In today's master class, you will learn how to make an artificial cut or wound on your hand at home for Halloween. Materials and tools can be found freely available, something to buy at the store, something at the drugstore.
For this you will need:
- paint: brown, red, blue, blood; - paint brush; - absorbent cotton; - PVA glue; - foundation; - stack; - alcohol; - artificial blood.
Choose a place on the body where the wound will be located. Just keep in mind that such makeup will have to be removed, and it will pull the hairs on the skin. Therefore, try to choose a less hairy place. Treat this area with alcohol. After that, apply a thin layer of PVA glue as much as your wound will occupy.
Now make a backing out of a piece of absorbent cotton. It should be thin and the edges should blend into the skin. We attach it to the glue you just applied to the skin.
This absorbent cotton is covered on top of the glue. There should not be any clots of glue in the process. The edges of the wound should blend into the skin.
It is necessary to make two blanks from absorbent cotton for the convex part of the wound. It will be two walls at the top with a blunt end and smoothly going to zero at the bottom.
Fix the walls at a distance of about 0.5 cm from each other with the blunt end up. Semi-transparent ends of the bottom spread in different directions.
This blank on top should be completely covered with glue so that it is already like a wound. The top edge of each wall should be very thin, so you can achieve the desired effect by using a stacker. The workpiece should dry properly. This is the disadvantage of working with glue, as it takes a long time to dry.
The foundation should pick up as much as possible under the color of the skin. Only after the glue dries, we cover our artificial wound on the hand with foundation. Again, we let it dry.
Now there is the most creative stage of creating the wound. Paints can take both special makeup, and for drawing. All the recesses are painted with dark brown paint. The borders need to be shaded. All of the most convex parts are painted red. The rest of the wound can be left light, or you can add some translucent bruises mixed in with the bloody paint. Finally, we fill the inside of the wound with artificial blood, which you can also make yourself from dye, water and gelatin.
At the end, fill the inside of the wound with artificial blood, which can also be made on your own from dye, water and gelatin. Be sure to smear the blood around the edges of the wound and splash a couple of drops on the skin. This is how easy it is to make an artificial wound or cut with blood on your arm or other area of the body at home.

Other ways
How to make a scar for a party really impressive? If you have sufficient financial resources, you can simply buy theatrical paraphernalia in a specialized store. As you know, special skin prostheses are used for this purpose in cinematography. You can also buy special wax and sculpt your own, unique and unrepeatable model of the scar. Some prefer the use of gelatin. Methods of applying makeup is a huge variety - it is possible that you may wish to invent your own personal version for a friendly party.
Contact lens fitting process
Selection by color. The first thing a doctor begins the process of fitting aesthetic lenses with is determining the natural color of the iris. For this purpose, a thorough examination is performed in the ophthalmologist's office. The walls in the room should be painted a neutral gray color. The eyes are examined in two states: in natural daylight and bright artificial light. Especially black or white capes are used on the clothes, so that their color does not interfere with the identification of the true iris shade.
For optimum selection of the model is also a good help is a special set of colored lenses. It contains samples of different colors and tones. Placing them on the patient's eye the specialist defines the degree of color darkening which corresponds more to the second, healthy eye.
Selection according to vision parameters. When lenses are made, it is also taken into account whether or not the patient has a refractive error. It is possible to make aesthetic lenses that can be used to correct vision. In the prescription for such lenses the doctor indicates the base curvature, diameter, color, pupil diameter (at different degrees of light), and the optic power of the lens.
Sometimes it happens that the existing imperfection is quite large. In such cases it is necessary to wear scleral lenses which can cover the whole visible part of the protein. They do not touch the cornea and can be worn for several days in a row. An ophthalmologist performs an optical coherence tomography, calculating all the necessary parameters of the eye, and then sends the data to an optics laboratory. One week later, the contact lenses for aesthetic eye prosthetics will be ready.
When ordering this type of lens, accurate determination of individual eye parameters is required. Aesthetic lenses are expensive, and even if they don't fit, a person will still have to pay. It is good to be able to try on a so-called transparent "blank" lens without a pattern beforehand, to see how it fits on the cornea and how comfortable it is for the patient. Then it is sent to the laboratory to be molded. When ordering the lens again, the price will be cheaper, since no more color and size measurements will be needed.
Large scar with blood
If you want to make a big scar, burn or festering wound, especially appropriate for a zombie image, you will need, in addition to eyelash glue, foundation, powder or beige eyeshadow, blush and makeup in different colors (red, white, black, shades of red), plain white tissues (toilet paper will also do, if it is not thick and white).
Sometimes it is advised to add glutinous boiled oatmeal or lumps of gelatin to make it more authentic. Separate the layers of tissue so that they are very thin, and tear them into small pieces. These will be scraps of flesh that have fallen away from your artificial wound. Glue them to your face with eyelash glue, spreading them out a little chaotically so that they overlap each other and are floppy.
On the side, so that you don't see the transition to the skin, apply makeup and foundation, and then paint on top with blush and shadow. With the makeup, make a splash of blood near the wound. When the design dries, it will look very intimidating. If you want to smear your scars with blood, it's best to choose store-bought prop blood for this purpose.
Ketchup does not dry well and is very runny; red paint, if it is not makeup, looks pale and unnatural. A thick syrup tinted with food coloring can be boiled and applied (but remember to make it more of a burgundy color); it will feel on the skin, though it looks good, and will tighten, especially in the first hours.
Do not use real blood for makeup! The first thing to do is to make up a person's face, and the second thing is to use it. First of all, as funny as it is, real blood is completely different from what we are used to in the movies and games, and that is exactly the resemblance that all Halloween trick-or-treaters are looking for. Secondly, raw meat or parts of it that get on your skin can be very bad for your skin and your health in general, especially if there are little scratches on the skin that we usually do not notice.
