The final result is shown above and is referred to as Figure 4 below.
A. Apply a small patch of Clown White on forehead and
powder with Colorset Powder (this will simulate an open wound).
B. Work pieces of Synwax or Nose Putty by hand to form top and
bottom portions of "open wound" on forehead. (A
light film of Spirit Gum will aide in adhering Nose
Putty pieces to forehead.) Build up the bridge of your
nose with Synwax or Nose Putty, leaving an angular gash to
simulate wound.
C. Cover entire face and Putty constructions with Flesh
Makeup. Highlight cheekbones, jawbones and
temporal ridge with a light application of Clown White.
D. Create "hollow look" by drawing lines under eyes, cheekbones, along frown lines and under natural brows with Brown Makeup. Hollow neck by lining neck muscles with the same color.
E. Outline forehead Putty construction and fill in nose gash with R/B Red Makeup. Using Stipple Sponge, stipple Black and Dark Brown Makeup onto cheeks and forehead to simulate skin decomposition
(Figure 4: top photo). Complete the look with Stage Blood and costume.Materials for this project can be found under the Costume department at
