Burns - How To

To create a realistic burn makeup you will need the following products:

 
• Latex
• Tissues
• Spirit Gum
• Greasepaints/bruise wheel
• Gelatine
• Hairdryer
• Makeup brushes

 

Before you begin you will need to check that your model is not allergic to any of the products, once this test has been done you can clean the area you will be working on.

 

• Start by roughly ripping up pieces of tissue paper and using spirit gum glue them to the desired area, it doesnt have to be need or completley flat as it will give more of a realistic effect once painted
• Dry it with a hairdryer to speed up the process if neccesary and add more tissue where needed
• Now you can heat up your gelatine, do this by putting it into a bowl with cold water and putting it in the microwave for 60 seconds, check the temperature on your wrist before putting onto your model
• One the gelatine is in place and dry you can paint over it to give it some dimension and colour
• To finish off you can use puss to make it even more realistic!
