Make up effect we will need:

There are many ways that you can achieve this look. At the make up academy she used a light matte face powder and this was done using a big makeup powder brush and just lightly applying in to her face.We then mixed up some crème eyeshadows which come in all different shades and then tried to apply is just under the eyes.

For achieving the fake blood effect a way you can make it is by mixing the red food colouring with golden syrup and flour to make it less runny so that it appears to look more realistic. You may also want to add a darker food colouring like blues for the darker parts. this would be applied first the that it looks as if it is coming straight from the wound. You can apply it using a sponge or a paint brush.

For an old wound or scab its good to have a rough base to cover to get that bumpy texture. This would be something like a corn flake which you would then add water to so that it stuck to the skin. After this you would used brown paint or food colouring to go over to get the scabbing effect followed by some blood mixture to make it look like it was oozing out.
