Horror Make Up Practise - Open Cuts

For the open cuts, I went to a fancy dress shop to buy derma wax. Durma Wax is wax that you are able to mould very easily and are able to put onto skin without any harm. To create the open cut, i got a small amount of wax, but you get any amount depending on the size of the cut, and moulded it into a sausage shape and then pat it down gently onto the back of my hand. I then smoothed the sides of the wax so it blended into my skin. I used a plastic knife to 'cut open' the wax.

To create the blood i used various items to make it look realistic. To get the vibrant red, I used a lipstick and a lip brush. To make it darker, I used matt red and brown eye-shadow.
