CHANGING THE SHAPE OF THE FACE USING MOLDING WAX (WEEK 3)

Products used:

Hair dryer (cool heat)

Moulding wax

Sealer

Supra-colour palette

Brushes

Stipple sponge

1. Cleaner and tone your models skin, DO NOT moisturise as that would make application of the wax more difficult.
2. Grab a reasonably sized amount of wax and rub between your hands to soften and ease application.
3. Once this is done place the wax on desired facial part (cheek bone for example.) Ensure your models eyes are closed. 
4. Using a flat utensil start from the edges blending away the wax so it blends into the skin. Add a little moisturiser to help blend it out.  Always be considerate of models comfort when applying to skin.
5. Pour a tiny bit of sealer into the lid then using a baby bud apply sealer all over the wax.
6. Carefully dry using a hair dryer and cold heat. Dry until it feels tacky.
7. When applying the coloured supra-colours or more natural tones ensure you pat with a stipple sponge don't rub as this will remove the wax. 
8. Finally powder to help the product stay.
9. Scrape off the face to remove.

Ensure;

• You blend well
• Avoid it looking like a lump on the face

After creating these and after being given feedback I noticed that I added way to much colour to the face. The whole point in this term is to try and learn these new special effects skills so I can't just try cover or correct my mistakes with colour because if neutral tones had to be used like on my final tribal image all the errors would be seen. I barely have any patience sometime so I think I really do need to be more patience when shaping and applying the wax on the face to ensure the best possible outcome.
