Good morning world, welcome to Mix. Fix & go. Today I will be talking about special effects make up and how to create 2 easy looks.

Here we go, you will need modelling wax, bruised pallet, fake blood and playing cards.

The first effect that I’m going to recreate is a cut in the skin. You can do this look anywhere on the skin, you can do a slit in the neck, a cut on your knee, a cut on your face, anything depending what look you want to create. Step 1 you will need to make sure the area of skin you are creating this look on is clean and dry then you can begin, You will need your wax just a small amount to create the outline of your cut you can make it any size depending on the look you want to create, a handy tip is to use baby powder and then warm the wax up in-between the palms of your hands making it easier to mould onto your skin. Step 2 you will need your bruised pallet to create a bruised effect around the cut which makes it look more effective so you can make the look a bad as you want. Another handy tip if you start off with the lighter colours blending them around the cut and into your skin colour and slowly start building the colours up with the darker colours closest to the cut I find it easier using a face painting sponge to create this effect you may need to wash it in-between each colour its completely up to you. Step 3 the final touch by adding the fake blood you can add as much as you want depending on the effect you want to create. A handy tip for handling fake blood is using a medicine syringe as you can control the fake blood better. Hope my handy tips help you create this simple and effective look.

The second look that I am going to recreate is a playing card stuck in the skin; you can create this look anywhere on the body depending what look you want to put across. Step 1 You will first need to get the playing card and cut it to the shape you would like it you may need to measure it against the area you wish to crate this look you may find it easy to use a pen and mark the cad where it needs cutting. Step 2 You then need to get the wax handy tip is to warm it up in-between you palms then place it either on the base of the card or on to your skin, they is no easy way of placing the playing card on to your skin its just making sure the wax is warm enough to mould. Step 3 if you get you bruised pallet and start by adding the lighter colours and blending them in to the cut and your skin then add the darker colours closer to the cut. Step 4 by adding the fake blood it is making the card look like it’s sticking out of your skin, you can add as much blood as you want depending on the effect you want, handy tip is to use a medicine syringe so you have more control. I hope these tips help you create the look you want.
