Light scar and cuts with moulds.

Light scaring is a very simple process that can be done anywhere on the body.

Begin by drawing a line on the skin with the tuplast, you can do more than one line or shape depending on what effect you are going for.

It will be slightly raised above the skin, let it dry.

Once it is dry you can again use the Supracolour palette to apply a little pink and red around the scar, try and match a colour to the skin so it blends in more.

Finish the scar off with a light powdering as it will make it look more natural.

When it comes to using moulds you need to prepare the mould beforehand, you do this by heating up liquid latex or gelatine into the mould tray- leave it to set in a cold or room temperature place depending on how quickly you need it to set.

To prepare the skin just use a cleanser to clean the skin.

Then carefully peal the latex or gelatine scar from the mould and place it on the area of skin you wish to use.

Then use a cotton bud and dip it in the acetone or nail varnish remover and gently pull at the edges of the mould- this will make the edges blend into the skin and seem more realistic.

Once this is done you can either add powder so it is a plain scar or you can make it fresher by applying colour.

You can either do this by painting in fake blood or a variety of colour from the Supracolour palette.

If I were to do this practical again I would use more colour to blend the wound into the skin and perhaps mix some colours into the wound so it wasn't just blood.
