Products:

• Prosaide - specialist glue to stick things onto the face or body - contact glue. 
• Pro- Clean, Glue remover ( Oil Based ).
• Witch Hazel.

Health and safety: 

  - check model not allergic to scilicone - if so use geletin mould. 

  - make sure use the correct remover to take off the glue. 

  - wash hands and have a clean and tidy workspace. 

Technique:

• scar matrix made of geletin or silicone, made in a mould, means you can make multiple scars that look the same to help with continuity on movie sets. Gelatine is good because it moves with the skin and is very pliable.
• Cut edges of the scar with scissors. Don't cut a straight edge as straight edges pick up on camera and look very obvious.
• Apply the glue to the skin and the gelatine in order to create a tacky surface to stick the scar onto. 
• Make sure glue goes clear and the press scar firmly onto the skin, you can stretch the scar to make it look more realistic. 
• Clean Up the edges with Witch Hazel to blend the scar into the skin. 
• Remove any excess glue with the remover. 
• Put powder over the wound to create a fleshy texture.
• Colour up using supra colour palette.

I enjoyed this lesson as it was very relaxed and calm. I think I could have done a better job with the scar as I think that I cut too much of straight edge on my scar which made it very hard to blend into the skin on one side. However I think my colouring of the scar wasn't very bad and with practice I think I will get the hang of this and make it more realistic.
