Technical File - Fever/Pallor, Sweat, Rash and Tears.

Products Used:

• Black Stipple Sponge
• Alcohol
• Supracolor
• Glycerine
• Flick Brush
• Beauty Brushes
• Eyelash Glue (or Liquid Latex as an alternative)

Fever

How to:

1. Conceal any blemishes on the skin.
2. Blot on red Supracolor with your fingers around the face in places that would get particularly red from a fever - including ears, neck eyes and the hairline.
3. Put eyelash glue with your fingers on the lips, use a dabbing motion to create texture.
4. Add powder over glue ones dry to create a drier effect.
5. Red Supracolor and Liquid Blood can be used in between the dry skin effects to look sore.

Health and Safety:

• Be careful when adding eyelash glue and powder to the lips so that it doesn't get in the mouth.
• Do not close the lips together until the glue is dry.

Evaluation:

Overall, I am sort of happy with the look of my fever effect. If I were to do it again, I would have less red around the side of the face and more of the cheeks area as this would look more realistic. I would also add more of a blotchy effect as I feel the redness looks to even in some areas.

Sweat

How to:

• Using a black stipple sponge, dab Glycerine to the skin focus on the forehead area.

Health and Safety:

• Excessive amount of Glycerine product application could cause it to drip down the forehead and is a risk to the eye area.

Evaluation:

Overall, I think my application was ok, but I felt that it effected the appearance of existing applied make-up which therefore reduced the effectiveness. If I were to do this again, I would be more careful and considerate of the application of the product.

Rash

How to:

• Mix red Supracolor and IPA together to make a wet consistency.
• Using a stiff brush, flick the consistency on to the skin to create a rash-like appearance.

Health and Safety:

• Ensure client's eyes are kept completely closed during this process as IPA in particular would be dangerous to the eyes.

Evaluation:

Overall, I am not happy with the appearance of the effect. I should have done this aspect at the very last minute as when I edited my fever effect, it smudged the rash effect which made it look more like an injury. I would also mix the two products together much better to prevent larger bits of paint going on to the skin.

Tears

How to:

• Apply eye drops into an open eye to simulate the appearance of tears.

Health and Safety:

• Ensure you use a fresh eye drop tube on each individual and eye to prevent cross-contamination.
