So as I said in the video, there has been a huge amount of comments on Clay's cut across his forehead, saying that it was actually so bad it took people's attention away from the actual show!
I decided to have a little say about it myself as well as doing a makeup tutorial on how I would have done it myself.
Now, I'm not here to be an ass about someone else's work, we are all artists and do things our own ways and the ways that just are best for us.
I see where the viewers were coming from and that's all I'm going to say, I'm not about the hater life.
ANYWAY!
Since the video was so short, there was barely any time for some thorough explanation of the steps. So like always I will do it here.
The first step before applying wax on the skin, is applying witch hazel on the skin to get rid of any oil that could potentially have the wax slip and slide or simply fall off.
When that's done apply spirit gum onto the skin, MAKE SURE to patch test, some people have really bad allergic reactions to spirit gum, ironically, including myself...
Spirit gum is a contact adhesive so poke it a bit with your brush or cotton bud and it will get tacky.
Then just apply your bit of wax and start blending it. Remember to apply small amounts of wax, it's better to add it on later than to take excess off ruining the blend.
To make your life a bit easier, coat your spatula or fingers with vaseline, then when you're done blending smooth out the surface of the wax with a bit of vaseline on your finger. 'Cut' the wax to create the cut. Powder and apply sealer.
Do this for all five cuts. Let the sealer dry, then powder again.
Now the fun part is creating the bruises and skin irritation.
So since clay just got the cut, it should be a bit irritated and swollen, you can achieve this using minimal amounts of a one shade darker than your skin tone, pink, red and tiny little bits of burgundy.
Using a small fluffy brush add the first shade, follow by pink then red and then burgundy around the edges of the cut.
Fill the inside of the cut with some red in the centre and dark red on the edges, then add some HD blood or even better if you have wound filler! But don't let the blood drip yet, just keep it sitting inside the cut for now.
Do this around all the cuts as they're still fresh, follow the way I do it in the video.
This will be your cleaned up Clay after his run in with Bryce.
Now for the bloodier version, add some more red and burgundy around the edges to give it a 'just got hit' look,
For the building black eye just use the red left over on your brush and kind of 'contour' around the eye area to make it look swollen, odd to explain, but do it and you'll know haha.
If you have a wire sponge use it to create broken capillaries from the impact of the hit, use burgundy for this. If you don't have a wire sponge use a really prickly brush like I did.
Now, the blood, play around with it, just don't add an overdramatic amount of it!
When you apply blood, think of gravity, you can’t have someone lay down as they bleed but their blood flowing vertically down their face as if they were sitting down! If the person lays down make sure the blood leaks down onto the side the persons laying at! If the person sits up have the blood leak vertically.
Your face is done, just add a costume and you’re good to go!
