The black eye does not need any of the prosthetics materials, just the supra colours or a bruise wheel. It is important to look at photos of bruises beforehand to decide on the age of your bruise, as the colours and shapes differ from fresh bruises to older ones. Below are two images showing the difference between a fresh and old bruise, that I had after falling off my bed!

1. Cleanse, Tone and Moisturise the face. The makeup will go on much better on a clean canvas.
2. Start with the lighter colours, gradually getting darker. Bruises contain yellows, greens, reds and blues, depending on their age, so it is important to decide beforehand how old your bruise will be.
3. Beginning with a yellow/green tone, sponge the colour in and around the eye socket, closely following the natural shape of the bone structure.
4. Blend the colour outwards to make it look as natural as possible.
5. Begin to add the darker tones, focusing on which area would have had most impact. Stipple the colour to give a mottled effect.
6. Black can be added to add depth to the bruise.
7. Once you are happy with the colours, a layer of vaseline will help to give a sore skin effect.
Cuts
1. Using a pallette knife, get a small amount of wax out of the tub, and warm up on the back of your hand.
2. Apply to the skin, building up in the centre but blending out on the sides.
3. When layering the wax, add abit of cleanser so that the wax already on the 'wound' won't stick and be pulled off. Make sure the edges are perfectly blended.
4. Wipe the wax off the pallette knife, and slit the wound.
5. Apply liquid latex of sealer to the wound, and dry with a hair dryer on a cool setting.
6. Apply latex around the edges with a baby bud, blending out the edges. Work quickly as the latex will dry very fast. The latex will keep the wax from moving in scenes.
7. You can now use a pin to pick at the edges of the cut, which will give a much more natural wound, as the skin will be flaking around the wound. Apply a base on the model if the skin does not match the wound.
8. Wound filler is applied first using a spatula and then a pin or a fine makeup brush. Think about the detail in your work.
9. Building up the texture of the wound, using a stipple sponge add the fake blood.
10. Blood can be used to create a sore effect around the edges of the wound.
Evaluation:
I am really pleased with the outcome of this wound, as it was my first time I had tried this. I would now like to experiment with different shapes of wounds, such as bullet holes etc. I am also very happy with the outcome of my black eye, as I had never tried this either. I really enjoy prosthetics and would like to start practising more in my own time.
Split Lip
1. Apply barrier cream where the collodium will be used.
2. Tip the head back, and paint it on the area where a split lip will be.
3. Pinch the skin to create the slit, and use a spatula to reinforce this. Dry if necessary.
4. Build up on the face if needed.
Scratches
1. Apply a base if needed.
2. Using a black stipple sponge, and the red supra colour or blood, apply to the skin. For a grazed effect, drag the sponge across the skin.
3. This is most effective on places on the body that are likely to have impact: Knees, elbows, knuckles etc.
4. Dirt can be added to give the effect of being dragged across the floor.
Scars
1. On clean skin, apply the TuPlast, by dragging the nozzle across the skin. Make sure the nib is clean before applying.
2. Once this is dry, you can use a pin to rough the scar up (optional).
3. Make up the area as usual.
