Cuts & scratches - How to

Creating small cuts and scratches is easier than you may think and you need minimal products to do it.

 

The products you will need:

 

• Collodium
• Tuplast
• Fixer Spray
• Derma Shield
• Grease paints/bruise wheel

In our practical session we created cuts on the lip, start by applying derma shield to the area desired to protect the skin from the collodium as it is very alcoholic.

Apply the collodum to the area where you want the cut to be, work fast as it drys quick! Squeeze the lip together to create a deep cut appearance like in the image below.

 

 

Blow it with a cool hair dryer to dry it and then its ready for makeup! I used a mixture of colour from the Kryolan bruise wheel to get the results for my cut.

 





Next we did scratches, this was very simple to do! Apply lines of tuplast where you want the marks to be, you can use a small amount of powder on a cotton pad to take the shine away and flatten it out.

 

 

 You only need to use a small amount of color on top of this and dab at it with your finger to blend and make it look less harsh, if you want it to look fresh just add blood!
