Burns!

To create this fleshy burnt effect i used gelatin and applied to the arm, To make the textured effect i used a spatula  and tapped the gelatin which created more depth.
 To colour the burn i started with dark thick blood were the gelatin goes in slightly to make it look more 3d on the outer parts i added a more lighter colour blood in and around the burns also adding yellow puss for more of a fleshy look 

i also mixed the puss with blood so that the deeper parts of the wounds looked like it was oozing 

For a first try i was pleased with the outcome of it but the colouring of the burn could be improved.

My Victorian Hairstyle

This was my first attempt at an victorians hairstyle
 I started by finding my middle parting I then split the hair into two, front and back. 
With the back of the hair I separated  into two in a horseshoe shape I then gathered that section in a hairband and made a bun only difference was i did not join the bun together so it was four equal separated parts 

I then curled the bottom of the hair and pinned in and around the bun.
with the front of the hair I kept the middle parting and with one side i made 3 large curls and swept around the side of the the head I repeated this to the other side.


For my first attempt i thought it looked ok but i think i would need to practice more for it to look more Victorian and less modern

Victorain Hairstyles

Victorian women's hair was usually thick and long,
 In the 1830's to the 1860's hair usually had a middle parting and was curled or plaited and pinned up. there hair was very structured.



In the mid 1860's and 1890's Victorian hair changed its form it was less structured there curls were looser and hair was wore down with that came he use of the hot iron which created more longer and softer looking curls.

Ageing makeup

I was really excited to try this look for the first time I started by making the model frown so I would be able to see the creases in the forehead since the model had no creases I had place them myself.

I applied a darker colour from her skin tone to apply the creases I did this same technique under the eyes getting the model to squint so that the wrinkles would appear and around the mouth.

I went on to add bags to the eyes using a dark brown. with the lips i asked the model to pout and dabbed foundation around the lips


I think in order for this makeup to look realistic i would have to practice much more on the lines and were the wrinkles are placed especially on the forehead
