Technical - Creating Light Scaring & A Cut Lip

Health & Safety:

Make sure your hands are washed thoroughly with soap before you touch the models skin.

Protect the model/clients clothes from damage by placing an apron around them.

Carry out a client consultation to establish any allergies and/or contraindications.

Products Used:

Cleanser, Toner and Moisturiser

Barrier Foam

Collodian

Spatula

Hairdryer

Supracolour Palette (red & Black)

Fake Blood (optional) 

Step by Step:

1. Take and apply a foam barrier in order to protect the skin from any harsh chemicals in the product.

2. Take some Collodion and apply it where you want it (in this case directly down the side of the top lip)
3. Take a spatula and make a light dent in the Collodion
4. Take a hairdryer on its coolest setting and lightly dry the area.
5. Then repeat steps 2,3 & 4.
6. If you are creating an old scar that is all you need to do, however if you want to create a cut lip you could then apply make-up and blood to the area in order to make the cut look more visible and realistic.

Evaluation:

The Process of creating an old scar or cut lip, I found, very straight forward and simple to accomplish. I don't feel there was anything to technical involved and therefore enjoyed creating the wound and experimenting with colours and fake blood.
