This is a purely prosthetic-inspired look, in which I aimed to make my face look like it had been burnt?! Creepy eh – and just in time for HALLOWEEN! And the secret, expensive, rare material I used for this look? Loo roll. Just your bog standard (hehe) paper you’d wipe your bits with?!
I started by moisturising my face, just so I had something tacky
to place the paper on before adhering it. I then smothered the area in eyelash
glue and took think layers of the paper and ripped them and tore them into malleable
pieces before sticking them to my face. I then took a finger-full of Vaseline and
rubbed it around the edges to smooth it onto my bare skin. Afterwards, I took a
deep red blush and smoky black eye shadow (just cheapo ones, nothing
expensive!) and began to pat it on top of the paper/Vaseline combo. NOTE: THIS
IS WHERE IT GETS MESSY! I then took a mega cheap sticky red lip gloss and used
a cotton bud to move it around the area mixing it with the red and black shadow
combo. When I had achieved the desired colour/look, I took a pair of tweezers
and pulled at the tissue and filled in any white bits with more shadow, and
used a little high-coverage liquid concealer around the edges where necessary.
As for the rest of my face, I took a powder puff with a
little of the black shadow on and patted it around my face, aiming to give it a
bit of a ‘smoke-damaged’ look, I didn’t even use any foundation. I continued
this down my neck and onto my ears (as I had my hair pulled back into a tight
ponytail) and onto the eyelids. No other makeup, including touching my brows or
mascara was used, as the primary focus of this was the true-to-life looking
burnt section.
Please comment below if you’d like to see a mini tutorial of
how I did this on my YouTube channel, I’d love to do one anyways!
