Basic Special Effects Makeup (Beaten up dead body)



All you need:
1. Very light foundation
2. Some grease paints (red,blue,yellow,black & various shades of brown)
3. Green & Grey eyeshadow
4. Translucent powder
5. Tuplast (or mortician wax)
6.  FX blood
7. Cotton buds
8. Stipple sponge

To begin I added a green and grey eyeshadow to the lightest liquid foundation that I had, mixing well. I then applied this to the face and neck with a foundation brush and powdered to seal. I took a little of the blue, red and yellow into the dish. I put a little of the yellow at the corner at the eye and blended out and brought it up slightly at the inner corner of the eye. Powder to seal, I did the same with the red and sealed again with the translucent powder. I did the same with a little of blue on the bony areas of the socket and made it darker with a smaller brush. On the opposite side a put a little bruise in the same sequence as before only less. For the broken nose, apply spirit gum pat to make tacky and then apply tuplast in two thin lines across the bridge of the nose (make sure there is a small space between the two lines), have it more to one side and blend the edges out. Paint a black line in the middle of the tuplast lines, this will add depth. Paint a little red inside and bring up the sides. Add little of FX blood to the gap. Brush a light brown eyeshadow, (brown grease paint or bronzer) from where the soft part of your nose stops up towards the start of the brow on one side of the nose, on the other side of the nose starting in the same place brush the eyeshadow up but curve it towards the other line but don’t join the lines. This will give the illusion of a broken nose. Apply black to the inside of one nostril, then a reddish colour then apply FX blood dripping it down towards the lip.



You can have a lot of fun with this makeup. Don't worry about doing it perfect because it won't look realistic if the cuts and bruises look too tidy.

Hope you have fun re creating this look.
