Burns and sweat

Consultation notes

Burns
Gelglyk, Gelatine or Gelafix block can be used to create burns effect. Gelglyk is made from Gelatine and is easy to heat up, apply and remove from the skin. Gelatine are being used in fashion, tv or film and it can be applied to hair as well. You can mixed it with glitter and also colours, etc. If people got latex allergy, you can used gelatin instead. Non-flexible collodion can be used with gelatine to create shiny, burn effects.

Equipments:

• Cotton buds
• A palette knife
• A spatula
• A sponge
• Kryolan Gelafix Haut -Gelafix skin
• A puff
• Black stipple sponge
• Loose powder
• Supracolor palette
• Foundation palette
• Water
• 2 bowls (one for the warm water, the other for gelafix)

1) Melt the gelafix- Put the gelafix into a bowl and microwave it. Check every 10 seconds and make sure it melts.
2) Make sure the gelafix is not too hot and apply it to the back of your hand first to test before you apply it to your model.
3) Apply the gelafix onto the area you want to create the burn with a palette knife. After it is dry, you can use the palette knife or a pin and lift up some parts of it to create holes.
4) Get some warm water and use a cotton bud to smoothen down the edges of the gelafix that has already applied to the skin and this will make the scar look more realistic.
5) Powder the surface of the gelafix with loose powder.
6) Now, you can stipple colours onto the gelafix and decorated on it to make it looks like real burns.
7) Use a sponge and stipple the foundation on top of the gelafix and this will matches more the skin tone.
8) You can use a stipple sponge to stipple blood, glycerin to give shiny and wetness effects, add pus or wound filler to give more texture to the burn.

• Old age stipple or latex with tissue paper can also creates burn effects as well.

Sweat
1) You can use glycerin to create sweat effects.

Thoughts about the lesson:
In order to improve next time, I can add more colour and tones to the burn and also texture like wound filler or pus to make it look more realistic. I can also make the build up more colours and make the stronger as you can see the colours are quite soft on the camera.

Consultation notes

Pallor and dark circles
1) Cleanse, tone, moisturize the model's face. Ask your model if she has got any allergies and does she wear contact lenses.
2)Use the lightest colour from the foundation palette, mix with a yellowish colour foundation and a little bit of white colour from the supracolor palette. Apply the mixture to the face, ears, neck and it creates a pale skin look.
3) To create darker hollows and eye bags on the eyes, mix the colour white and black and apply the mixture to the eye bags and inner eyelids. You can ask your model to look down, so you can see the eye bags more easier. Use your fingers to blend out the colour.

Dry skin
1) Apply the duo adhesive eyelash glue on the areas you want the dry skin to be. You can build up more layer if you think the first layer is not enough. When it is a little bit tacky, use you fingers to stipple and rough the glue so to give texture and make it looks more realistic.
2) You can use a dark red or bright red colour from the supracolor palette and apply it on top of the dry skin using your finger.

Sweat
1) Add water to a spray bottle and spray it onto the roots of the hair, forehead, etc.

Tears
1) A tear stick will cause real tears to form.

Scratches
1) Use a black stipple sponge, dip some red colour from the supracolor palette and apply it onto the skin.

Dirty teeth
1) Use a baby bud, dip some tooth enamel onto it and apply it onto the teeth.

Dirt
1) Use the brown colour spray and spray it onto the area you want. Remember to spray it from a distance and ask your model to bent and open up the fingers. After you have sprayed onto the skin, you can use your hands to blend the colour.

Rashes
1) Mix the bright red colour from the supracolor palette with isopropyl alcohol and then, use a powder brush and your finger to splash the colour onto the area you want the create the rashes. Remember to ask your model to close their eyes and mouth.

Model: Lilianna Jaroszewska

Thoughts about the lesson:
I'm impressed about the final outcomes of the dry skin and I think the red colour works well on the dry skin as well. I especially like the dry skin on the lips and also the dark eye bags which I think works effectively. In order to improve next time, I can add more red colour from the supracolour palette and isopropyl alcohol on the brush, so the red colour of the rashes will be seen more clearly after splashing it onto the skin.

In lesson, we have learnt how to create a late Victorian hairstyle. On above are the photos of the hairstyles that we were learning to create.

1) Divide the hair into center parting and then divide the hair into two parts (front & back). The back part will be starting from the ears onwards.
2) After that, tie up less that half of the hair from the back into a high pony tail using a hair bobble.
3) Divide the hair into smaller sections and then use a hair tong to curl the sections. Remember to tuck the end of the hair into the tong when curling it using a tail comb to make sure the end part is being curled as well.
4) Pin the curl around the hair bobble and try to not make it looks like a bun shape. You can pin the curls in different directions.
5) After that, curl the rest of the hair at the bottom. Run through the curls with your fingers and slightly separate the curls.
6) Then, pin the curls near to the hair bobble at the top and try to gather them.
7) For the front part of the hair, use the hair tong to curl 3 sections of hair on each side and remember to hold the hair tong horizontally.
8) For the rest of the hair at the front, hold the hair tong vertically and curl it backwards as you want the side of the hair look sleek and smooth. Pin it down to the back of the hair.
9) Then, for the 3 sections of curls at the front, run through the curls with your fingers and then gather the hair and pin it down to the back of the hair. The front should create a a wave and do the same for the other side as well.

 

After you finished the hairstyle, you can decorate the hair with flowers, ribbons, etc to make it look more pretty. This hairstyle is suitable for bridal hair as well!

 

In order to make the hair look grey or white, you can use dry shampoo, coloured hairspray or baby powders to create the effects. 

 

This is what it looks like after spraying the dry shampoo onto the hair. I like the way how it adds dusty grey effects to the hair.



Thoughts about the lesson:
In order to improve next time, I should do the hairstyle quicker as I didn't have time to finish the look. Also, I can gather the curls together a bit more so to make a nicer finish to the hairstyle.
