Using pre-made moulds to create scars

Equipment:
- Pre-made mould
- ProsAide Adhesive
- Witch Hazel
- Loose powder
- Kryolan Supra Color
- Blood
- Wound filler
- Cotton buds
- Powder puff
- Fine brush

1) Clean the area of skin you are applying the mould to to begin with and dry.
2) Apply ProsAide to the area you are going to apply the wound to and also apply it to the underside of the mould then wait for this to become tacky (It will chane from a milky appearance to clear).
3) Press the mould on top of the glue on the skin and apply pressure making sure all edges are adhered to the area properly.
4) Apply Witch Hazel to a cotton bud and gently rub over the edges of the mould to dissolve them and make it blend in with the skin properly.
5) Powder the wound before you begin to add colour.
6) If the wound doesn't match the models actual skin colour then you can use foundation to fix this and then powder to set, however my mould fitted with my models skin perfectly.
7) Using the Supra Color you can add colour to the wound to make it look sore or bloody.
8) Use a spatula to scrape out a bit of wound filler and place in the center of the cut.
9) You can then add some blood with a cotton to make it look more fresh.
10) If desired you can splatter on some blood using a brush however I decided to skip this step.


Consultation notes:

Worked on before - No allergies or contra-indications 

I really enjoyed this lesson and loves working with pre-made moulds. I am hoping to take prosthetics as a unit for second year and look forward to working more with this kind of make-up, learning new techniques and also discovering many of the vast amount of products on the SFX make-up market to create amazing effects and final outcomes with my skills that I will develop.
