using Tuplast:

1.      Place the top of the tube tuplast on the skin and lay it onto the skin. This will create a scar which looks like it could have been created with a knife.

2.      Allow the tuplast time to dry.

3.      You should then colour the scarring with Supracolour. A more realistic effect can be created by dabbing colour on top of the tuplast.

4.      You should then powder the area to create an even more realistic effect.

Using moulds to create scarring

Here is a list of products needed to create this makeup look:

·         

• Set of plastic mould/scars (like picture shown to the right)
• Gelatine or latex

•  A big rounded powder brush
• T-pin
• Translucent powder
• Prosade and prosade remover
• Cotton buds
• Supracolour

Here is a step by step of how to use moulds:

1.      Create the mould using either gelatine or latex and allow to cool/set.

2.      Once the gelatine or latex is dry/set you can then begin to remove the mould from the set using the t-pin, you can also use the brush with translucent powder to lift the mould from the set.

3.      Ensure that your models area of skin that you will be applying the mould to is clean.

4.      Apply some prosade to the bottom of the set mould and place onto the skin.

5.      Use a cotton bud to set the edges as close to the skin as possible. Use the cotton bud in a rolling motion around the edges to stick it.

6.      Allow the prosade to dry and then colour the wound/scar as desired using supracolour – adding bruising and/or redness.
