Burn Baby Burn

Burns! The pain that can be cause by even first degree burns can be excruciating, Most adults can relate to having burnt their epidermis (outer layer of skin) whether the injury has occur by being clumsy while cooking, touching hot electrical appliance or even going out on a summers day with nothing on to protect our poor skin.

But how do we recreate this look using make up?

There are many products that are used to recreate a burn whether 1st 2nd or 3rd degree, I have included some below and the effects they give.

one of the cheapest most effective products to use is gelatin! the jelly texture looks similar to a fresh burn and by using cream to give the burn depth and colour the look can show a great recreation.

Wax can be really good to create small burns when sculpted in to the correct shape.

Liquid latex is often used again a very cheap product that gives a great effect by using a thin layer the tiring the center this can be an extremely realistic effect
