Practicing scars



Me and my peer becky recently practiced creating scars on each other, I want to include scars in my final makeup design for Quentin, so I took the time to play with collodion and practice scars for the final make-up look. I had already had the chance to use collodion before in a studio session with Sue, but this time I took more time to layer the same scar to see what outcome I would get/prefer. 

I first applied a base colour to my scar using a Rimmel mauve color lip liner  and also a No7 nude coloured lip liner. I began drawing small stroke shapes on the area of skin I wanted to create my scar and afterwards gently blended and smoothed out the edges of the scar lines so that they appeared softer. Once I had finished the base of my scar I began applying layers of Collodion over the scar shape, I love using this product a lot and found that whilst i was applying collodion the skin indented and began to scar into the base shape I had created adding more depth and realism to the scar. I discovered you can really intensify and layer collodion a lot which creates a more dramatic scar, these are the types of scars I plan to create on my Quentin character. I want to incorporate scars into my Quentin make-up design in order for me to add more gore and prosthetic make-up to intensify my inspiring word Glass Prism. When considering continuity and character dealing, I feel if Quentin were a real character on AHS Freak Show, his scars would always be on show and dramatic, but he wouldn't always be bleeding and have huge shards of glass pointing out of his face.
