Claudia Practice

Even though this was in the Studio and in my own time I still felt slightly pressured to do it as quickly as I can, the whole thing would roughly take about 2 and a half hours however this time I was using a model that is also a Hair and Make Up student so she would be much more understanding and patient in comparison to my Quentin.

EQUIPMENT:

Liquid Latex
Foundation Pallet
Translucent Powder
Scissors
Blood
Woundfiller
Supra Colour
Gel
Comb

MAKE UP:

1. Applied the liquid latex and one thin layer of tissue over it.
2. Colour using white base, and foundation pallet.
3. Buffed into face.
4. Applied the colour I wanted to the eyes, cheeks and wounds.
5. Added mascara and then water and let it run down her face.
6. Applied blood and wound filler to wounds.
7. Added the cracked lip effect using blood on her lips.

HAIR:

1. Parted and straitened
2. Apply gel to smooth to head.

After speaking to my tutor about the outcome she suggested that I should move the mark on her neck up as the idea is she would be hanging by her hands and wrists, I completely agree with what she is saying as right now it looks like a slit throat. So in my final design I will move the burn/wound closer up the neck to give a more realistic impression of someone hanging. Another suggestion was to also try another technique of burns on the wrist so again they weren't so clinical, I did this (image below).
Again, I do really like this and think it is really effective but I also really like the previous one I did and the way it is deep but not quite deep enough to be a cut - so the idea that I have to is to combine to 2 techniques for my final and make it slightly less clinical but keep the depth of the wound. I will also make more the bruising around the wrists and neck more obvious as well as the swollen tired eyes.
