My Scarification

My Attempt

Heres my attempt on Scarification, i really liked doing this, it was very messy but really fun. I was surprised by how much I liked it because when watching and looking at the photos i really didn't like it cause I'm not good with bumps on the skin or skin problems. However when I was doing it I really didn't mind the look of it at all!!

Here is my first attempt at Scarification, here I am showing you all the different materials you can use on the body to achieve this look, along with the ones i have shown in the image above you can also use pasta which hasn't been cooked.  When i was doing this I was only practising applying it to the skin, i wasn't practicing any patterns, I just wan't to see how it would stick. 

How to Apply

1.  The way to apply the materials, is to place your chosen material into a bowl and add liquid latex, you want to make sure you have enough to cover all of the materials but not too much that it turns out looking like soup. 
2. Mix all of it together, it should be quite a thick consistency. 
3. Then using either tweezers, a spatula or your hands place it onto your models body. 
4. Apply it to the desired pattern you like
5. You need to make sure that it has dried before you start moving around, you can either wait for it to dry or use a hairdryer on a cool setting. 
6. Once it has dried, you then need to apply supracolour to blend the scarification in and for it to look like it's an addition to the skin.
7. Decide what colour you want it to be, whether it's skin colour or red(fresh cuts).
8. Apply the colour with either a sponge or your makeup brushes. 
9. Make sure you blend evenly. Adding definition if you need to.

Here is a photo of my first try at making a pattern, I used rice. I like the idea of using V shaping, I forgot to take a photo after I applied the supra colour i will be doing it again so I will upload another one don't worry! I really like this technique and think i'm defiantly going to use this on one of my images.
