I was working with Grace who I worked with a few weeks ago and she gave me a Twiggy inspired look. This week she asked me if I could go with her because I've got short fingernails. If you're a bit puzzled all will become clear very shortly.
I started work on Grace first with my injury that consisted of making it look like a pencil had been stabbed in her head. Yes, that was a disgusting idea and no, I never thought in a million years I'd be making it look like that had happened to someone. By the time I was nearly finished (while I was waiting for the pencil to stick) I really started to freak myself out a little bit as it really was gross, but an hour and 45 minutes later I was finished and photographing her bloody face. Lovely.
After she removed all trace of ever being wounded by a pencil and having a hole in her head she then worked on me. My face stayed clear of any fake blood and wax this week but my left hand wasn't so fortunate. I had a cut on the side of my hand and my middle finger with "glass" sticking out of it (broken CD case actually), 2 fingernails coming up with blood underneath them (hence the need for short real nails so they could be disguised) and scratches and dirt all over my hand. I won't lie, it was rank. The tutor said that Grace's make-up and the girl sitting next to us were the most disgusting of the evening. If it can gross a Make-up tutor out then I figure it must have been pretty bad (in a good way though because of how real it was).
Sadly we ran out of time so my whole hand wasn't transformed into a massacre, but I think 3 fingers was quite enough.
As always, I'll now show you some photos, but if you don't like fake blood or the look of nails peeling off then look away now..
