Halloween Chelsea Smile
I’ve always been so interested in Special FX make up but just never knew where to start, and still not 100% sure. This is a very fiddley and bold Halloween look, so it will depend on how you’re wanting to go out!
I didn’t want to purchase a expensive FX kit as I just wanted to try it and see how terrible I would be! (Why is there no make up classes around here?). I purchased the wax, spirit glue and fake blood from here, it’s a great price for just playing around and find your feet!
I started by heating a ball of wax in my hand until it was sticky and playable, I rolled it into a sausage type shape to match the size/shape I wanted it to be on my face. I then blended the wax onto my face to make it look like it’s actually my skin, I found it a lot harder to blend than I thought though! One I moulded it to the shape I wanted I then cut through the wax to make a ‘cut’. I blended/changed the edges of the cut so they weren’t so smooth of a cut.
Once I got it how I wanted (slightly), I then added foundation to help it blend into the colour of my skin more. A foundation with heavy coverage is needed to make the wax more of a skin tone and less noticeable! Once I was all done I added some lipstick and fake blood, and voilà!
Let me see your versions! Or if you have any tips I would love to learn more!
