Fake Wounds Practical Task

Practical Task – Fake wounds/bruises

I got my inspiration of doing fake wounds and bruises form horror films and I went on YouTube to look for inspiration further on there in order for me to be able to do my own practical on fake wounds/bruises. I used this video off of YouTube below for inspiration. This video showed me what it looked like and showed me how to do it as a step by step procedure.

 

 

 

What I did:

Firstly I applied foundation to a hand in a small area to use as base before adding everything else I needed to add to the hand. 

Secondly I put glue onto the hand to act as raised skin and add the effect of broken skin and skin being raised. I also got my inspiration of using glue to make it look like broken skin as when I watched the YouTube video the dried glue was used to act as broken skin.

 

 

After this I added facial powder over this to attempt to make it look skin coloured.

 

 

 

After that I added concealer on top of the facial powder for the same effect to blend the glue into skin colour.

 Then after doing that I added blusher into the whole I had created in the middle of the skin to create the idea of red bruising in the middle of the open raised skin.

After that I added black pencil eyeliner over the top of the blusher to make it looked bruised and to add to the colour of the red bruising.

Then after that I added brown and black eye shadow on the surrounding area of the wound to create the idea of bruising and pain surrounding the wound.

After that I used red lipstick to add into the whole of the wound where the red blusher is to look like blood and make it look like the wound was bleeding.

Finally I used lip-gloss to add around the wound to represent puss and pain surrounding the wound.

  Evaluation:

As I was time constrained I obviously didn’t have enough time to buy all the products I needed so I used most of the makeup I had at home so this impacted my final result. If I was going to do this again I would change some of the makeup pieces I used for different things for example changing red lipstick to represent blood to using fake blood so it looked more like blood inside the wound and this would make it look more gory and more real.
