Creating light scars using moulds

By using a mould, it is especially useful for continuity work as you can use the same mould and create the same shape each time. To make a scar from the mould, first, you will need to spray the petrolease release spray onto the mould. Then, use the silicone (you can mix some colour pigment onto the silicone so to make it matches the skin tone) and pour it into the mould and then wait for it to dry. After that, remove it from the mould carefully.

Equipments:

• Baby buds
• A fine brush
• A spatula
• Wound filler
• Blood
• A scar mould
• Witch hazel
• Pros-aide
• Loose powder
• A puff
• Foundation palette
• Supracolor palette
• Orange stipple sponge

1) First, apply the pros-aide onto the skin and also on the scar mould with a baby bud.
2) Then, after the pros-aide gets tacky and clear, stick the mould and use your hands to press it onto the skin.
3) After that, use the witch hazel and rub it onto the edges of the mould with a baby bud in backwards and forwards motion in order to smoothen and blend out the edges.
4) Apply loose powder onto the mould to reduce shine.
5) Use a foundation colour which is suitable and matches your model's skin tone.
6) Use the red colours from the supracolor palette and apply it onto the mould to create blood effects.
7) Apply the wound filler onto the middle of the mould.
8) After that, apply some blood onto and around the mould to create bleeding effects and make the scar more realistic.

• Fixing spray - use it before putting the blood and it helps to make the colours stay longer.  

The pro-aide is like a glue and it helps to stick prosthetic products onto the skin.

Remember in order to remove pros-aide from the skin, you will need to use the pro-clean cleansing oil.

Creating light scars using mould in lesson:





On above, I have done a scar makeup on my friend's hand using the mould and I'm pleased with the results of how it looks. I found the most difficult part is to blend the edges of the mould onto the skin using baby bud and witch hazel as for this time, I should have cut the edges of the mould a bit more. I really like the effects of the blood which creates a bit shine on the scar and also the wound filler because of  how they make the scar look more realistic.
