Rather than practicing new makeup, this week I decided to spend some time researching before I make my next complex look. The next thing I'm planning on attempting is a "slashed eye" look. This will be used in my group's "How to Read Lit Like a Professor" chapter video, as we're talking about blindness.
The biggest challenge that I'll have to face is that my model is allergic to latex. I really don't want to kill Hannah, so I've been researching alternatives to liquid latex for sculpting special effects. So far, the most promising substitute that I've seen is liquid Elmer's Glue over cotton balls or tissues. I've watched way too many tutorials to list them all, so it's pretty safe to say that if that amount of reviews confirms that it works then it probably works.
Another issue is that all of the makeup tutorials based on losing an eye usually use a gouged eye special effect like so.
This is not at all what I want, so I'll have to do some experimentation. We'll see how it goes next week!
Kaylee, I am glad that you do not want to kill Hannah. I think that you will do really great with the makeup. I hope that you are able to find some more references to help you achieve more of what you want, but I think that playing around with the supplies will even help you in the long run. Sometimes you can even come up with a better outcome if you play around with how you're going to do it.
