Model: Robin Murray
So to start what you're going to want is some Kleenex, latex, molding wax, aqua color (white) or if you don't want the look to be so white you can use a base several shades lighter than your skin tone, some black powder, green and yellow makeups (I used oil but you can use a powder eyeshadow), fake blood and if you like tooth stain.
To begin you'll want to use a glue stick to cover the eyebrows. This will keep the model or yourself from removing the eyebrows when the prosthetic is removed. After the eyebrows have been thoroughly protected use your brush to add a layer of liquid latex as a base for applying the Kleenex. This is where you'll be building the brow ridge, that'll give the appearance of sunken eyes.
Once you've applied the Kleenex over the latex you'll want to cover it with latex as well and continue to build it up with Kleenex and latex until it's to the desired hight.
After you have your desired shape and hight you'll want to take the molding wax and do a layer over the top of the prosthetic to smooth out some of the lines created by the latex and the transition into the skin. Try to get it as smooth as you can.
Once you've shaped the wax to your liking place a layer of latex over the top of that to seal it as well before you try to apply any makeup to the top of it.
Once the latex is dry take the aqua color (or base) and apply an even coat over the skin and the prosthetic. Keep adding layers evenly until everything is completely covered. Before or after this step you can add any other wounds you'd like.
There is a light wound here right on the cheek bone that will become more evident later. Use the wax or Kleenex to build up a small wall of 'skin' around the desired wound area.
This one is merely some latex applied with my finger. As it dries it gets sticky, so dabbing the latex with your finger will give it a texture and pulled up effect as if the skin is pealing.
Once all the wounds are in place and you have an even layer of aqua color (or base) take a powder and cover it to keep the makeup from coming off as you add more layers. It will also make sure that it's dry before you add anything else to it.
Now it's time to start in with some shading and detailing with blood. Using the black powder, do a dark basic corrective. So, go in around the eyes, making the point closest to the nose darkest. Add in some shadowing along the edge of the nose, at the temples and under the jaw line (more in depth on basic corrective to come in a later blog). Also add some shadow to the inner part of the lips.
Add blood to where ever you want. I added blood (along with a base of red to the inside of the wound to give it more texture) to the inside of the wounds as well as along the top of the ridge to to start with some detailing. To get the texture along the top of the ridge I used a thicker blood (fresh scratch) and a sponge.
Here I've added in some green and yellow to the ridge so that it looks infected. I've also deepened the shadows around the eyes. Use your own discretion for how much you use and how dark you make things to get the look that you're after.
For final touches add blood! I was going for a more splattered effect than I actually got. I got more of a runny blood droplet effect. This is also where you'll want to add in the tooth stain and any other little details you want.
Do enjoy and have fun! I hope this helps and if you have any suggestion on how to make it more understandable or something you'd like to know please tell me or ask!
