1. Firstly, I applied a thin layer of spirit gum using a cotton bud on the area I wanted to create the wound on and waited for it to become tacky.
2. I then rolled up cine wax into a rounded ball (not too big) and placed it on the spirit gum.
3. Once the ball was stuck on, using my spatula, I blended out the edges of the wax onto the skin. I made sure the edges are smooth by using Vaseline to help me do this.
4. Using the end of a brush (preferably an eye-shadow one) I made a hole through the centre of the ball I created with the wax.
5. Next, I blended this hole out onto the skin, so it sits perfectly.
6. Using liquid latex and a cotton bud, I went over the wound to smoothen it out and waited for this to dry.
7. It’s now time for the colouring. First I covered the wax with foundation so it camouflages onto the skin. I dabbed this on as dragging it may remove the wax. I then set this with translucent powder.
8. Using my supra colours, I coloured the centre of the hole I created with dark colours such as black and maroon.
9. Now using my reds and light purples, I went over the surrounding of the hole using a stipple sponge. It’s optional to add blues, yellows and greens to create a bruise effect.
10. Lastly I filled in the centre of the wound with artificial blood.
For the blood, I had already purchased one from 'Makeup International London' however when I applied it onto the skin, it was too pink and unrealistic. I decided to buy black and red food colouring from a food store and mix these in with the artificial blood to achieve a thick, dark red effect. I also used simulated abrasion blood on the wound which is very similar to wound filler.
