For my final look i went with a look which focused on special effects as i had seen a couple of photos which i wanted to try and recreate in my own style. My main concept for this look was to create a nun which had been possessed. I got this idea by seeing an upside down cross carved into the head. I liked how this looked as it made me feel uncomfortable just looking at it and knew i could re create this with the makeup i have.
When recreating the look i left my skin bare with a light foundation as i wanted to use a toothbrush and flick the blood all over my face/body and letting it naturally drip from where i would be placing my wounds. I created the wounds by applying scar wax to the area needed and blending it into the skin. I then got my spatula to create a cut into the wax and then adding a darker red paint to create depth. I then created a cut mouth by only using grease paints. I wanted to make it look as though i had been crying tears of blood so i decided to tip my head back and let them drip naturally down my face this led to me getting the blood in my eye, my eyes started watering really badly which was a problem. Resolving this was simple i just got some tissue and wiped my eyes trying not to touch the makeup and ruin it. I definitely wouldn’t do this on someone else as i wouldn’t want to harm anyone.
I edited my final photo as i wanted my eye blacked out to make it more scary and i was happy with how that made my look turn out. I would have ordered myself a nun outfit if i could of afford it but sadly i couldn’t. I would have like to have this photo taken place in front of a old church to make the photo more realistic and spooky. Overall i am happy with how my final image turned out and want to re create another look similar to this as i had a lot of fun creating it.
