Burns


When creating burns using Gelatine you could get/cut the desired amount into a plastic bowl to melt it so that you can put it onto the skin when it's cooled down. It is important to ensure the Gelatine is cool enough to put on the skin as you don't want to burn your model for real as you will come across as unprofessional. Also when working with Gelatine when you have finished putting it on the skin you can use 'witch scrub to smooth out any edges as otherwise it will look too unrealistic.

When creating these burns I was quite nervous as I am new to all of the special affects makeup and I'm just not used to making burns or cuts. I'm more used to doing beauty makeup and I am a bit of a perfectionist and like to ensure everything I create is to the best of my ability.
Looking back at the pictures and how the session went I feel that I was able to create quite a realistic burn for my first time. However I also feel that I could have smoothed the edges out more and could have payed closer attention to real burns to ensure it looks as realistic as it could.

Health and safety
When using Gelatine you need to heat it up so you need to give it time to cool down before putting it on your models skin as you don't want to burn them for real as it will make you look unprofessional which is something you would want to avoid as it will stop people taking you seriously.
