Creating wounds using molds

->good for continuity

->can do all shapes of scars and wounds

->use non porous mold

You will need:

  Pros – aid (glue for sticking on prosthetics)

·         Pro clean ( pros- aid remover)

·         Barrier foam/cream

·         Translucent powder, Illamasqua, or baby powder

·         Kryolan super colour

·         Wound filler

·         Blood

·         Kryolan ultrafoundation

·         Witch hazel, cleanser, moisturizer

·         Baby buds

·      ->   Before applying gelatine or latex apply barrier foam

·     ->    Gelatine and pros- aid are good for people with sensitive skin, most of people are highly unlikely to be allergic to it

·     ->    Petrolease(spray)- you spray it in mold before  putting the gelatine in it, you can also use Vaseline

·      ->   Apply pros- aid on the mold as well as on the part of skin where you want to apply it

·      ->   Make sure to wait until it is clear otherwise it won’t stick on properly

·      ->   Also make sure to apply glue on all the edges as well

·        -> When glue is clear stick it on skin and press it down hard, especially around the edges

·      ->   The apply witch hazel on a baby bud and melt down the edges, so it will blend in with skin, take your time doing it

·     ->    When done powder

·        -> To thin down colours mix it with cleanser or moisturizer

·      ->   Colours have to look translucent and NOT fake!

·       ->  Don’t press down the mold with a cotton pad, it will stick to adhesive and you have fizzy bits on it then, use rather a tissue

·      ->   Once the mold is powdered you can start colouring, colour in the mold how you want it to be

·      ->   I did a gunshot so I applied some of the 079 and 081 from the Kryolan super colour into the center and blended it out a bit, then I mixed 071 and 081 and applied it around the center

·       ->  Then you can fill in with wound filler

·       ->  If the mold has same skin colour as the person you are doing it on you don’t need to use foundation to match skin colour, otherwise do it before you start colouring

·       ->  At last you can apply the blood

·      ->   depending on what kind of  wounds you are doing you can also apply Vaseline for shine

->I noticed that while I was melting down the edges with the witch hazel the mold fell apart/crumbled apart instead of blending in really-> so I started powdering it in between and then blended again, then powdered again, blending in, powdering, blending in-> that worked better
