Creating sweat, fever and pallor

When creating a look it is important to have real images to work with so you can ensure it looks realistic. To start you can mix the Kryolan supra colour to create a light/translucent colour to create red cheeks and red around the eyes and nose. This will make the model look unwell and bunged up.
Also when trying to create a sweaty look you need Glycerin as it creates a clammy look which makes it look more realistic. The Glycerin should be applied under the nose and at the top of the forehead as they are the natural places you sweat.

With this I feel I it didn't look as realistic as it could have but as it was the first time I had tried to create this kind of look I feel it didn't didn't go too bad. If I was to improve this I would use less red as I feel that it looks too unrealistic and would look better if I had used more of a pink colour then builded it up more as when I first tried to make the model look like she had a fever the red looked too harsh but I thought I'd make it work.

Health and safety
When creating this look you need to be careful that you don't get the Glycerine in the models eye as it would sting and hurt the model also making you look unprofessional which is something you would want to avoid.
