In our lesson with Sue today we learnt how to create sweat, pallor and fever. Sue said that it is best to keep this as realistic looking as possible, working with a natural base rather than foundation. In order to keep the continuity you must cover any blemishes/scratches/marks that must be covered throughout the continuity production, whether it's a film or television program etc.
To achieve fever/pallor:
For this rash/fever look I used my supra colour palette by mixing the red with the burgundy and lightening it up so look like hot skin with the white colour. I applied it with my finger to keep it looking light rather than caked on and patchy - I blended it through the skin on areas such as in inner eye socket, down the nose, round the nostrils, on the forehead and cheekbones, and a patch on the neck to keep it looking real rather than in a concentrated area.
To achieve dried lips:
To achieve the dry lips I used liquid latex. I dabbed the product on lightly using a brush whilst my model squashed his lips together! Using a hair dryer on a cool setting, I cooled the latex whilst the lips were still wrinkled together, when completely dry, and the lips relaxed, the latex looks like crusty dried lips!
To achieve sweat:
To achieve the beads of the sweat on the forehead, upper lip and nose, I used a decent splodge of glycerine and used a stippling sponge for texture. I dabbed this in the appropriate areas!
Tools used:
- Black stippling sponge
- Craft brushes
Products used:
- Supra colour pallet
- Liquid latex
- Fake blood
- Moisturiser
- Glycerine
HEALTH AND SAFETY:
For this particular makeup look I was aware that I would have to do a skin test for the liquid latex, so applied a small blob in the models inner arm and waited a while to see if there was any type of reaction. As well as this, I ensured that my working area was clean and clear of any clutter. I washed my hands before any makeup application and continued to wash them after each product used (supracolour/liquid latex/glycerine).
