The Make-Up Room: CUTS, CUT LIPS & SCRATCHES

Using Tuplast

Using Collodium

Equipment needed:

-       Kryolan non-flexible collodium

-       Dermashield barrier cream

-       Tuplast

-       Kryolan fixing spray

-       Supracolour palette

NOTES TO CONSIDER:

-       Tuplast is good for creating old wounds

-       Dermashield is used as a barrier cream -> for sensitive skin or with high alcohol products, it protects the skin

How to:

-       Apply the dermashield barrier cream to the area you’re going to apply the collodium

-       Put the collodium onto the back of your hand, so it doesn’t drip everywhere, and then paint it onto the area where the dermashield cream was applied

-       Make a dent in this area with a sharp edge that’s not too sharp (edge of a palette knife, for example) and pinch the skin together to keep the dent whilst you dry it with a hairdryer

-       Use the hairdryer on a cool heat, being sure to move it around and not keep it in one direction -> this will move the product around

-       Make up over the top, using colours from the supracolour palette, mixed with moisturizer

-       Can add powder over the top to make it appear crusty

-       Be sure the dab the colours into the wound rather than paint it -> makes it look fake

-       USING TUPLAST

-       Squeeze it out of the tube directly onto the skin

-       Use supracolour and moisturizer over the top and blend with your finger

-       To create a very old scar, just dab some powder over the top -> DO NOT RUB

EVALUATION: The outcome of my attempt at this practice was effective and not as good as I thought it would be.  When I first applied the collodium to the lip and face, it didn’t appear to be taking shape to the dents that I wanted them to, even when hair drying them.  However, once I left them longer to dry alone, they created some really good shapes that I was proud of.
