Arm Laceration!

So the other day my Mehron SynWax arrived in the mail and I had to start playing with it straight away! It was relatively easy to use, a little sticky like most waxes but that was easily over come with some Vaseline. So here's the outcome of my first little play with the wax. I hope you guys enjoy!

The Finished Look

What you'll need: 

Mehron - Spirit Gum and Remover

Vaseline

Random Detailer Brushes/ Plastic spatula/
Ben Nye - Bruise Wheel

Mehron - SynWax

Bloodymarvellous - Thick and Light
Blood

Triangle Sponges

Bloodymarvellous - Siliglass

Bloodymarvellous - Siliglass

Step one: 

Apply a small strip of spirit gum on to the place you want the lasceration to be, remember to tap the spirit gum so it becomes sticky. Whilst the spirit gum is tacky, use your spatula to scoop out a small amount of wax. Then coating your finger tips lightly with vaseline take the wax and mold it into a sausage shape, making sure there are no lumps in the wax. Then place the sausage shape of wax onto the spirit gum and then light coat your spatula with Vaseline and while holding down the wax strip start to use the spatula to blend down the edges of the wax so it blend seamlessly into your real skin. Keep blending and reapplying Vaseline to the spatula or your fingers until you are happy with how the wax is blended.

I blended the wax a little more after this photo was taken.

 Next take the pointed end of the spatula and making sure to be careful, slice down the wax to create a wound shape and remove the inside wax until you're happy with the result.

Step Two:

Using the dark blue from the Ben Nye bruise wheel fill the inside of the cut and then taking the dark brown/red go over the blue to help create depth.

Then taking the lighter red from the bruise wheel, use this around the edges and top of the cut and then taking a sponge or using your fingers blend out the red so the skin looks angry and inflamed, be careful not to misshape the wax when doing this!

Then using the yellow from the wheel, very lightly using a sponge dab this around the skin to create a light bruising effect.

Step Three:

Next take the thick/dark blood and use this to fill the wound, and then taking a sponge stipple some of the blood around the wound.

Then taking the light blood fill the wound so it overflows a little and then using the same sponge as before stipple this blood around the wound until you're happy with the result.

Then take two small pieces of the siliglass and place these into the cut using your fingers or tweezers, and adjust accordingly.

Step Four: 

Removal! Like the previous tutorial this is really easy to remove. First remove the siliglass pieces and wipe them off with a makeup wipe so they can be used again. Next using another makeup wipe, wipe away the blood and cream colours. Then start to carefully scrape away the wax with the spatula, this may take a while! Then once the wax is removed use the spirit gum remover on a cotton wool bud and wipe away the spirit gum, making sure you get rid of all of it.


Thanks for reading guys, I hope you enjoyed the look and have fun recreating it!
