Hello!
Halloween has just passed and I had a huge bunch of work on it. I was creating 8 characters and 2 simple makeups that day and it made me really tired. Its hard to spend 5 hours on your feet painting people, don't you agree?
Anyways, now I will show how to create very simple open wound with stitches which looks better on a bit tanned skin, cause I have very pale skin and some colors I've used couldn't match it.
Colors of paint were mixed by myself mostly but you can try to find similar colors or mix them yourself too.
These are the tools I've used.
1. Simplest eyeshadow I've found in a bit dark red, black, light pink, a bit more pinky, natural beige and light beige. (Pink eyeshadow are not necessary if you don't have pale skin)
2. Liquid paints in black, white, red and dark red. I've mixed red and a drop of black to get dark red. Those paints used to be Kryolan aquacolors liquid. But you can use 2/4 gouache, 1/4 acrylic paint and 1/4 glycerin to get those paint. Please don't use them much or often and apply some primer on your face before applying gouache.
