Here's the step-by-step method of how I created the look and also the materials I used to create the look. I hope you enjoy the final look!

Step One:
Place the bald cap on your model/self and mark out where you need to cut the cap to fit. Once this has been decided very carefully cut out where you have marked. To help get the placement around the ears cut from the lobe of the ear to the tip and the bald cap should ping into place behind your ear, but adjust if needed.
Next with the bald cap placed on your head, peel the sides back and apply and thin strip of the spirit gum on your head where the edge of the bald cap will be. Make sure to tap the spirit gum so it becomes tacky, and then once tacky stick down one side of the bald cap first and then pulling the other side of the cap taught stick that side down too. Then press the bald cap down to help it stick for about a minute.
After a few minutes, take a traingle sponge and apply a small amount of liquid latex to it and then stipple the latex on the edge of the bald cap where it meets your skin, making sure to keep it randomly placed and not to thick to help blend the cap into your skin better. Keep applying more layers until you are happy with the way the bald cap has been blended into your skin. Make sure to let each layer of liquid latex dry before you apply the next layer and you can use a hair dryer on the cool setting to help make this process go quicker.
Step Two:
Next start to apply liqiud latex to parts of the face where you want to create cuts/lacerations. Build up several layers using the triangle sponge, making sure to keep the edges thin. Then start to colour the bald cap using the Ben Nye Death Wheel using a all four different sponges and all the colours in the wheel stippling them on the bald cap and skin until you are happy with the effects, textures and colours.

Step Three:
Once you have the bald cap, face and neck coloured, start to add dark colours around the eyes using the 3 darkest colours in the naked basics palette and the purple, blue and the dark red/brown in the Ben Nye master bruise wheel. Keep the reddy colours around the lid, inner corners and in the lash line of your eye and use the browns and blues around the inner corners and bags of the eyes. Also use the reds and browns around the side of your nose and mouth.
Next using the plastic spatula or a pair of tweezers, carefully start to pull open the latex patches you put on the face earlier, peeling back the side to create a wound shape. To colour the wounds first use the dark brown/red in the master bruise wheel with a small brush to colour the whole of the wound, then take the lighter red and paint around the outside of the wound blending it out with a sponge. Keep doing this until you are happy with the outcome. Next apply the thick/dark liquid blood inside theses wounds filling them and then use the lighter blood to stipple around the wound and to overfill the wound so it creates running droplets of blood.
Next apply the mehron tooth colours, by first drying off your teeth with a piece of tissue and then painting both the decay and black colours on to create a mottled effect on the teeth. Make sure to let the paint dry before letting it get wet again.
Step Four:
Removal! This is really easy, first just carefully pull the latex wounds off the skin and throw them away, then taking your choice of makeup remover (I recommend wipes), start to remove the fake blood, cream colours and eyeshadow. Once that is removed peel back the rest of the latex around the bald cap, then taking the spirit gum remover on a cotton wool bud, carefully move it along and under the bald cap where you placed the spirit gum and start to removed the glue bit by bit. Once most of the glue is removed peel off the bald cap and then go over the place where you put the spirit gum and use the remover over it again, making sure all the spirit gum has been removed. Then just cleanse and wash your face and the makeup should be all gone.
Thanks for reading guys and I hope you have fun recreating the look!
