In todays' studio session, Sue demonstrated how to create a hot and sweaty make-up look as if someone was seriously ill and had a fever. Although Sue explained that the same techniques we used today could be used to make a client appear very tired and exhausted we focused on creating a sweaty, flustered makeup look. I really enjoyed today's session and although I don't think I will use this makeup technique for my Gothic Horror character, it was still really useful to learn and I found it really interesting.
Products Used
Glycerine
supra color
Matte primer
Moisturiser

Health and Safety
Wear old clothing when working with liquid latex and protect your models clothes with an apron
Make sure the room is well ventilated as the Liquid Latex is potent, can effect you and your model
When applying Liquid latex around the eye area make sure to get model to keep their eyes closed until dry
Make sure all make-up brushes/tools are clean
Make sure your hands are sanitised properly and products are clean (cross contamination)
Assess models skin if necessary considering any irritation or issues with their skin
If models reacts in response to products badly (Allergies) remove immediately

Notes
Pallor (color of the skin)
-Aim of session is to create a subtle style of make-up look
-For inspiration you can look at different illnesses caught in the Victorian Era etc Tb, Blue lips, Blotchy chest, different stages of an illness, fever, skin complaints, Blotchy neck etc.
Fever make-up look
- Red in and around the eye/ sore red eyes can be created by using a red lip/eye pencil
-Watery eyes can be created by using individual eye drop files (boots) individuals are better to use as they avoid contamination
- Black sponges are good for adding sweat
-Glycerine is good for sweat, sticks and falls slowly down the face and holds in place
-Its important to think about the colour of the skin etc no base makeup just effects, more skin like
-Hair, sweat around the hair also, can swarm down the hair to appear hot and sweaty, this can be done by spraying water through a bottle onto the face and then making sure the hair is included
-You can also by sweat gel and create sweaty clothes by wetting light coloured clothing with water to finish whole look on a character
-To create a slow falling tear (eyes) apply Glycerine under the eye lash through a pipette
-Consider what type of look you are trying to create, ill or tiredness etc
-redness, bags, wrinkles, redder nose, palish skin- these are all factors of tiredness
-Cover over any blemishes (you cannot keep blemishes visible on the skin because of continuity
Techniques and steps

-Using latex or old age stiple and a baby bud apply latex to the lips, (get your model to screw their lips together to bring out the lines and detail in lips more)
- Take Glycerin on a sponge and lightly dab onto the skin, this creates the sweat effect
-You can spray water all over the face too create more dew and sweat effect to the face
