| You can achieve scars like this using rigid collodion |
Now I know I have talked about scars in
other post but I figured since scars can appear different depending on age I’d
do a post to get a little more in depth on them.
For this you will need:
- Rigid collodion
- Astringent
- Cream makeup scar wheel
- Skin tone cream make up
- Makeup sponges
- Small brushes
- Setting powder
- Brush Cleaner
- Powder puff
Basic preparation steps:
- Decided how new the scar will be (depending on if this scar is shallow or deep.)
- Research pictures of scars (shallow or deep)
· A makeup artist always has reference
pictures of what they are going to do.
- Clean the area of skin with astringent
- Apply a thin layer of rigid collodion
- Allow the rigid collodion to dry
- Repeat steps one and two until desired result is achieved
· Shallow scars may require up to 4 or 5 layers
· Deep scars may require only 2 or 3 layers
The next few steps are for shallower scars:
1. Using a
makeup sponge lightly add some red makeup directly onto the scar and blend out
about a centimeter or two, not even
2. Powder to
set the make up
3. If the
scar still appears to faint or is to close to the color of the surrounding, now
pinkish, skin take the small brush and a little bit of red and brush it into
the scar
·
You may need to blend the red with some skin tone to
achieve your desired results. This can be done before or after the application.
I would suggest after. You can use it to blend the color out a little further,
almost like a safety net.
4. Take a
clean edge of your sponge and dab at the scar until it is blended almost evenly
5. Powder to
set the makeup
6. Using a
makeup sponge lightly apply a think layer of skin tone makeup to the scar and surrounding
area
7. Powder to
set makeup
8. Repeat steps
6-7 until desired result is achieved
The next few steps are for deeper scars:
1. Using a
small brush lightly add some red makeup directly onto the scar
2. Using a
makeup sponge blend out, no centimeter or two, onto the skin
3. Powder to
set the makeup
4. Using a
small makeup brush, the same one is ok, add a small amount of purple to the
scar
5. Using a
clean side of your wedge blend the purple out, no more then a centimeter, onto
the skin
6. Powder to
set the make up
7. If still
not the desired result repeat steps 4-6 using blue
8. Using a
makeup sponge apply a thin layer of skin tone make up to your scar and the surrounding
area
9. Powder to
set the makeup
10. Repeat
step 8-9 until desired result is achieved.
That is how you fake a scar, new or old. If you wish to
spice up a brand new scar you can add some congealed blood directly onto the
rigid collodion after you
are done shading the area with red makeup. This gives the appearance of a
recent cut.
