Dead Body for Makeup Final


For my final in Film Makeup I had to do a dead body. My model was in a gang related shooting. I put exit/bullet hole wounds, fake tattoo, a sliced throat from a small razor and some beard stubble on him. You can't actually see it but he actually has a big ass track mark like Jared Leto in Requiem for a Dream. His body was kind of hard to work with also beacuse he had a bad ass farmers tan it was hard to mottle his skin and make him look dead not ashy on his tan skin. I wasn't too happy with the results because I knew I could have done better if I wasn't so damn nervous. He wasn't my initial model because my real model came about 40 mins late so I had to use my sisters bf  as my model and I was on a time crunch.

The blood I used was $18!!!! It came in a small little bottle and its a dark blood so its best for dried up looking blood thats been exposed to air for a long period of time. The Tattoos I used were about 4 dollars each and look reallllly real! I fooled many.The bullet wounds I missed one step in the painting stage and i fucked it up badly. That's when I started to get antsy and pissed off.
